At the meeting, we talked about outdoor activities. 
        There are a lot of outdoor activities, such as camping, cycling, horse-riding and skating. Among them, 
I like flying kites best because kite-flying can make me feel happy and relaxed. At weekends, I often fly kites 
with my friends in the park. 
        Kites have a long history in China. The Chinese began to make kites over 2,000 years ago. Mozi made 
the first kite in history. He made a bird out of wood. Lu Ban used bamboo to make kites. Later, Cai Lun found 
a new way to make paper. After that, people began to make kites out of paper. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, 
kite-flying became a very popular outdoor activity. 
        Now more and more people like flying kites, so kite-flying is one of the most popular outdoor activities.
