Describe a sport that you have recently learnt for the first time.

　　You should say:

　　what the sport was

　　who you learnt it from

　　how you learnt it

　　and explain how you felt about it.

　　My uncle recently took me out to fly kites. I would not usually consider this is a sport, but it is so important to him that there seems to be more to it than I understood at first. After spending a few weekends flying kites with my uncle and his friends, I caught a glimpse of what it is that attracts people. 中文：最近我叔叔带我去放风筝。我原来不觉得放风筝算一项运动，但是他改变了我的这个看法。和叔叔以及他的朋友们放了几星期的风筝之后，我明白了为什么它如此吸引人。

　　My uncle told me to buy a kite from the shop to practice with, but I forgot until the last minute. This didn’t matter, though. We were able to buy one on the way into the park from a vendor at the front gate. 中文：叔叔让我去商店买来风筝练习，我一直忘了买。不过我们在去公园的路上的小摊上买了一个。

　　Inside the park there were dozens of people flying kites on the windy afternoon, mostly middle aged and older men. My uncle and I went to a less populated area and he began showing me how to get the kite off the ground. Of course, I had done this as a child. But as an adult, I realized that it is both easier to get off the ground than it was before, and also, there is much more to do than just catch the wind. But my kite sailed up, and crashed down, numerous times before I got the hang of it. 中文：在一个有风的下午,公园里有许多人放风筝，以中老年人为主。我和我的叔叔找了个人少的地方，他开始教我如何放风筝。当然，我小时候放过风筝。但作为一个成年人，我发现把风筝放起来变容易了，不仅仅是顺着风放。但我的风筝不受控地掉下来好几次。

　　Then, my uncle pulled out his gear. He had a large kite with a long tail. The kite string was attached to a massive reel that he strapped to his chest. He simply caught the wind and released the kite into the sky. There it stayed for the rest of the afternoon, avoiding other kite lines and zipped side to side, tracing a pattern with its long tail. Finally, as dusk settled, my uncle’s kite began to light up the night. I knew that its illuminated tail and shining strings were visible all across the city. Even though half the time was just spent chatting with other kite flyers, I could see that this was an achievement. 中文：然后我叔叔掏出转轮。他有一个尾很长的大风筝。风筝线缠着卷起来放在他的胸口，他只是抓住了风一抛就把它放了起来。它在天上飘来飘去了一下午，躲着其他风筝线的长尾巴留下了一道轨迹。当暮色降临，叔叔的风筝开始点亮夜空。风筝的长尾巴是可以点亮的，穿过城市的夜色清晰可见。虽然我有一半的时间都是在和其他放风筝的人闲聊，还是觉得有成就感。
