36.David is in his school curling(冰壺運(yùn)動(dòng)) team in Scotland. He also plays for two clubs. Let's listen to his stories and learn more about curling. "I first started playing four years ago when I was ten years old. My father, my brother and my sister all like curling and I often go and watch them play. I enjoy curling because I like the feeling of playing on real ice and it is mentally challenging(挑戰(zhàn)性的). In the play, you have to think how to achieve your goal and how to beat the other team." "Sweeping is probably the most difficult part of the game. It is very important because this decides the speed of the stone and keeps it straight." "The game can last three or four hours and I play about three times a week. Some of my friends thought it was funny when I started curling. Then they tried it and now they play it, too." "Curling has been a Winter Olympic game since 1998. I would like to play at the Winter Olympics in the future. I would surely recommend(推薦) curling to everyone, because it's different from other sports."
