       There are some basic things to know about kite flying that can help you to enjoy the sport more. Here are a few of the most important ones.

       First, if you have ever seen someone flying a kite in a movie, you probably saw him or her get the kite off the ground by running into the wind. However, this is not the way to launch a kite. Most beginners will find a “high start” launch to be the easiest. For a high start launch, have a friend stand about one hundred feet away, facing into the wind. Your friend should face you and hold the kite gently. Place some tension(拉力) on the flying line by pulling gently on the line. With a steady breeze behind you, tug gently on the line, and the kite will rise.

       If your kite begins to dive (俯冲), don’t panic or pull on the line. Dropping the reel (线轴) will cause it to spin out of control, and could cause someone to be hurt. Simply let the line go slack (松弛的). This usually will right the kite in midair.

       For a kite that is pulling hard away from you, have a friend stand behind you and take up the slack line as you bring it in. Hand over hand, pull down the kite. It is very important to have gloves on to do this, or you may burn or cut your hands. It is recommended (建议) that you always wear gloves while flying kites.

       When two kite lines get crossed, pulling may cause enough friction to cut one or both of the lines. Instead of pulling, both fliers should walk towards one another until their lines uncross as they pass.

60. To launch a kite, run into the wind holding the kite behind you.    

61. In a high start launch, a friend stands about one hundred feet away from you holding the kite.

62. If your kite begins to dive from the sky, immediately drop the reel.

63. It is suggested that you always wear gloves when flying a kite.

64. If your kite is pulling hard away from you, you should run after it.

65. If two kite lines get crossed, you should pull them apart.

       There is one language that is used in every country in the world. The people who use it are young and old, short and tall, thin and fat. It is everybody’s second language. It is easy to understand, although you can’t hear it. It is sign language.
