paragraph 1
When my friend first suggested that we join the new Tai Chi Club at school, I hesitated. I always believed tai chi was for old people.
当我的朋友一开始建议我们参加学校新太极拳俱乐部时，我犹豫了。
我过去一直认为太极拳是老年人的运动。
After the first class, however,I had to admit that I had been wrong about tai chi. It was amazing!
不过，第一节课后，我不得不承认，我之前对太极拳的认识是错误的。
太极拳实在是太神奇了!
One year later, I can honestly say it has had a huge effect on me physically and mentally.
Just as importantly, practising tai chi has inspired me to explore the Chinese culture behind it.
一年后，我确实可以说太极拳在身体上和精神上对我都产生了巨大的影响。
同样重要的是，练习太极拳激励了我去探究其背后的中国文化。

Q2: What were the first few classes like
The moves, with descriptive names, really caught his imagination.
white crane spreading its wings
golden rooster standing on one leg
The first few tai chi classes were fun and easy, and the moves really caught my imagination, with descriptive names like "white crane spreading its wings" and "golden rooster standing on one leg".
前几节太极拳课非常有趣也很容易，像“白鹤亮翅”“金鸡独立”这些很形象的招式名称确实引起我的兴趣。
Q2: What were the first few classes like
The moves, with descriptive names, really caught his imagination.
His coach told him about the history of tai chi.
Zhang Sanfeng, a 13th-century Taoist, was said to have invented tai chi after drawing inspiration from a fight between a snake and a bird.
Invention:
Chen Wangting, a 17th-century master of Chinese martial arts, developed tai chi based on martial arts skills. (line12-14)
Development:
Chen Wangting’s original set of moves is called Chen-style tai chi, but other styles of tai chi have since been developed, including Yang-style, Wu-style and Sun-style.(line16-18)
People used to think（Line 10）
Nowadays people tend to believe（Line 12）
When I asked my coach where these interesting names came from, he told me about the history of tai chi.
当我问教练，这些有趣的名称从何而来时，他和我说了太极拳的历史。
Zhang Sanfeng, a 13th-century Taoist（道士）, was said to have invented tai chi after drawing inspiration from a fight between a snake and a bird.
张三丰，一个13世纪的道士，据说在从蛇与鸟的缠斗中汲取灵感后，创立了太极拳。
However, nowadays people tend to believe that
Chen Wangting, a 17th-century master of Chinese martial arts, developed tai chi 【based on martial arts skills】.
不过，如今人们倾向于认为是17世纪的武术大师陈王廷【根据武术技巧】开发了太极拳。
No wonder some tai chi moves are named after animals ——Chinese martial arts have a long-standing（长期的；悠久的） practice of imitating animals.
（It is）no wonder （that）
难怪……；…不足为奇
由于中国武术中模拟动物的做法由来已久，太极拳的部分招式以动物来命名也就不足为奇了。
Chen Wangting's original set of moves is called Chen-style taichi, but other styles of tai chi have since（此后） been developed, including Yang-style,Wu-style and Sun-style.
陈王廷最初创编的招式称为陈氏太极拳，但是其他门类的太极拳此后也被发展出来，包括杨氏太极拳、吴氏太极拳和孙氏太极拳。

para. 3
After learning the basics of tai chi in those first few classes, I found myself bored and aching from doing the same moves over and over again.
after doing:做某事之后
在前几节课学了太极拳基础之后，我发现一遍又一遍重复这些招式让我感到厌倦，而且肌肉酸痛。
Luckily, my coach taught me how to relax my muscles and focus on peace of mind 【while （I was）performing the routine】.
幸运的是，我的教练教会了我如何放松肌肉，以及【在日常练习时】如何集中于心境的平和。

With these requirements（要求） of tai chi in mind, I found （to my satisfaction） that my balance and flexibility slowly improved, that I was able to do more difficult moves, and that my love for tai chi returned stronger than ever.
将太极拳的这些要求铭记于心，令我满意的是，我发现自己的平衡能力和柔韧性慢慢地得到了改善，我可以尝试一些更难的招式，我对太极的热爱又回来了，而且比以前更强烈。
para.4
In time, I began to look into the ancient (古老的)Chinese culture behind tai chi.
I discovered（发现） that tai chi is deeply rooted in the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang, which are believed to form the unity of opposites（对立）.
最后，我开始探寻太极拳背后的中国古代文化。我发现，太极拳深深地扎根于中国的阴阳哲学之中，人们认为阴和阳构成了对立统一 。
Neither can exist independent of the other; for example, there is no shadow without light.
它们不能独立于彼此存在，比如，没有光就不会有影子。
The practice of tai chi aims to maintain
（维持） the balance of yin and yang in the body 【through opposite（相反的） movements: forwards and backwards, up and down, left and right, breathing in and breathing out. 】
练习太极拳旨在【通过些相对的动作--进退、上下、左右、吐纳】来维持体内的阴阳调和。
Eventually, tai chi brings about a state（状态） of physical balance and mental peace.
最终，太极拳带来一种身体平衡和精神平和的状态。

I think tai chi will not get more popular among teenagers because:
tai chi isn’t to teenagers’ taste because of its slow pace;
tai chi takes much time;
tai chi is not practical for teenagers with heavy study pressure.
I think tai chi will get more popular among teenagers because:
tai chi is good for physical and mental health;
tai chi brings about a state of physical and mental balance;
tai chi broadens horizons and enriches knowledge on the ancient Chinese culture.
I think tai chi will definitely become more popular among teenagers, because I believe young people are becoming more aware of the importance of physical and mental health. Tai chi is great because it helps with both. This should make it a good choice for teenagers who want to take up exercise. Also, as a traditional Chinese form of exercise, tai chi will probably get a lot of support from the government, schools and other bodies.
