Today after school, we went to the skate park, and I skated for a long time. And today, I figured out something new: if I crouch down a little and then push off, I can pick up way more speed as I go. So I paddled fast, fast, fast, crouched low, popped back up — and zoomed right past, almost making it up the little hill on my first try!
I got so excited that I called out to my mom, “Watch me try this!” So she watched. This time, as I zoomed toward the little hill, I added one extra push for extra speed and did the exact same move. Up I went, with just enough energy left to spin at the top. I stayed calm, told my mom what I was going to do next — and then I surprised even myself.
It was the first time I ever made it up the big hill! Going up the big hill is really hard — I’d never done it before — but today, I finally did it. What a moment!
After that, we went to a charging station, where I got some salt and vinegar chips. We also got chicken wings, which my mom ordered even though I told her not to. Well, guess what happened — she ate too many and got a tummy ache, and so did Henry. But not me. I think I’m just built different! After all that, we went to sleep. What a great day.
今天放学后,我们去了滑板场,我滑了好长时间。而且今天,我琢磨出了一个新窍门:只要蹲低一点、再用力蹬出去,滑起来就能提到快得多的速度。于是我快快快地连着蹬,压低身子,再猛地站起——嗖的一下就冲了过去,第一次试就差点冲上那个小坡!
我兴奋极了,冲我妈喊:“看我来试这个!“她就看着。这一次,当我朝着小坡冲过去时,我多蹬了一下、加了一份额外的速度,然后做了一模一样的动作。我一下就上去了,冲上去时还剩下刚好够转个圈的劲儿。我稳住自己,跟我妈说了我接下来要干嘛——然后,我连自己都惊到了。
这是我有史以来第一次冲上了大坡!上大坡真的特别难——我以前从来没成功过——但今天,我终于做到了。多么棒的时刻!
之后,我们去了充电站,我买了包盐醋味薯片。我们还买了鸡翅,是我妈点的,尽管我劝过她别点。结果你猜怎么着——她吃多了,肚子不舒服,Henry 也一样。但我一点事都没有。我觉得我就是体质不一样(built different)!折腾完这一切,我们就去睡觉了。多棒的一天啊。
