19)  Making a Kite

One day, Paula and Richard decided to make a kite. First they went out and found two straight sticks of the same length. They brought them back home and tied them with a piece of string into the shape of a cross. Then they took some string and used it to tie the four ends of the sticks together. Then, they spread some brightly coloured paper over the frame and glued it around the string. They stuck a tail made of paper to one of the corners, and tied a long string to the centre of the kite. On the next windy day, they took the kite to a hill near their house and flew it.

做一个风筝
一天, 保罗和理查德决定做一个风筝。首先, 他们出门找了两根一样长的直木棍。他们把木棍带回家, 用一根绳子把它们绑成十字形。然后他们又拿了些绳子, 把木棍的四个顶端连在一起。然后, 他们把一些颜色鲜艳的纸涂上胶水, 粘在风筝的框架上。他们将纸做的尾巴粘在一角, 在风筝中间系上一根长绳。在接下来的一个有风的日子里, 他们就在家附近的小山上放风筝了。
