Fun in the snow

What can you do if you like the feeling of sliding down a snowy hill, but you don't know how to snowboard or ski?

For people who feel this way, tubing is a great way to have fun. The only thing you need is a tube, or inner tube, to ride on. You put the tube on the snow, sit down inside of it, push off and go!

Because snow is so slippery, it's really easy to go fast without a lot of effort.

Most inner tubes used for tubing in the snow have handles that you can hang on to. Usually, the hole in the tube does not go all the way through -- that would make your bottom very cold!

The words of the day

inner tube n.

內胎 (nei4 tai1)

effort n.

努力 (nu3 li4)

I'm willing to help you study, but only if you make a good effort to learn.

你要認真學習我才願意幫你。
