Definition: To move along a surface (ice or ground) using skates.
Alright class, settle down and listen close to me, Let’s talk about ‘skating,’ for all the world to see! The dictionary tells us, plain and true, It's moving on a surface – shiny or new! Whether it’s ice, so cold and bright, Or ground that’s firm with all its might. And you use something special, don’t you know? Skates to help your feet go to and fro! So ‘skating’ means gliding, swift and free, A joyful movement for you and me! Does that make sense? Any questions, my dear friends?
