*38. 【KET阅读理解】My hobby — skateboarding14-year-old Ellie Briggs talks about skateboardingSkateboarding wasn't popular where I lived when I was younger, which is strange, because there was a good local skateboard shop. But one day, I was walking home from school with my friends, and a boy went past us on his skateboard. I loved the way he moved on the board, and decided to try the sport myself.Of course, I was very bad at skateboarding when I started, but there are many ways to learn. My cousin says he learned from going to the skatepark and seeing what everyone was doing, but it was the videos that skateboarders post on the internet that were most useful for me.Even the best skateboarders fall off their boards. And when you're learning a new jump, you fall off lots of times. What's important, when it happens, is that you don't hurt yourself. That's something other people can show you how to do.I love skateboarding. My parents are happy about me doing it, too, because I spend lots of time outdoors and take part in competitions. The best thing for me is all the friends I have met at the skatepark. I've met some really nice people there.Last week, I saw a man going to work on an electric skateboard. I was interested to know more, so I found some online reviews. People say they're simple to ride and really useful, but I couldn't believe the price. They'll have to get a lot cheaper before I get one!1. How did Ellie become interested in skateboarding?
