Do you like walking? A 13-year-old girl named Jenny likes walking very much. She likes walking because she thinks it is good for her health. "It's about 6 kilometers from my home to school. I get up at 6:00 every morning. After having breakfast, I walk to school. I can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the way. I feel very happy. I can also think about what to do or how to do things at school on the way," says Jenny. "My father buys a new car and he wants to take me to school every morning. But I think I need to exercise and I hope my father can exercise, too. Now he often walks to work. After dinner, my father, my mother and I often take a walk in the park near our house. I have a healthy and happy family."
