Wrking Out thrugh Online Vides
Physical exercise is gd fr ur mind, bdy and spirit. Tday, wrking ut thrugh nline vides is becming very ppular. Since the Internet is widely used, it’s very easy fr us t d s. That means we can wrk ut anytime anywhere.
One f my friends, Lin Fei. fllwed shrt wrkut vides t d daily exercise. “With live prgrams, I feel like wrking ut with my friends, which encurages me t hld n t the last minute.” she said. Anther friend f mine, Michael, tld me that wrkut vides let him feel s cmfrtable. “I have a fear f wrking ut at the gym（健身房）because I dn’t like being watched by thers. Wrking ut at hme makes wrking ut much mre enjyable.” he said.
With their examples, I decided t give it a try. When I tld my plan t my elder sister, a P.E. teacher, she reminded me that wrkut vides culd be helpful but might still carry sme prblems.
“Withut being with smene in persn, yu will be less willing （愿意的）t wrk ut t yur best. Wrking ut at the gym allws yu t have advice in real time and get pushed harder.” my sister said t me. “Well, if yu really want t have a try. first, chse prper prgrams r vides. That’s very imprtant. And then ask yur friends fr advice. Their experiences can give yu a gd sight int what yu can expect. Anyway, dn’t be addicted（沉迷的）t it. Yu shuld try different ways t wrk ut t be healthy.”
At her suggestins, I finally fllwed an nline wrkut prgram with persnalized help that is held fr three mnths. After the first perid f training, I felt it very practical and helpful when I put in the right amunt （量） f wrk alng with a strng will. Cmpared with ging t the gym, using nline vides t wrk ut is a much cheaper and time-saving chice. But it can be difficult smetimes when I’m t lazy r t busy t stick t it.

Fr this kind f educatinal practice, peple think differently. Here are their cmments (意见).
Knw MreSchling is educatin that children receive at schl.
Hme schling is the practice f educating that children learn at hme with a parent r a tutr.
Unschling is an educatinal practice that allws children t decide hw, what and where they want t learn.
AgreeIndependent learning teaches children t be respnsible fr themselves. With n teacher arund, children must manage themselves, and this is a really imprtant skill fr later life.
Unschling allws children t learn what they are really interested in. If learning is enjyable, it’s mre successful.
Very yung children learn in a natural way. Withut being taught, they knw clrs and vices, they learn smiling and walking. Why shuldn’t peple cntinue t learn like this?
Unschling gives children mre time fr sprts, vlunteering and museum r park visits. They may meet different peple wh share their interests.
DisagreeUnschling requires parents’ supprt and attentin. They need t create a learning space that excites children and remind them f their daily rutines.
Teachers can push children t learn what they dn’t enjy but can be imprtant later in life.
Unschling sunds t gd t be true. It can be helpful when children are very yung. But it puts t much pressure n children because they can learn difficult subjects easily nly with teachers’ help.
Unschling happens at hme, s children culd have less cntact with thers at their age. This means they culd end up becming shy.
Liang Qicha educated his wn children well. He set a gd example fr them and ften cmmunicated with them. If there were a talk acrss time and space, he wuld advise middle schl students like this. Dn’t be afraid f the difficulties in life. Never stp learning. Yu’ll get gd results sner r later. N matter where yu g in the wrld, dn’t frget yur mtherland. Yu have many chances and can g after yur persnal dreams anywhere, but yu shuld always keep yur hmeland in yur heart.

③The Shw TimeThe last wrkday fr the prject came.
“Is there a prblem?” Mrs. Hlt knew well there was a prblem. She wanted them t put it in their wn wrds, thugh.
“Well, I think the vlcan shuld be smth.” Sharla began.
“And,” jumped in Lee, “it shuld lk rcky, like a real muntain.”
“I see. What d yu think, Tny?” Mrs. Hlt waited.
“Well, I think it wuld have lava(岩浆) running dwn.”

Dear Wang,Great t hear yu are cming t the USA! I d hpe yu can stp by and visit us in the Big Apple — a ppular name fr New Yrk City. There are s many things t see and d here. It wuld take a lifetime t list them all: Chinatwn, Wall Street, Central Park, t name nly a few. But knwing yu as I d, I’d suggest walking thrugh Midtwn Manhattan. It is very ppular in the USA and just can’t be missed!
Peple ften say that n visit t New Yrk City is cmplete withut a trip t Bradway! Bradway with its cafés, street perfrmers（表演者）and clrful signs really represents New Yrk’s lud spirit! As Bradway is the heart f the American theater industry, it’s at night when it truly cmes alive. Bradway is well-knwn fr its big theaters. They shw Shakespeare, mdern plays, dance shws r musicals — take yur pick! With yur lve f singing and interest in drama（戏剧）, I’d recmmend（推荐）a musical. It’s a great and mving experience that I’m sure yu wuld lve — a bit like Peking pera! Many musicals are based n classic stries like Les Miserables r Peter Pan, and they might even inspire（激发）yu t read the bks, t!
My big news is that I am ging t China n vacatin this winter. I am lking fr places f interest in China. Can yu recmmend sme t me?
See yu sn!
