It may sound strange but I started roller skating when I was relatively old. A friend of mine gave me a pair of roller skates for my EIGHTEENTH birthday. He said that he WOULD TEACH me some basic skating skills the next Saturday but disappeared for weeks. At first, I wanted to give the skates to someone else but I COULDN'T think of anybody who met both requirements – to be keen on roller skating and to have the same size feet as mine. So, I put the skates on the shelf in the pantry and FORGOT about them. “What are these?” my mum asked. She saw the skates when she WAS TIDYING up the pantry, “Why do you never go skating?” “I WOULD GO skating if I could skate. But unfortunately I can’t,” I said. “And it’s better to learn to skate in childhood, isn’t it?” “Right,” Mum nodded, “But you have no choice. You’ll never be any YOUNGER than you are now.” That sounded like a good reason to start something new. I put the skates in my rucksack and headed to the park. There WERE lots of skaters in the park. Most of THEM moved gracefully and effortlessly. Some looked really clumsy.
