One night at the beginning of the summer vacation, my mother smiled and took out a pair of roller skates from behind after work. This is my dream gift! I was pleasantly surprised to put on these shiny golden shoes and various protective ornaments, and couldn't wait to pull my mother out of the door.
I put on roller skates like walking on stilts. When I went down the stairs, I almost slipped, although I clung to the handrail tightly and was extremely careful. Fortunately, my mother caught me in time. I wanted to go by myself, but my feet didn't listen to me at all, so I finally had to let my mother carry me downstairs.
After many hardships, my mother and I finally came to the park. There are many children wearing roller skates. They chase each other and dance like a flock of frolicking swallows. I really want to be one of them, so I made up my mind to learn from scratch.
To learn roller skating, you must first learn to stand. But the pulley on the sole is aligned with me, which makes me untenable every time, and my body wobbles like a small tree swaying in the wind. My ass fell on the hard floor again and again, which made me complain. Finally, by observing the child's posture, I summed up the experience from many failures: to stand firm, first, lean forward; Second, the feet are abduction and the center of gravity moves down.
Learn to stand, the second step is to learn to be still. I am like an old lady, hunched over, following the beat that my mother shouted: "One two one, one two one ..." I kept lifting my feet left and right. After a while, my legs seemed to be filled with lead, and my neck was so sour that I felt uncomfortable all over. Although I am very tired, I insist on studying.
Ok, it's time to learn the last link-gliding. Seeing that all the children of the same age around me were skating very fast, I also tried to take the first step: my left foot was lifted and slipped to the left, and my right foot didn't come and keep up, resulting in a big split. People who don't know think I'm practicing dancing! Not convinced, I got up and started all over again, but this time my center of gravity was too high and I fell face down. It's "easier said than done"! After "close contact with the floor" again and again, I became a big deflated ball and sat down on the stone bench in frustration.
My mother saw it and came to comfort me and said, "Don't worry, changchang. Have a rest and drink some water. By the way, look at other people's movements and see how they skate. " I nodded while drinking water and observed carefully. "What did you observe?" After a while, my mother asked me. "Mom, when they slide, the center of gravity of their bodies is on the sliding feet, alternating left and right, and their arms keep leaning forward with their bodies swinging." "Then try again, I believe you, you can do it!" My mother encouraged me to say.
I stood up again. My mother helped me skate first this time. I silently thought about the essentials of gliding and slowly slipped out. You can slide a few steps before you know it. My mother told me to relax. Don't be afraid. I actually skated more smoothly according to my mother's instructions. I don't know when my mother has let go. I can skate independently. The wind is singing a happy song in my ear, and the trees on the roadside are falling backwards quickly. I also became a flying swallow. It feels good to fly. ...
That summer vacation, I went to the park to practice roller skating every night. Roller skating brought me a lot of happiness.
Learning roller skating makes me understand that a failure doesn't mean anything, as long as you can never give up and continue to stand up, it is success! Whatever you do, you must get up when you fall. There are still many things to learn on the way to growth. As long as we dare to face failure, everything will succeed!
