有关中考体育锻炼的例子小文
Last term, I met a big challenge in my PE test. I was poor at running and was afraid I couldn’t pass the exam.
At first, I felt upset and wanted to give up. But my PE teacher encouraged me and gave me some advice. I made a plan to run 1000 meters every morning. At first, I was tired and wanted to stop, but I kept telling myself not to give up. With my teacher’s help and my hard work, I finally passed the test with a good grade.
This experience taught me that nothing is impossible if we keep trying. Challenges are not terrible, andthey help us grow stronger. In the future, I will face difficulties bravely and never give up easily.

I was a shy person in the past. I was afraid to communicate with my classmates. I always kept silent at school and refused to join group activities. Soon, I had no close friends. I felt lonely and upset every day, not knowing how to change the situation.
Luckily, my English teacher noticed my trouble. She told me that kindness and communication were the key to friendship. I decided to have a try. I began to smile at others, take part in after-school activities and listen to my classmates patiently. When they met trouble, I was willing to give a hand.

提示词：short video 短视频
Short videos were very popular with people of all ages. They were mostly short and interesting. We could watch them anywhere at any time we liked. We could also feel relaxed as well as get some useful information and skills from them.For example, we could learn to cook different dishes from short videos.We could learn to dance or draw pictures.We could also learn some ways to study more effectively. However, more and more people were crazy about short videos.
What was known to us was that not all short videos were meaningful and did good to people. People sometimes got harmful and unhealthy information, such as meaningless and silly videos. Those bad contents might make us form bad habits. Besides, we might waste a lot of time if we watched too many short videos. Especially watching videos for a long time hurt our eyes and made our eyesight poor. Meanwhile, many children stayed up late, which affected their school work.In my opinion, we should choose videos wisely and balance the time between study and entertainment.we shouldn’t spend too much time on them.

Hearing that you would travel to China, I felt very happy. Let me share some of our traditional culture and customs with you.
We had various wonderful traditions.The Spring Festival played an important role in our lifeand was the most important festival for Chinese people. We got together with families, enjoyed delicious food and sent best wishes to each other. Besides, we kept many lovely traditions, such as drinking tea and making paper-cuts.Our tea culture was passed down from generation to generation.(或者These customs had been passed down for hundreds of years.) Different kinds of tea brought us different feelings. Many people enjoyed tea in their free time, and it helped us keep relaxed. We treated guests with tea to show kindness.I hoped you could taste different kinds of Chinese tea and have a wonderful time here.It made our life comfortable. Paper-cutting was also a famous folk artand well-known around the world. People cut beautiful patterns on paper during festivals. Artists created lively works with simple paper and scissors.No matter what kinds of patterns paper-cutting had, it was popular with people of all ages. I was looking forward to your arrival and sharing these traditions with you.Our country was full of charm. I couldn't wait to meet you and show you around.
