Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms. Here, people are learning on climbing. The climbing wall goes straight up and small holding places for hands and feet.

Sometimes it’s easy to see the new piece of metal. Sometimes, it’s not. The most difficult is your fear. It’s normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so it’s difficult not to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall, and the ropes hold you, and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top.

And my teachers often tell us that it's bad for us to surf the Internet every day.
Therefore， Follow the doctor's advice and don't worry，and you will be well soon.
Best wishes
