Practice falling until it is easy to fall forward and get up again. If you are not afraid to fall, you will try new things. Knowing how to fall will help you be a better skater and find your balance. When you can stay balanced, you won’t fall as much.

　　Step 4: Stop!

　　Make sure you can stop on your skates. The quickest and safest is probably the brake stop. The brake is usually on the back of the right skate.

　　The brake stop:

　　Roll forward with your skates pointing the same way. Let your right skate roll a little forward. Bend your knees as if you are sitting down. Then press your right heel down hard. This will make your brake pad drag on the ground until you stop.

　　The T stop:

　　Roll forward with your skates pointing the same way. Then turn your right foot out so the toes are pointing to your right. Drag your right skate. Let the wheels drag on the ground until you come to a stop.

　　Another way to stop is to run or jump onto the grass.

　　Step 5: Roll around!

　　Find a flat, smooth place to practice. Do not skate in streets. Parks and playgrounds are good places to practice. Look for “No skating” signs to make sure you can skate there.

　　64. According to the article, which of these steps are most important for a new skater?

　　A. Learn to fall and stop safely.
