I was so touched to see a young Chinese couple and their daughter were learning to skate on Dows' Lake area yesterday afternoon. Seems to me that there might be some shortcuts for the couple to take: They pushed a loaded chair to walk along; their daughter seems doing fine.
Should not they get rid of the chair and try to walk on the ice with sb else'help, walk alone slowly, then walk alone a lit faster, and then try to skate eventually?
