Today, more and more parents ask their children to play sports every day, because they worry about their children's health. They want to know more ways to help children keep healthy.

Being healthy means a person eats well and gets enough physical exercise. If you are healthy,your mind works well and feels good. Here are some rules you can follow to keep healthy.

Eat all kinds of foods. You may have your favorite food, but it is important to eat all kinds of foods. Try to eat at least five kinds of fruits and vegetables a day, two fruits and three vegetables.

Spend less time on screen. Some children spend much time watching TV, playing computer games or using a smartphone. These three sitting down activities are really bad for your health. Try to spend no more than two hours a day on screens.

Be active. You need to find what activities you like as a child. Not everyone loves baseball or soccer. Maybe your favorite is swimming or dancing. You can write down the enjoyable things when your mom says it's time to stop playing computer games!

Hello, everyone! I’m Li Ming.

That’s all. Thank you for listening!

For anyone experiencing the struggle of foreign language learning, here’s my way of learning Chinese.

Study abroad.

You can try to study abroad. It’s the laziest method because although my Chinese is so poor right now. Every day I’m still exposed (曝光的) to so much. It helps me keep good level of Chinese.

Find friends who don’t speak English.

Finding friends who don’t speak your mother tongue (母语) is the best way to improve. And this doesn’t even need to be local friends. I liked to hang out with Korean and Japanese friends because they were also learning Chinese. We were asked not to speak English but Chinese. In this way, my Chinese skills improved a lot.

Go to KTV.

Singing is such a great group activity, but it is terrible when you don’t know the songs. Ask your friends for a list of classic KTV songs and start learning your favourites. You’ll learn more grammar structures. For example, you can learn lots of romantic sounding phrases to express your love in Chinese songs.

Watch YouTube!

If you don’t have time for foreign language films or TV shows, find vlogs (视频博客) or even different kinds of shows by people who speak your desired language! I love watching vlogs in Chinese because it’s another way to get used to hearing real-life conversations. And it is a good way to learn new slangs (俚语) and phrases.

I think language learning is sometimes difficult, but try to keep it fun!

English is more and more important nowadays, but some students have troubles in learning English.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

A Special Gift

Liu Genghong must be one of the most popular influencers(网红) these days. He leads millions of people to do sports at home every day. And he always uses Jay Chou’s songs in his live studio. He and Jay are close friends. And these are their stories.

When Jay was eighteen years old, he met Liu, a singer at that time. Jay had a hard time then, it was Liu who gave him food, clothes. And Liu also tried his best to help Jay on his business. One day, Jay was asked to perform in public(公众的). However, no one could understand him. Liu encouraged him and said “You did a good job, but if you can sing louder, it will be much better.” Then Liu asked for the second chance of singing for Jay.

After Jay sang the second time, he got the chance to film recordings（发唱片）and became an overnight celebrity（一夜成名）. Jay wanted to share his success with Liu, so he invited him to join his songs and movies.

What is Jay’s special gift? It’s the help from Liu Genghong. Before Jay Chou became a superstar, Liu Genghong has been helping him. Since Jay Chou became a superstar, their relationship has not been estranged(疏远的), but has become closer and closer. Their stories let us see what a true friend is. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.

Almost everyone in the world needs friends. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
