Original:

the skateboarding is a funning and exciting sport，escapially to the children，but the activty on the skate is very dangrous，it is very dangrous when a person ride the skate in the road，there are many cars on the road，and the tracffic is crownd.

Last week Tony is my teacher and he give me homework on children skateboarding. We were talked about the skating safety and it’s traffic ____. I think the skateboarding is funny and exciting however there are some potential dangerous if people ride the skate on the road. Especially in the crowd road because there are many cars and motobikes and many other traffic. If you speed is too high it very difficult to control yourself it will hit with the other people.

Maybe in the park or some place which is especially to the skateboarding because there are cars no other reasons… this place only for skateboarding, not for other sports. It is more safe/safer than on the streets. But Tony think ride skate is more safe than ride bike because he think if a person will hit with other car or person the rider can jump quickly. But if you on the bike, maybe you can’t jump too quickly, you need through the bike, maybe you can’t give a feedback quickly.

Skateboarding is a fun and exciting sport，especially for children, but it can also be very dangerous when done on a crowded road. Last week Tony was my teacher and he gave me homework on children skateboarding. We were talking about skating safety and how it is a form of transportation. I think skateboarding is fun and exciting however there are some potential dangers  if people ride on the road. If your speed is too high, it very difficult to control your board, so you might hit other people.

Maybe it would be safer to do it in a  park or some other place which is especially built for skateboarding and where there are no cars. But Tony thinks that riding a skateboard is safer than riding a bike, because a skateboarder can quickly jump off his board  in case he thinks he might hit a car or person, which cannot be done if he’s on a bicycle.
