At the age of ten , my father taught me to skate . The first time I stand on the ice ,I was too nervous to walk on the ice . It was my father who helped me and showed me how to skate. After a while ,I could walk for a short distance. So I was very excited. The following two weeks ,my father always helped me to learn to skate and I made great progress. A few days later I could skate by myself . I was so happy and confident . Now I should be thankful to my father . At the age of ten , my father taught me to skate .
