How to Keep Healthy

Last week, our school made a survey on how to keep healthy. This activity aroused a great interest among students and we collected many useful advice. Firstly, we are encouraged to keep a balanced diet and take vitamins. Secondly, please keep in mind that it is of great use for students to have eight hours of sleep, for it provides us with enough energy to study. At the same time, we are required to pay much attention to doing regular exercise, which is a golden opportunity for us to strengthen our physical health. In addition, there are many other aspects contributing to our fitness. Don’t forget to set aside some time for fresh air and relaxation.

Through this activity, we can gain much information about keeping healthy.

Good morning, everyone,

I am Li Hua from Xingguang Middle School. The topic of my speech is “Let’s Ride Bicycle”. As we all know, the living surroundings around us have already changed, compared with many years ago. Especially with the growing amount of private cars, our environment has been polluted seriously. Air is not as fresh as that we used to breathe and traffic jam is a daily headache. Facing such an emergency, I hold a view that it is time that we adopted some necessary measures.

My suggestion is that riding bicycles will enjoy a great many benefits. First of all, we are encouraged to ride bikes instead of driving cars, for the bike is regarded as a low-carbon tooland can save much energy. In addition, if we choose the bicycle as the transport to go to school or work, it is an excellent chance for us to make exercise, which is good for our health.

Therefore, in order to establish an environmentally friendly society, it is our duty to ride bicycles.

Thank you!

Dear Miss Li,

I’m one of your students in Class Six, Senior Three. Nowadays I meet a great many difficulties when studying English. To begin with, it is a challenge for me to memorize a large number of new words. In addition, grammar is too complex to understand, which has influenced my English writing seriously. And my performance on reading and correcting is not satisfactory. Faced with such a dilemma/phenomenon/situation, I hope that you can give me a hand. Would you provide me with some effective approaches to learning new words? Secondly, I believe that I would have a good command of what you teach, if you slow down your speed in the class. Last but not least, it is of great use that you can share with me some methods in learning grammar and writing. There is no denying that I would achieve great progress in English leaning with your assistance.

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

Wang Min

Dear Sir/Madam,

I learned from the newspaper that your company needs an English secretary. I am really fond of this job and willing to be one of your members.

I am 18 years old and will be graduating from Xinxing Foreign Language School in July. At school, I used to achieve excellent academic performance and continually acquired scholarships every year in three-year high school life. I have a good command of English and especially am skilled inwritten English. So I think I am very qualified for this position. Besides that, I am an easy-going boy/girl, enjoying making friends. In my spare time, I am crazy about sports and outdoor activities, which enable me to understand the significance of teamwork. I would be appreciated if you offer me this chance.

I’m looking forward to your reply.

Sincerely yours,

Li Hua
