In Chengdu University, a coach is teaching some students how to climb a tree on the ground. The sport has become part of the school's outdoor sports subject. "Tree climbing" is special and different. Now 20 students have joined in the new game. At the end of the training, they will show how to climb trees with some special equipment. The practice is enjoyable.
"I think tree climbing is good for young people," said Li Zhonghua, an outdoor sports teacher at the university. He's teaching tree climbing this year. He said, "It shows a new and interesting sports activity and we are trying to develop (发展) students' skills (技能) for their future jobs and their life. Now climbing has become an independent (独立的) industry that has created some new kinds of jobs."
Some people worry about the students' safety, some care about the trees, and some are for the subject. In fact, the students are safe because the teachers are ready to help them any time. The trees are safe as well. In our daily lives, sometimes we really need such people who are good at climbing, for example, catching a ball in a tree. Keep on climbing every day! We hope more students will choose it!
