David is in his school curling(冰壶运动) team in Scotland. He also plays for two clubs. Let's listen to his story and learn more about curling.
"I started playing when I was 10 years old. My father, my brother and my sister all played and I would go and watch them play. I enjoy curling because I like the feeling of playing on real ice. I also like it because it is mentally challenging(智力挑战). In the play, you have to think about how to achieve your goal and how to beat the other team. "
"Sweeping(清扫冰道) 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. "
"Games can go on for three or four hours and I play about three times a week. Some of my friends thought it was funny when I started playing. Then they tried and now they play, too. "
"Curling has been an event of the Winter Olympic Games since 1998. I would like to play at the Winter Olympics in the future. I would surely recommend(推荐) curling to everyone, because it's different from other sports. "
