And today we are On the Go.
We’re going to be learning about archery.
Yes. Archery.
Now friends, this is a very unique sport to learn about.
It is. And we have some good key words to learn too, so let’s start here with
the first one.
It is...

Now Eddy, what is Today’s Mission?
On the Go! On the Go! On the Go! On the Go!
On the Go! That’s right.
We are On the Go!
OK. The Mission.
It’s a good one.
Here it is.
What do the archers shoot at?
What do the archers shoot at?
Well, let’s all go find out right now.
Gabe! I just read a great book about Robin Hood.
(Chinese).
Daniel, everyone knows about Robin Hood. OK. What did you learn?
I learned that he was a great archer from England.
And you know, I think I would like to know more about archery.
Hey! Sounds like fun.
Uh, so where do we start?
Well, we practice archery.
On the Go!
To be a good archer, a person needs to know how to shoot an arrow from a bow.
The sport is called archery.
Archery started many years ago as a way to hunt.
Today it is a popular Olympic sport.
To be a good archer, a person needs to have strong arms and good breathing.
Practice will help these important things.
So Daniel, are we making our arms stronger by pulling this rubber band.
Yes.
By practicing pulling this rubber band, we are making our arms stronger.
OK. Enough pulling.
Let’s go find so bows and arrows.
OK.
(Music).
Oh!
Ah!
Gabe! Gabe!
I am so sorry.
Ah! Andrea! Help me get the arrow out.
OK, Gabe.
I will help you.
(Background Noise).
There!
The arrow is out.
Oh! I’m OK.
You’re OK.
The arrow didn’t hurt me.
I’m glad.
And we need to teach a lesson.
(Background Noise).
Well, it’s a good thing we have this arrow because arrow is one of our key
words.
Say this with me.
arrow.
arrow.
An arrow is something sharp and it’s used in archery to hit the target.
An arrow.
Yes. An arrow can be made out of wood or metal.
It’s very long and thin with a point at the end.
You use a bow, B-O-W, to shoot the arrow.
That’s right.
Andrea, you say you shoot the arrow.
This is what you do.
If you want to use this word arrow, say: I shoot the arrow or I shot the arrow
somewhere.
You shoot the arrow.
Our On the Go is about archery.
Archery is an Olympic sport.
You can watch it or do it in the Olympics.
And that’s our next key word.
Olympics.
Olympics.
Good job.
The Olympics happen once every four years,
and this is when the best players from all over the world come and play sports
together.
The Olympics.
We can call it the Olympics.
Sometimes we say the Olympic Games.
And if you’re describing something at the Olympics, you can say it is an Olympic
sport or an Olympic event.
Good point.
Now we have another key word.
The word:
pull.
Say it with me again.
pull.
Good job.
When you pull something, you bring it to you.
You pull.
Right now I am pulling the string of this bow.
Close to me, Gabe.
What do I do?
Be careful.
You have to let go.
That way, you can shoot the arrow.
But you have no arrow.
I don’t have an arrow.
No.
Where’s the arrow?
The arrow is right here.
OK. Let me shoot again, Gabe.
You can pull the bow and shoot the arrow.
Uh, but Andrea, be careful.
Let’s go to Thomas first.
(Background Noise).
OK.
All right.
Ready?
No! No!
(Chinese).
Where are we?
We are at the Ming-De Senior High School in Sanshia.
And this school trains many great archers.
Wait.
So these students train to be great archers for fun?
For fun?
Well, some train for fun, and others train for something really big like the
Olympic Games.
Wait. Hold on a second, Daniel.
The Olympic Games?
You have to be really good to go to the Olympics.
Well, let’s go see what they can do then.
Yeah. Let’s go.
There are many kinds of bows.
There are crossbows, compound bows and recurve bows.
Hey! What kind of bows do the professional athletes use?
Well, they can use a compound bow or a recurve bow.
But today we’re going to use a recurve bow.
Archery can be dangerous.
Sometimes the string of the bow can hurt the archer’s skin.
This is why archers wear pads to protect their hands and arms.
OK, Gabe.
We have our strong arms after training.
And we have our safety pads.
OK.
And now let’s see what we can do with our arrows, OK?
Our arrows are not here.
I’m sorry.
Uh, Dan, I... I’ll go get them.
Wait!
No!
This way.
Yeah.
(Background Noise).
(Music).
Now we know that archery is a sport.
And if you do archery, you are an archer.
Now Gabe, I think you are a pretty good archer.
Oh, really?
You think so?
Yeah. You’re... you’re pretty good.
Do you think that you could go to the Olympic Games?
Well Andrea, maybe.
Maybe I could get good enough to go to the Olympics.
Well, you would have to train a lot.
You would have to train every day.
Well, I guess I could train every day.
Then I would be good enough to go to the Olympic Games.
OK. Sounds Good. Well friends, let’s learn this key word.
It is...
train.
train.
Now when you train at something, especially at a sport, you practice very hard
so you get very good.
And you can also train someone else.
That means you are teaching them.
You are letting them go through training.
They are being trained.
You can train them.
That’s true.
And all of the athletes, all of the people who do sports at the Olympics have
trained a long time.
They have trained to be good at their sport.
That’s right.
You can say it takes a lot of training to do something well.
I must be trained well to do something or to go to the Olympics.
That is true.
Well, let’s go to Thomas and learn more.
(Chinese).
Because archery is a shooting sport, archers need to be very careful.
Practicing should be done only at special archery places.
OK, Dan.
Now let’s see if you can shoot arrows like Robin Hood can.
Archery is a sport for slow breathing and focus.
It’s not a fast sport.
The actions of a trained archer should be slow and smooth.
My one hand will hold the bow.
My other hand will hold the arrow to the sting.
Now when the archer is ready to shoot, he slowly pulls back that string.
Good aim helps him hit the target with the arrow.
You see, when Daniel is ready to shoot, he will let go of that string.
Daniel, good job.
But hey, if you really want to be like Robin Hood, you will need to shoot a
little farther.
Archery gets harder as the target gets farther away.
After lots of training, a good archer can hit the center of the target from 70
to 90 meters.
Whoa!
Can you even see the arrow?
I can’t even see it.
You know, archery is a lot harder than it looks.
It is.
But don’t worry, Daniel.
You can call yourself Robin Hood someday.
Well friends, thanks for joining us today at the archery range.
An Olympic sport.
See you next time On the Go!
How did you do that?
Aim and shoot.
Aim and shoot.
Gabe, are you training?
Andrea, if I’m going to go to the Olympics, then I need to train.
I need to become a good archer, so I need to aim and shoot.
Aim and shoot.
Well Gabe, you also need a target.
Well, I guess I need a target.
What’s a good target?
Hmm.
Hey, where’s Eddy?
Right.
Well, OK, friends.
I think we have some key words to learn.
Yes, we do.
Our first one is the word:
aim.
Say it with me.
aim.
When you aim for something, then you want to hit that thing.
You have a goal that you aim for.
We use this word ”aim” a lot in sports.
If you’re playing basketball, you want to get the ball into the basket.
So you aim the ball at the basket.
And if you are a student, you can also aim for a high score, a high goal, high
points on your test.
You aim for a good score.
In archery, you aim for a target.
You want the arrow to hit the target.
That’s a good word.
The word:
target.
target.
In archery, a target is round.
There are many circles inside other circles,
and the very center is the bull’s eye of that target.
Yes. Now some archers do not hit the target.
Maybe they go a little outside, but they can always aim and train and do their
best.
You can do it, Gabe.
I can do it.
And we have found the answer to our Mission.
Our Mission is:
What do the archers shoot at?
What do the archers shoot at?
The archers shoot at a target.
Good.
Well everybody, now it’s time for us to go and listen to what Thomas has to say.
(Chinese).
