There is a big skating ground near our school. In winter, I often go skating there, and I enjoy the sport very much.
我们学校附近有一个大滑冰场。冬天，我经常去那里滑冰，我非常喜欢这项运动。一开始，我去那里只是看别人滑冰。一些技术好的人能滑得很好。我由衷地钦佩他们。但我自己做不到。我只是旁观者。我多么渴望自己滑冰！
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!
我开始下定决心学习。但我一踏上冰，就绊倒了。突然，有人抓住我，我把他们的笑声翻红了脸。我非常失望，决定放弃。我正要离开时，一个女孩微笑着向我走来，说：“没关系，再试一次，你会成功的。”我一次又一次地尝试，但还是一次又一次地跌倒了。我忍受了伤痛，站起来继续努力。在那一刻，女孩又出现了。她大声对我说：“好吧，你做得很好。”然后她用手指给我签了一个V字。我非常感激，在她的鼓励下，我取得了很大的进步。很快，我就能滑得很好了。
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.
的人在做任何事情的时候，我们经常会遇到各种挫折，但我们不应该灰心，我们应该满怀信心地克服它们，而不是逃避它们。然后我们将获得一个又一个的胜利。
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.
