Have you ever thrown an old mobile phone? And do you know that there's a mobile phone throwing competition in Finland every year?This sport has been around since 2000 though the first national championships took place in Norway in 2004.
In order to recycle old mobile phones, the town of Savonlinna in southeast Finland holds a Mobile Phone Throwing Competition every year.
While competitors cannot throw their own phones, the competition organizers provide hundreds of mobiles to choose from. Last year's winner Ere Karjalainen set a world record with his 101.46m throw. As a prize, he got a chance of drinking and practiced again as his preferred training methods.
Those without a strong throwing arm can enter the freestyle competition.A three-person jury (评委) gives scores from one to six, and the thrower with the highest number of points wins.
Once all the day's phones have been thrown, they are taken to a recycling center. They will not be wasted as rubbish. Anyone who offers his phone will have a free chance to take part in the competition while those who don't need to pay eleven dollars per person or five dollars for children of 12 and under.
A. So the organizers encourage people to give away their phones that can't work at all.
B. Then people throw as far as possible from the throwing area.
C. During the competition, the style of the throw are judged (判断) rather than the distance.
D. It may sound crazy to you, but it's actually been developed into a sport.
E. And people can have a little fun from the games.
I am walking through the winter park where the trees stand cold and bare (光秃秃的). The yellow leaves have fallen to the ground. Now, a group of women gather at the sides of a path. In the cold winter, they're moving their arms and legs to a rhythm (节奏). They are, of course, the dancing aunties.
It seems that if you go to any public space around China, you're likely to see these dancing aunties. When I first came to China, it was one of the first things that annoyed me. That's because in Britain dancing in public is not a cultural habit. You won't see any age group swinging their arms and tapping their feet in a park. Usually, they just take a walk for exercise.
Now and again the dancing aunties have hit the headlines (头条新闻). Some people find them annoying. But others respect their right to dance in public. Most of them are middle-aged. They finally have some free time to do whatever they like. There is no more work, and their kids have left.
All in all, I like seeing these women enjoying themselves. They remind us of the importance of exercise as we get older. Besides, most of them have raised the whole families. Now it is their time to have fun and enjoy some peace.
