Kite-Flying

Kite-flying is an old hobby in England. Many years ago people in London

liked kite-flying. In our days young men and old men, women and children
take their kites to the parks and throw them up into the sky. The kites are of
many colours. Some of them are square and others have three corners. Some
kites are like boxes, some look like balls or flowers. Many people, and

bright ribbons to them. Some people buy their kites in the shops.
In some countries kite-flying is a sport. People have kite-flying competitions.
