Practicing yoga (瑜伽) is a helpful, popular way to keep fit. It has many followers around the world. There are many kinds of yoga. You may have heard of “hot yoga” before. Now, in India, a new kind of yoga, water yoga, is becoming more and more popular among the local people.
In the city of Agra, people practice yoga in water. It is more difficult to practice yoga in water than on land. But practicing yoga in water can be good for your flexibility (灵活性).
Harish Chaturvedi, a writer, teaches people water yoga for free—even the poor people can learn from him. “Water yoga can become more popular than other kinds of yoga, because the body does not get tired so quickly,” he said. “Everybody can learn to swim, but if they learn yoga at the same time, they will never feel tired.”
“The level of Oxygen (氧气) is very high in water, and you will not have any breathing problem.” he added.
Harish believes that water yoga really helps people to keep away from illness. He mainly trains children. He has classes at the swimming pool of a local sports room regularly. Many children are interested in it and come to learn from him.
“Harish is very good at performing yoga in water.” said Sudhir Narayan, a water yoga student. “He is teaching children free of cost and that is a very good thing.”

3 . Baseball is one of the favourite sports in the USA. Children play baseball in sports field or parks.
At summer picnics, there is often an informal baseball game. Boys and girls, young and old take turns to bat (击球). Each team has 9 players.
The baseball season goes from April to September. During this time, baseball matches are shown on TV and members of the important baseball teams become America’s heroes. At the end of season the two top teams play against each other. Many baseball fans go along to watch the game. Million of others listen to the radio and watch television. After the game, people like to talk about the result of the matches and the players, especially their favourite players.
American football is perhaps the most popular sport in the USA. The football season begins when the baseball season ends. More people are interested in football than baseball when there is an important game. Thousands of people sit beside the radio or in front of the television set to hear the result. If their favourite players behave very well, they will be very excited about the score. If they lose the matches, fans will lose confidence. Maybe they will go to another club to cheer others on.

5 . It's important to learn things about protecting environment. Here's a 4Rs rule for us.
·Reduce
If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely (明智的). A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper carelessly and then throws it away, soon we would not have any trees left. Some other things are also being wasted, and people don't know what to do with waste in big cities, so it's necessary to reduce waste.
·Reuse
You should always think of reusing the usable (可用的) things before throwing them away. Give your clothes or things you don't use to the poor. In a family, you may pass such clothes on to your younger brothers or sisters.
·Recycle
Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so we save lots of time and money, for example, cola cans are sent to a factory, where they're smashed flat(压平)and smelted (熔化), and the metal things are made into new cola cans.
·Repair
If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones, it's better for you to sell the old ones or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair.

In the COVID-19 pandemic(新冠肺炎疫情), people across the world are paying more attention to the health and happiness of each other. Some are trying to send messages of love and care in different ways. In China, an international communication program was started to send support to other countries. It has collected eighty-five letters written by students in Beijing to young people in pandemic-stricken(疫情重创下的) countries. They are full of love and care. These letters were made into a collection of short videos called “A Letter to Friends”. They were shown in the form of sand painting. It is reported that many hospitals abroad refuse all visitors to patients in order to stop the spread of COVID- 19.
