Ice Skating

最近安娜一直说想要滑冰，今天终于可以成行。安娜是第一次滑冰，表现是相当不错。姐姐一直教她，先教摔跤以后站起来，安娜很快就学会了，后来又教她在冰上走，到离开冰场前，安娜已经能走好多步了。为了鼓励安娜，姐姐去给她买了一块小蛋糕，安娜吃得很美, 说下回还要来滑冰。 Anna has been asking to go ice skating lately and we were finally able to go today. Leah was teaching Anna the whole time and Anna really did a great job. She could get up by herself after falling and she could walk on the ice by herself by the time we left the ice rink. As a reward, we bought Anna a of cup cake. Anna said that she wants to skate again next week.
