Kitesurfing as a water sport began in the 1980s, but didn't get popular until the end of last century. It is
also known as kiteboarding, and in some European countries as flysurfing. Kitesurfing works through wind
power (動(dòng)力) by using a large kite to pull a rider on the water at high speed.
     At first, kitesurfing was a difficult and dangerous sport. Now it is becoming easier and safer because of
the safer kite design. For an able and strong person, kitesurfing can be a very fun, extremely exciting sport,
just like skating on the water with a feeling of flying. It has become more and more popular.
                                               
     Compared with other water sports, kitesurfing is easier to learn. A beginner can understand how to operate
the kite with 5-10 hours of training. And anybody aged from 13 to 65 can learn. It is not expensive to get the
equipment for kitesurfing, which costs $1,000 to 82,500. Training lessons range from $200 to $500 for two
or three hours.
     With the development of its equipment progress, kitesurfing is becoming even safer. After some training,
you can enjoy its excitement and challenging feeling. With the rising popularity of kitesurfing, most major
seaside cities have kitesurfing clubs. In China, Xiamen is the only place that has the kitesurfing club, which
provides professional kitesurfing training and equipments.

     When Daniel woke up yesterday morning, he found he was a bit late for school, so he started running to
catch the bus. Moments later, he saw a dog, but not its lead. He tripped over the lead and fell down. He
jumped up quickly, went on running and got on the bus. After a while an old coach broke down in the middle
of the road, and the driver couldn't move it. It was eight o'clock, the middle of the rush hour, so it soon
created a terrible traffic jam. The bus driver tried to go round the coach. Unfortunately a taxi was coming in
the opposite direction. The driver tried to stop the taxi, but he couldn't prevent the accident- the taxi crashed
into the front of the bus! Luckily nobody was hurt.
     When Daniel finally got to school out of breath, the Science lesson had been on for five minutes. Daniel
said sorry to the teacher and sat at his desk. He reached out for his school bag- no, it was nowhere to be
found. "Where is my school bag?" Daniel was puzzled. Suddenly he realized that he had left it on the bus.
Bad luck!
