1 . People are busy working every day, so they don’t have enough time to do exercises. As a result, many people become too fat. To keep our bodies healthy, we have to do exercises every day.
These are many kinds of exercises. Bending (弯腰) and stretching (伸展) helps us move easily. Before we play ball games or swim, it is better for us to do bending and stretching exercises first. This kind of exercise is sometimes called warm-up exercise. Running is also a good exercise. If we can not run fast, we can jog. Jogging means running slowly. Again, before we run or jog, we must do warm-up exercises. Also, we should not run or jog in busy streets. The air is often dirty. Some people like weightlifting (举重) because it can make their bodies strong, we also need to do some warm-up exercises before weightlifting.

Never accept an invitation unless you really plan to go. You may refuse by saying, “Thank you for inviting me, but I may not be able to come.” If you are unable to come after accepting the invitation, be sure to tell those who invite you in advance (提前) that you will not be there.
When you have accepted the invitation to a party or a dinner, it is polite to bring small gifts with you, such as bottles of drink, flowers and chocolate.

Some kids could keep a little money to go to the movies. Then, a child’s ticket cost ten cents (美分). Snow White was one movie kids liked. It was the first cartoon movie ever made.

One of the most dangerous and important jobs in the zoo is working as trainers. Animal trainers need to understand how animals eat, sleep and move. Trainers teach zoo workers the safest way to feed the animals. When zoo animals get sick, trainers help the zoo doctor take care of the animals.
