FUN IN THE SUN

Are you looking for a new sport? Do you want to try something more exciting? Why not try zorbing? It’s new and it’s different!

Zorbing is a fun outdoor sport. It’s popular in many countries.

You need a large plastic ball. This is called a zorb. You get inside the ball and run or walk. When you move, the ball moves, too! You know where you’re going and how you’re moving because you can see through (透过) the ball. Lots of people love going down a hill in their zorb. It’s exciting!

Yes, it is, but always do it in a zorbing center and follow the rules. Have fun, but be careful-don’t get hurt!

To go zorbing, you usually need to be six years old or older.

There are zorbing centers in many places on the South Island. Click (点击) here to find your favorite place.

Yes, it’s more expensive than other sports, but it’s a great activity for special days.

So, are you ready for zorbing? Come and have fun!

I was at a restaurant eating my dinner. And there was a father     1     (sit) with his two young girls. The girls were asking about everything and anything. I was     2     (interest) in their endless questions.

One of the     3     (girl) looked at me and asked her father, “Daddy,     4     is she wearing that?” As a foreigner in this country, I still     5     (wear) my national dress every day, so I often heard people talk about me.

Her father said something that made my heart so warm. He said, “There are different countries, cultures and languages     6     the world. We all have to learn about them.” He then shared a     7     (person) experience with his daughter. He said, “You know what, girls? I lived abroad and learned     8     (speak) Spanish many years ago. I really learned a lot. When you grow up, you must go to visit different countries. That     9     (be) amazing!”

This is how parents should teach their children love, acceptance, understanding and respect. It starts from     10     early age. Children copy the way their parents talk and do thing. They are their role models.
