Learning Skating There is a big skating ground near our school. In winter, I often go skating there, and I enjoy the sport very much. At first, I only went there to watch others skating. Some with good skills could skate wonderfully. I admired them from the bottom of my heart. But I couldn't do it myself. I was only an onlooker. How I longed to skate myself! I began to make up my mind to learn it. But as soon as I stepped on the ice, I stumbled over myself. At once, some people caught me, and I turned red over their laughter. I became so disappointed that I decided to give up. When I was about to leave, a girl came towards me with a smile and said, "Never mind, try again and you will succeed." I tried again and again, but still fell again and again. I put up with the wounds and pains and stood up and went on trying. At that moment, the girl came up again. She said loudly to me, "Ok, you are doing very well." Then she signed a "V" to me with her fingers. I was very obliged, and with her encouragement, I made great progress. Soon, I could skate quite well. While doing anything, we often meet many kinds of setbacks, but we shouldn't lose heart, we should overcome them with confidence instead of getting away from them. Then we will gain one victory after another.学滑冰 我们学校附近有一个大型溜冰场。冬季里，我常去溜冰，因为我很喜欢这项体育活动。 起初，我只是跑去看别人滑。有些人滑得真好，我从心底里羡慕他们。但我不会，只能当观众。我多么想自己去滑呀。 我决心去试试。但是，一踏上冰场我就重重地摔倒了。随即引来一阵笑声。我被笑声激红了脸，觉得很沮丧，就准备离开场地。正要离开时，一个女孩子微笑着向我走来说：“没关系，再试试，你会成功的。” 于是，我又一遍一遍地试起来，但仍是一次次地摔倒，我忍着伤痛站起来继续滑。这时，那女孩又走过来，大声说道：“好，你做得很好。”接着向我打了个“V”形手势。我非常感激她。在她的鼓舞下，我学得很快，不久就能滑得很好了。做任何事情都会遇到各种挫折，但我们决不能失去信心，应该充满自信克服困难，而不是躲避困难，那么我们就必将从一个胜利走向另一个胜利。
