So, it was ice skating. I wanted to learn ice skating in the first class, and my dad wanted me to be a really good ice skater. Because of this, I decided to pursue it. I thought it would be easy because I saw some professional ice skaters, and they made it look effortless. However, it was not really easy. For about three months, I was just learning to skate on ice, and it was really difficult. My legs didn't listen to me; they did what they wanted. It was challenging to control them, and I needed to learn some techniques to avoid falling and to skate beautifully. I spent three months just learning to skate. But after that, once I learned to skate normally, it became easier to do some exercises on the ice. Then it was really easy because I was learning some basic things. After mastering these basics, the more advanced techniques became much easier for me. Because of this, I became a proficient ice skater. I'm really glad, thanks to my dad, that I learned this skill.
