Rock climbing was recognized as an elegant, civilized, high-level sports and leisure activities. With the continuous development of social economy,and  people’s living standard rising, the movement is gradually being more accepted and loved by young people.
If you come to China and as a climbing fan, you can not miss Yang shuo, the best place for climbing.The heavily-eroded limestone offers wonderful settings as well as a wide range of hand and foot holds. The sheer variety that is available is enough to tempt any climber here, and many do find it hard to leave again.

There are several rock-climbing operators in town. Standards vary and it is worth getting local advice, especially if you are a total beginner. At least ask about about qualifications and take a look at how the equipment is stored. Ropes are your lifeline, and should be treated with total respect at all times. Walk away if you see these tossed casually on the floor. You should be provided with a helmet, and should wear it, especially at the bottom of the crag where loose bits of stone tend to get knocked down.

Becoming a mountain climbing guide requires a serious amount of training and experience.
1.Climb regularly. Go mountain climbing and skiing as often as you can on many different ranges. The more experience you can garner, the easier it is to take the necessary guide exams.
2.Take a mountaineering course. Some guide services such as Alpine Ascents International lead classes, or take courses the American Mountain Guides Association offers.

3.Receive certification from the American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA) and the International Federation of Mountain Guides Associations by enrolling in courses and passing the necessary exams.

 4.Seek employment with guide services, or become an individual mountain climbing guide. Some may not like the more restricted atmosphere working for a guide service, or the lower pay. It is up to the individual.
5.Read books on teaching. Develop some routines and exercises that you are comfortable with. You’ll need them to work with your clients and to evaluate their skills.

 6.Prepare to spend time with people from many different walks of life. Be patient, supportive and make the client feel a part of the mountain climbing expedition, not simply a person on the end of a rope.

 

Women’s Basketball

My favorite Sports is basketball. It looks so cool in TV that I was crazy about those basketball stars ever since I was little.

Women’s basketball began in 1892 at Smith College when Senda Berenson, a physical education teacher, modified Naismith’s rules for women. Shortly after she was hired at Smith, she went to Naismith to learn more about the game. Fascinated by the new sport and the values it could teach, she organized the first women’s collegiate basketball game on March 21, 1893, when her Smith freshmen and sophomores played against one another. Her rules were first published in 1899 and two years later Berenson became the editor of A.G. Spalding’s first Women’s Basketball Guide, which further spread her version of basketball for women.

Basketball requires speed, height and skills. I run, jump, switch, and try to hit! All parts of my body are exercised in this sport. I feel that I’m like wind flying in the playground for my goal, which makes me feel so great! Basketball needs quick reaction and decision. When chance comes, it may disappear in the next second. I should keep an eye watching as an eagle, decide and judge quickly as a leopard, and run for it as a wolf.

Further more, basketball is a sports more than just exercising, It needs team work. No one can play himself. A team should work together. So I learn to cooperate with others in this game. I should understand what my teammate doing and what he needs me to do for him. On the other side, I should learn to show my teammate what I need. At the same time, I need to keep an eye on the whole game, knowing how is the situation of our team and how is the other team. It involved more cooperation and strategy.

I played basketball more for about 5 years now. I make many good friends through this sports. It is proud to win honor for my team and my school. Also I enjoy all games with my friends. Basketball will be my best friends in the future and my best memory about school life.

Jump rope game is pupular with the young children all over the world. I can remember that when I was child, I played jump rope with my friends happliy. What a nice time it was! When, grown up, I has never played jump rope game again.In fact, Jump rope game is well played by children and the adult.It is not just a game, but also a fitness way.

Chinese Jump Rope found me as a child and once again, through my profession as a physical educator. The game is funny like that, popping up from generation to generation, verbally passed from one to another like a folk tale.

The simple rules test the skill and coordination of all players. An elastic rope is the only equipment needed for play. The game is easily learned and always fun!

Chinese children first played Chinese Jump Rope in the 7th century. Rediscovered by English children in the 1960’s, Chinese Jump Rope remains as popular as ever.

Chinese Jump Rope is no ordinary “rope skipping” game. “Enders” hold an elastic rope while a “jumper” jumps the rope in special ways. The challenge? To jump successfully!

A special version of a jump rope game played with rubber bands connected together to make a long rope is played in many countries. Rubber band jumping was popular in my primary school which was only for girls. I had forgotten how much fun it is to play this game, we had fun in a simple way. You can’t compare our old games in those times with today’s games.

Have A Green Picnic with Your Families

picnic

It must be a pleasure to have a picnic with families in a holiday. Mum and Dad have both taken some time off to enjoy quality time with each other and the children.It’s time to enjoy an informal meal outdoors, as a family, with space for little ones to scamper about without annoying anyone.

Picnics are eco-friendly naturally because they get you, your pals, and your family out into nature. Certainly, before you have a picnic, you must prepare some tools and food for  your picnic. A reusable picnic basket vs. a bag; reusable dishes; and reusable cloth napkins can all be taken along on a picnic. If you can carry your gear to the site, you can carry it back. Don’t take trash out into the woods.

Some useful info that may help you:

  • Assembling ingredients and preparing the food
  • Beverages
  • Blanket
  • Baskets, bags, shopping cart for transporting the meal
  • Plastic or paper plates, cups, cutlery, etc.
  • Extracurricular activities, dog toys, titles for charades, etc.
  • It’s a good idea to involve the children from the onset and let them help with the planning. This does not have to be complicated but, by giving each one their own task, they will take on some responsibility and will therefore enjoy the day more than simply being “taken” on a picnic.

    To be A Happy Farmer

    Tags: , ,

    When working for a long time, we need to do some simple active without using our brain. Why not to be a farmer somtimes? Though it is very hard to be a farmer, you may feel very pleasure when harvest. If you have a garden, it is the best that would be great.

    Choose a weekend, dress an old clothes to grow strawberries.It is the best loved of all summer fruits, their sweet red berries are irresistible to almost everyone. Very quick to produce their fruits, strawberry plants are an excellent crop for the amateur. 

    When to Plant

    Plant strawberries as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring. This is usually in March or April allowing the plants to become well established before the hot weather arrives. Do not work the soil if it is wet. Wait a few days until it dries.

    Planting Depth

    Try to plant strawberries on a cloudy day or during the late afternoon. Set the strawberry plant in the soil so that the soil is just covering the tops of the roots. Do not cover the crown. After four or five weeks, the plants will produce runners and new daughter plants.

    Strawberries are among the most widely grown fruit in the home garden. Strawberries prefer a well drained soil, high in organic matter. They need full sun for the highest yields, at least 6 hours per day.

    During the first growing season, remove flowers of June-bearing strawberries as soon as they appear. Removing the flowers promotes root and runner development thereby insuring a large crop the following year.

    After the first harvest in the second season strawberries should be fertilized after renovation in July.
