During last year’s Spring Festival, I organized a badminton match for my large family. I came up this idea because we tended to overeating and failed to do enough exercise during this period these years. “My proposal won support from my uncles, aunts, several cousins or especially my grandparents.” When asking by my father why I chose this sport, I said almost everyone could play the badminton. The match, what lasted for the whole afternoon, ends without a winner. But after the match, we were quite “energy and relaxed.” Festivals are occasions for happy, but they can never be achieved without health.
3 . Ian Happ is a professional baseball player for a baseball team in the United States. When he first started playing with the team in 2017, he was looking for pictures to hang in his home. An idea and an unlikely partnership with a British artist came from that simple desire.
Happ wanted to show Wrigley Field, the team’s ballpark, from a different artistic vision. He said that many baseball fans had been to Wrigley Field but had never seen what the ballpark looked like, from the field. He thought looking up from the field was such a cool experience that he intended to bring that to more fans. So, from his point of view, he let the British artist Patrick Vale create three large drawings of Wrigley Field. Instead of having pictures hung in his home, the partnership led to something quite different.
Happ’s views of Wrigley Field became the project, Through My Eyes, in which fans could purchase prints. The money made in this way went toward those people in need. The drawings by Vale became See What I See, an exhibition at a Chicago’s gallery. The show lasted a period of time.
Happ ever brought Vale to Chicago in September of 2018 and showed him around Wrigley Field. Vale knew little about the sport of baseball. But he understood the connection fans had with Wrigley Field. Happ had to explain to Vale the importance of the 400-foot sign in the center field and the famous manual scoreboard. He had to teach him the correct positioning of the players. He also explained what it felt like standing in the field under the bright lights with a loud crowd.
Vale took pictures and used them to help him create drawings in great detail. He was very modest and would send rough drawings to Happ, who would mark them up in red ink, like a teacher, with suggestions. It was in this way that their cooperation was so successful.

5 . Why You Shouldn’t Exercise to Lose Weight
Many of us are starting (or restarting) exercise in hopes of losing unwanted pounds.
Sometimes exercise fails to meet our weight-loss expectations.
Perhaps the biggest problem with exercising to drop pounds is that it turns physical activity into punishment—a price we have to pay for a slimmer body. How many times have you heard someone say (or said yourself) “I’ll do extra exercise” after eating too much during the holidays or at a celebratory dinner? We treat exercise as a form of self-punishment for being “bad” in the past.
The takeaway is that we see exercise positively and actually do it when we focus on our well-being rather than our weight.
A.Aiming to be more active is good. |
B.So by all means, try to exercise regularly. |
C.And we often sour on it and stop working out. |
D.Therefore, it’s not very helpful for melting away pounds. |
E.As a consequence, we’re unlikely to enjoy it or to keep doing it. |
F.For some, the motivation may be an improved mood or less stress. |
G.For starters, exercise, at least the kind most of us do, is typically ineffective for weight loss. |

When I was young, I was really a quietly girl without any interest in sports. Nor I know what volleyball was. However, a competitive match in the 2016 Olympic Games totally changed me. I still remember the wonderful moment where Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team defeated all the other teams and win the gold medal. Instantly, they became my heroine and I even imagined me to be one of them. Apart for playing for fun, I’ve also mastered several skills, like passing the ball and cooperate with my teammates. It’s volleyball which shows me what the courage and perseverance can achieve.

The doctor told me and my brother that we had to get more exercises.
We all tried exercising at the gym, riding bikes, and lift weights. We hate all of them. We had to find an activity what was fun, if we were going to stick to them. One day we saw a poster for dancing lessons in our community center. We decided sign up. After the first lesson we knew we had been found our exercise program. It was lots of fun. It wasn’t long before we formed the dance team, and competed against another dancers in the city.
Now we get all the exercise we need.
