A short, easy (very) beginner read about a child going ice-skating. The word “ice skating” appears about a bazillion times in the space of these few sentences, so, after reading this, you may expect to recognize the word for the rest of your natural life.
A note: The characters 周井寒 which appear in this essay are a person’s name. The person is referred to twice, first by their given name, 井寒, then by their full name, 周井寒. The person’s relationship to the author isn’t really specified. This clearly isn’t the name of the child’s mother, as 周井寒 is referred to as a “he”.
And here’s the original source

快乐的我
早上,我把作业写好了,妈妈起来了,我对妈妈说: “妈妈,我把作业都做好了。”吃过早饭后,妈妈带我去溜冰。到了溜冰场,我穿好溜冰鞋,开始溜冰了。溜冰的时候,我一不小心摔倒了,井寒把我扶起来了,我连声说: “谢谢你,周井寒。”周井寒摔倒了,我也把他扶起来。
今天,你帮我,我帮你,我们互相帮助,我们真快乐啊!

Hey,
我一不小心摔倒了, means I wasnt careful and fell down. If I would want to say: I wasnt careful about falling down. How would it differ?
