When my sister Gina was born, she had a problem with her heart. She was weak after a long 1 and had to go to the hospital very often. She had 2 walking, playing with other children, and going to school. 

Our parents wanted to take Gina to a special place in Florida and hoped Gina could 3 with dolphins(海豚). When Gina knew it, she was 4 because she didn't know whether it was easy to be around dolphins.

When we got to Florida, we couldn't wait to 5 the place. Kids who had 6 needs like Gina could come and spend time with dolphins. I thought it was going to be a vacation, 7 it wasn't. Gina had to work hard every day for a week.

However, the trip was amazing. Gina 8 and clapped (鼓掌) when she saw the dolphins. One of the dolphins squeaked (尖叫) happily to 9 her. They swam together all day. Gina was able to move her body more than she 10 did at home. Mum and Dad were proud of Gina. I was, too. 

Like most people, you find it difficult to climb out of bed early in the morning. But once you wake up as the sun rises after a long struggle, it will of benefit (益处) to you. As Benjamin Franklin said, " Theearly morning has gold mouth. "

The best part of waking up early is the peace. You can feel the fresh air entering yourself and refreshing your whole body. There are sounds of humans, which usually make you distracted (分心的) while doing what you like. It's the best time to focus and think about what to do for the rest of the day. When you wake early you can make a healthy breakfast which is considered the most important meal of the day. Waking up early also helps youhave a head start. If you wake up early, there will be enough time to exercise. It will help you have both emotional and physical health.

When you wake up earl, you can do things peacefully without being worried about getting late. It also gives you a healthy skin. In the early morning, the sunlight on your face gives you a healthy glow(容光焕发). Moreover, if you wake up early you will keep your skin hydrated (含水的) by drinking enough water which develops your skin healthily. Early risers have better sleep patterns that suit them than those who sleep late, and they get quality sleep that results in repairs of the mind and the body. It helps in increasing blood supply to the muscles for development. 

The benefits are enough for early risers. If you are someone who is night owl, you can try to change this with a patience. Make sure that you have the right sleep tools, and go to bed a little earlier so that you can sleep well and get up early. 

These yearspeople show all kinds of things on the Internet—good food, nice clothes, wonderful vacations and so on. Now showing the number of steps is becoming popular, too. Why?

People are finding it important to be in good health. To keep healthy, many people go to work on foot. When they start walking, they open the step counter app in their phones to record how many steps they walk that day. After a day's walk, some people show the number on We Chat or Weibo. This can make them learn from each other and keep exercising.

"This helps me to exercise much and keep a good habit," Miss Liu said. "I can also talk about how to keep healthy with my friends on We Chat. We are in the same group to encourage each other to keep exercising. "

Mr. Wu likes to exercise. But in the past he was kind of lazy and didn't want to exercise everyday. "After I use the step counter app, everything is different. It's great to exercise with my friends. Sometimes there are prizes for those who walk more steps. I really like it," he said.

Walking is a relaxing and useful way to exercise. Both the old and the young like it. Recording the steps helps people develop a good habit of walking and showing the number can make people more interested in walking. But don't take the number too seriously.

Mom often says, "Cooking is an important skill, and it can be fun!" But I had no interest in cooking at all I met with a cooking app（应用软件）. There are different kinds of recipes（菜谱）in the app. They offer detailed instructions users can follow them step by step. Most of them even include photos or videos, which are quite useful for beginners. Last week, I picked up a popular recipe to cook fish. When I , it was exactly what I wanted and tasted delicious. Then I tried more recipes. Now I can cook a couple of . I find cooking is great fun and it seems that I cooking. My plan is to invite my friends over next weekend and show them my new skills. I hope they will like my cooking.

"Don't judge a book by its cover," the old saying goes. Unluckily, as a teenager, that is often exactly what you do to yourself. Dark thoughts about your physical appearance can hang over you all the time like a rain cloud. Do I look fat in these jeans? Do others think I am too short? These thoughts can have a negative(消极的) influence on people of any shape or size, both male and female, and it is important to guard against the causes behind them.

Standards of beauty in the media can have a big influence on what you think of your physical appearance. Teens who try to copy the looks of their favouritestars are fighting a losing battle—these standards are simply impossible for most of the population to live up to. They will only end up feeling worse about themselves. 

Your friends also influence the way you view your physical appearance. If you have friends who are good-looking or have a great fashion sense, it can feel like you are living in their shadow. For children of digital age, social media makes this problem even worse. Your friends may post a "never ending" series of photos online to show off their beautiful dresses or strong bodies, and it becomes easier for you to compare yourself to them. This has proved to have a negative effect on what you think of your physical appearance.

These external influences are always present, but there are certainly ways to deal with them. First of all, be careful not to follow popular beauty standards blindly. They are out of reach for 99% of us, so it is better to just forget about them. 

Another tip is to remind yourself that you are unique(独一无二的). Keep in mind that your family and friends love you just the way you are. Talk about your feelings with someone you trust. Focusing on your strength also helps you build your confidence. Everyone has their own talents—you may be good at painting or playing the piano, so take pride in things you do well instead of worrying about things you cannot change. 

You may often judge yourself by what is on the outside, not on the inside. However, like a book, your contents are much more important than your cover. If you can learn to see the good things about yourself—your individuality, your value to others, your achievements—you will soon begin to love yourself just the way you are. 

Never judge a book by its cover

Enjoy study, enjoy life

Because of the "double reduction" policy, we have more time to do what we like to enjoy study and life.

In a word, if we spend our free time properly, we will get a lot in both body and mind.
