Everyone knows that exercise is important. We all need to exercise. It is good for us. It makes you strong and smart. If you exercise every day, you can get good grades（分数）in the exam and do homework well.

There are many ways to exercise. You can walk, run, swim, skate, or play ball games. But remember: Exercise enough, but not too much. It’s best to exercise 30 minutes each time. Many people go to special places to exercise. People call them “healthy centers”. They have a lot of equipment there. The equipment will help exercise your arms, legs and other parts of your body. Exercise can be fun. Friends can exercise together at a healthy center. Or, they can play sports together.

When we are in the wild, we find that water is important for us to live. There are many ways to get some clean water. For example, if there is fire and enough water, the best way is to boil the water. But in many cases, there doesn’t seem to be any safe water available.

Can you think of a way of cleaning dirty water by using the sun? In this activity, you will make a “solar still (太阳能蒸馏器)”. Let’s get started to make pure water (纯净水)!

Sometimes we fall in love with something at once and sometimes it takes long. The same is true with poems (诗歌). If we’re lucky enough, we open a book and find an interesting poem at once. 【小题1】 Today I’d like to talk about ways of reading poems better.

【小题2】 Sometimes a poem that seems boring on first reading becomes interesting with more reading. And sometimes you’re just not in the right feeling the first time you read a poem, but later it touches your heart.

【小题3】 Poets (诗人) like to use unusual words. Maybe you don’t know these words in the poems, don’t worry, try to guess their meanings or look them up in the dictionary.

Read aloud and listen to the poem. 【小题4】 Besides, a poet’s reading is very helpful before we can understand the poem’s meanings, from where the poet places emphasis (重音) or stops.

After you finish reading a poem, take a few moments to think about what it is saying. Sometimes its meanings are better understood through repeated reading. 【小题5】

It is hard to say whether there’s a right or wrong way to read poems, but reading practices will enrich your experience, increase your enjoyment, and deepen your understanding of any poem.
