"I first started playing it four years ago when I was 10 years old. My father, my brother and sister all curl
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. "

thought it was funny when I started curling. Then they tried it and now they play it, too. "
