What kinds of sports can people do in winter?
It’s wintertime. Let’s have fun playing ice sports together this month! Curling has two teams of four players in each game. Each person slides two stones across the ice toward a target. It’s a big circle known as the house. Inside the house, you’ll find a smaller circle that’s called the button. That’s what every player aims at!
In the game, the players take turns sliding the stone and sweeping the ice. Sweeping helps the stone slide more smoothly.Sometimes, they shout “Sweep!” loudly if they need the stone to go faster. The team that gets their stone closer to the button earns points!
Curling is really fun! Let’s slide stones, sweep ice, and shout together with friends.
读之前想想看：人们在冬天可以做哪些种类的运动？
冬天到了，这个月我们一起享受冰上运动的乐趣吧！冰壶比赛分为两队，每队有 4名球员。每个人会朝着某个目标将两个石壶滑过冰面，这个目标是一个大圆圈，称为「大本营」，在大本营里面，有一个更小的圆圈，被称为「圆心」，这就是每个冰壶运动员瞄准的目标！
在比赛中，球员们轮流投掷石壶和刷冰，刷冰有助于石壶更顺利地滑行。有时候，如果他们希望石壶更快速地前进，他们会大声喊「刷！」。让石壶滑得更靠近圆心的队伍就能够得分！冰壶真的很有趣！一起和朋友们投掷石壶、刷冰，还有大声呼喊吧。
