I really love football. I am a member of our school football team. I play football four times a week. I also like cricket(板球) and I play it a lot in summer. I don't like tennis. I think it's boring. |

I don't like sports at school very much, but I like going fishing with my dad. It's great fun and it's very exciting. Sometimes we go to Scotland and go deep-sea fishing if we have a long holiday. |

I hate gymnastics(体操). Our gym teacher is really terrible. What I like best is swimming because I'm very good at it. I can swim faster than the other kids in my class. I also like badminton. |
Jogging（慢跑） is good for us and helps us live longer and more healthily. It's easy to do and free. You do not have to spend much money jogging. You can do it in a park or even in your home. But many people find it boring after jogging for a while. Then how can we keep jogging fun? Here are some ideas to make your jogging interesting.
You should choose to wear your favorite sports clothes and shoes when you jog. They make you more comfortable.
Always jog outdoors(在户外). By changing your route, you can choose another street, and you will always have something interesting to enjoy when you jog.
Listen to your favorite songs when you jog. The music can make you excited and run farther without feeling bored.
It's always more enjoyable with a friend. Make friends while jogging. Join a running club, find a new running partner, or invite an old friend to go jogging. It's better to find a friend who runs a little faster than you. Then you can try to catch up with him or her.
In Chengdu University, a coach is teaching some students how to climb a tree on the ground. The sport has become part of the school's outdoor sports subject. "Tree climbing" is special and different. Now 20 students have joined in the new game. At the end of the training, they will show how to climb trees with some special equipment. The practice is enjoyable.
"I think tree climbing is good for young people," said Li Zhonghua, an outdoor sports teacher at the university. He's teaching tree climbing this year. He said, "It shows a new and interesting sports activity and we are trying to develop (发展) students' skills (技能) for their future jobs and their life. Now climbing has become an independent (独立的) industry that has created some new kinds of jobs."
Some people worry about the students' safety, some care about the trees, and some are for the subject. In fact, the students are safe because the teachers are ready to help them any time. The trees are safe as well. In our daily lives, sometimes we really need such people who are good at climbing, for example, catching a ball in a tree. Keep on climbing every day! We hope more students will choose it!

Don't work too hard. Choose a sport that you are interested in and then your exercise will be fun instead of work. Also, you only need to exercise a few times each week. If you exercise for 30 minutes each time, you will stay healthy.
