【Aiden in English】

        Today, I discovered a whole new level of Chinese Yo-Yo at the Guanghua Chinese School (GHCS) Summer Camp. Previously, I was focused on spinning it only. But now, I am able to toss and catch it. As much as you learn how to manage to lift and drop motion with two sticks, you'll make great progress and enjoy playing it over and over again. Some kids didn't even know how to spin Yo-Yo this morning. Next thing you know, they're spinning them as if they've been spinning Yo-Yo all their life.

        Yo-Yo also has many fun games. Other than How Long you can spin it, there are: How Fast can it go in 10 seconds; How High can you Toss It and successfully Catch It (not recommended on hard surfaces)?

        There're many skills to do with Yo-Yo and a lot more than what you think. So why not give it a try? You never know.

        今天在宾州光华中文学校夏令营里，我发现了抖空竹全新套路。先前我把注意力全部放在空竹旋转上，现在不仅能扔空竹，还可接空竹。一旦把握用两根棍棒上抛下挑动作，抖空竹的水平会大大提高，玩兴也将随之进一步增长。有的小伙伴早上还对它毫无感觉，可转眼之间，他们一下子就能上手，好像从小到大从未间断过抖空竹。

        抖空竹也有很多好玩的游戏，除了较量旋转时间长短之外，还有在十秒钟内旋转速度如何﹖上抛高度以及接住空竹的成功率﹖(最好不要在硬地上练习。)

        抖空竹需要很多技巧，比你想像得多，因此不妨亲自实践，否则你对它一无所知。
