Then my friend teaches me to hold my breath underwater. Finally, I succeeded. Now realizing that having sports are beneficial to my health, I develop a strong taste for swimming, which becomes part of my life.

Flying a kite is one of the Chinese traditional activity but I didn't experience it until last weekend. It was beautiful Sunday. My little brother begged me to fly a kite with him. We bought a kite shaping like an eagle and went to the Times Square, which many people were flying their kites happily. Saw the lively scene,we couldn't wait to join them. After some attempts, therefore, I found flying a kite wasn't as easily as imagined. About half an hour later, the kite flies into the sky slowly. My brother watched to it jumping and cheering. I was pride that I had made it.
