He goes to the swimming club three times a month in winter and three times a week in summer. So he’s pretty healthy. Some of my classmates have good eating habits. They eat both meat and vegetables. 70% of them drink milk every day. 15 students say they drink milk three or four times a week. But some students like to eat junk food, especially Sally. What’s worse (更糟糕的是), she doesn’t like to exercise, so she is very fat. She always says, “I’m going to lose weight tomorrow.”

Not all the people like to work but everyone likes to play. People often call their friends together to play games. All over the world, men and women, boys and girls enjoy sports.

Sports can help people to live happily. They can also help people to keep healthy. When people are playing games, they always move a lot. It is good for their health. Having fun with their friends often makes them happy.

Many people enjoy sports by watching others playing. It can also make them happy and excited. Many people buy tickets to watch all kinds of games, but more people like to watch sports games on TV.

What’s your favorite sport? When the weather is hot, do you like swimming? In China, there are beautiful beaches, rivers and lakes across the country. The weather is always so good for swimming. Enjoy your sports to keep healthy, my friends!
