• What is it? // How would you learn it? // What equipment would you need to play the sport? // Explain why you want to try this sport? 

1. I would like to try ice skating. It is a sport which I have never played. 

2. I would learn it from professional trainers in the rink and from my elder brother.

3. I would need a pair of ice skates to try this sport.

4. I want to try this because I have always found it very thrilling and fascinating. 

I am not fond of sports and books. I prefer dance or other activities. I have always been curious to try ice skating. It has fascinating me since childhood. When I watch it on TV, I feel like doing it. I will learn this sport with the help of my elder brother and available trainers. I will take ice-skates on rent from the rink where I will learn it. After I attain some expertise and comfort in the sport, I will buy a pair of ice takes. I like the way people enjoy their ice skating. Though, I have been a spectator of ice hockey matches and races and fancy dress shows but I have been too scared to step on a rink and skate. I am mesmerized by the way the people perform tange a form of couple dance. The temperature is too low and people are heavily clothed and colourful accessories enjoying skating and also some hot beverages to keep their bodies warm. I may fall several times during the learning process but it will be fun. Moon light skating is a form of ice skating during which are lights are switched off on a full moon nights and people skate in the light of the moon. I am planning to join ice skating classes as soon as I can.
