### sense in the lessons

In everyday life and sports, children go ice skating at a rink in winter; safety: wear gloves (blades are sharp), a helmet for beginners, and learn how to fall and get up. In science, the ice on a rink is kept frozen by cold pipes beneath it, and its surface is smooth so there is little friction. Phrases: «ice rink», «skating rink», «roller rink».
