Ice skating

With the temperatures falling, you're most likely searching for an activity for the entire family. Ice skating is a terrific way to get much-needed exercise in the winter when it's too cold to play outside. Whether you're an adult skating after a long absense or lacing up skates on your children for the first time, there are ways you can avoid injury on the ice. When it's your first time skating, you should choose figure skates over hockey skates. The blades on figure skates are longer and provide more stability.

The best day that happened in school was when the whole 8th grade went ice skating. This was the first trip that we were going to have for the 8th grade year.

When we arrived to the place, they took us upstairs so we…

On the last day of school before the Christmas holidays, Percival was taking his class down to the local outdoor rink for an afternoon of ice skating. A gang of fifteen eight-year-olds was a little much for Percival to handle on his own but fortunately Gwaine wasn't scheduled for a shift at the fire station that day, so he'd volunteered to help…

Ice skating is a recreational activity that can also be a part of high level Olympic competition. It seems natural when watching someone on the ice gliding so effortlessly, but why is this possible?

Looking at the properties of states of matter, properties of water, and experiments of water and ice, there is…

when I started ice skating. I was at a party for my younger sister's friend at an ice ring. Everyone at the party had all eaten and sung already. We were all ready to go on the ice.

Trembling, I slowly got onto the ice holding the walls. It was different from walking,it was like slowing gliding along. I held onto the wall moving endlessly in…

even formed a chess club because I enjoy playing it and wanted others to try it out, but to wrap up this story, I was delighted when my parents told me they were proud of me, because I did my best at something I love and the results showed. I believe the George tries to persuade parents to stop praising their children when they just are not good at whatever they are doing. Such as when I didn’t excel at things, my parents always praised me. I enjoyed it but I just knew when I did something it…
