Lake Baikal (贝加尔湖) is the largest, deepest freshwater lake in the world.Every winter when the lake freezes over (冻结) for half the year, 80 -year- old Lyubov skates across the ice wherever she needs to go.
Lyubov has been using the ice to travel around her home for her whole life.As a child, she skated about 2.5 miles each way to school and back.She once fell through the ice and was luckily saved by her classmates.
Lyubov lives alone now in a small house on the bank of Lake Baikal.Her children and five grandchildren don't often visit her because they live five hours away by car.She has to look on a group of dogs, cows and chickens as her friends.Luckily, she has the ice to help her feel free!"For me, ice means being able to go everywhere," the grandmother said.
Every day, she skates half an hour to other villages to do her shopping.With temperatures often reaching -40 ℃ , it' s hard for an old woman to live a normal life.But Lyubov says that her everyday skating enables her to live a long and energetic life. " People keep telling me 1 should slow down, but I just can't , " she said with a smile." I don't have time to be bored; there' s too much work to do."
