童年的回忆 (Childhood memories)

现在的小孩真的命长的好，所玩的滑梯就像第一张照片里的新式滑梯；不知道他们有没有见过像照片里的旧式滑梯吗？

历史上的第一座滑梯，是在一九九二年位于英国诺咸顿郡(Kettering, Northamptonshire)的域时田公园(Wicksteed Park) 由域时田(Charles Wicksteed)所制造的 ，当年的 物质并不丰富，所以只是用木板制成的。

滑梯由攀登、平台以及下滑三段所组成的。现代一般上是采用金属或则塑胶制成，最主要是为了确保滑板的表面光滑。

滑梯是属于综合型运动器械，儿童只有通过攀爬才能进行滑梯活动。当他们攀登上了平台，然后坐下，双脚放平和伸直，沿着滑板下滑。这个运动可以培养他们坚定的意志 和信心，也可以培养他们勇敢的精神。当他们“嗖”一声滑下去的时候，他们能享受到成功的喜悦。

我很感谢我的父母在我们六个兄弟姐妹还小的时候带我们去玩。当年的玩意儿可没有现代的那么高科技，那么 的时代感，所玩的都是和 天然的有关。像去植物园、湖边戏水、自备野餐、海滩等等的。反观现代的父母，多数都带到去的游乐场、电动场、游泳池、血拼、麦记等等。

爸、妈，谢谢你们给了我们很多美好的童年回忆。。。

Nowadays, our children live in very good and prosperity environment. Look at the slides as per first photo attached; the slides that they play are made by plastic. I wonder that they ever seen such a slides that shown in second photo.

The first slide was invented by Charles Wicksteed in year 1922 and it’s made of wooden plank. It was installed in Wicksteed Park in Kettering, Northamptonshire, UK.

Slides are divided into 3 sections, which are Climbs to the top of the slide by stairs or ladder, sit down on the platform and slides down the slide. A modern slide usually constructed of metal or plastic and the most important is they have a smooth surface.

To play slides, children must climbs to the top of the slide via stairs to reach the platform, then sit down and “Slides” down the slide. This activity can train them to be firm and confidence, when they “Slides” down, they can enjoy the joyful.

I am very grateful and thanks to my parents, they always took six of us venture around with natural and giving us a lot of unforgettable childhood memories…

Mom, dad, thanks a lot!!!
