"Sailing" will weather the storms with you.

   At 8:00 AM on July 12th, the "Sailing" social practice team began their first lesson of the day—physical education. The team members, filled with excitement, led the students to the playground, hoping to teach them shuttlecock kicking and long rope skipping. Unfortunately, the weather turned against them; just as they finished their warm-up exercises, a heavy rain began. Under the guidance of the team members, the students entered the classroom in an orderly fashion. Their original plans were disrupted, and they felt a little lost, unsure of what to do next. However, this awkward situation was quickly resolved. Even outdoors, the team members managed to make the students feel that physical education was enjoyable. For the remainder of the lesson, the team members played songs for them to sing, and had them play a game, pass the shuttlecock, and perform, such as self-introductions and reciting poems. Laughter filled the classroom.

  These students, living in a small village, told us that they had never kicked a shuttlecock before and didn't know how. The "Sailing" social practice team members felt that their school had the resource of shuttlecocks, but no one had ever taught them how to kick them. The team members hoped that this trip to the countryside would allow the students to learn more interesting things, discover new experiences, and have a different perspective. Interest is the best teacher, and the team members wanted to guide them as best they could.
  Although the rain disrupted their plans, they believed there would always be a way. Through this lesson, the team members understood the importance of thorough preparation for future classes. Seeing the students having fun in class was already a great joy for the team members.
