今天天气很好,海边很多人。我想去学冲浪。你会说‘我想学冲浪’吗?这是一种非常有趣的水上运动。穿上泳衣,带上冲浪板,我们一起去海边吧!听完这集,你就能用中文表达你想学冲浪的愿望,并了解一些海边活动。

今天天气很好,我来到了海边。这是我第一次来冲浪学校。这里有很多彩色的冲浪板。我的冲浪教练走过来,他很高,很友好。他问我:“你想学冲浪吗?”我说:“是的,我想学冲浪!”他给我一个冲浪板。教练说:“别担心,我们先在沙滩上试一试。”我躺在板上,他教我怎么站起来。‘一,二,三,站起来!’他慢慢地教。我试了两次,都摔倒了。但是我觉得很有趣,一点也不难。我期待着真正去海里冲浪。

Let's take a moment to look at some useful words from that story.

  • 站起来 — to stand up, 他教我怎么站起来。
  • 摔倒 — to fall down, 我试了两次,都摔倒了。, 现在,我们回到海边,看看冲浪怎么样了。

教练说:“我们现在去海里。”我抱着冲浪板,走到水边。海水有点凉,很舒服。教练指着远处的浪说:“看,浪来了!”我躺在冲浪板上,等到一个大浪。教练喊:“起来!起来!”我努力站起来。这一次,我没有摔倒!我站在冲浪板上,冲了一小段。哇,太棒了!我成功了!教练也为我鼓掌。冲浪真的很有趣,我很开心。运动以后,中国人喜欢喝点东西。所以我们去买了冰水。今天,我学到了新的运动,也看到了很美的海。真是一个完美的下午!
