There is a lake in our city. In winter, it becomes a popular outdoor skating area and many people go there. One day, Dad went past the lake and watched people skate. He1how people could skate on the ice so easily.
He 2 skated by himself. He thought that he was too old and might3and get hurt. But that New Year's Day, Dad took the whole family to the lake. We helped him wear his skates. I showed him 4to stand on the ice. Dad learned like a student, 5 listening to me.
Watching him walk like a two-year-old child, I was happy and6.
We had a7day on the lake, having fun watching Dad skate. At the end of the day, he could skate, but mostly on his left foot. He pushed himself forward with his right foot.
From that day on, Dad went skating more often. At the very start, he could only8on one foot. After a few weeks, he had become a great skater. Now, we spend a lot of9skating on the lake together. It's a fun memory for our family. We will10 it forever.
I learnt a lot from my father: When we have a problem, we shouldn't give up easily.
