Then I read an article that said instead of asking “Am I fat ” I should be asking“Am I fit ” I had no idea a letter could make such a difference! Once I started thinking about fitness rather than weight, things began to change. Instead of saying“I want to lose three kilos”, I would say“I want to run two kilometres in eight minutes”or“I want to be able to do 30 push-ups”. Rather than cutting out the foods I enjoyed, I added healthy foods to my meals. I could still have a burger now and then, but I would add a salad or an apple.

GOING POSITIVE
I always wanted to look like the slim girls on TV even though I knew that it was impossible. I worried about my weight and tried every new diet I read about online. I tried no fat, low-fat, 5:2, only bananas, no bananas — I almost went bananas, too.
Then I read an article that said instead of asking “Am l fat ” I should be asking “Am fit ” I had no idea a letter could make such a difference! Once I started thinking about fitness rather than weight, things began to change. Instead of saying “I want to lose three kilos”, I would say “l want to run two kilometres in eight minutes” or “l want to be able to do 30 push-ups”. Rather than cutting out the foods I enjoyed, I added healthy foods to my meals. l could still have a burger now and then, but l would add a salad or an apple.
Finally, I stopped comparing myself with actresses and models and looking for things that were wrong with my face or body. Instead, I made a list of the things I liked about myself. By being positive about myself and my body, I became both happier and healthier.

A sample
As we all know, working out is of great significance to our physical health, but it is difficult for us to stick to it. From my point of view, doing exercise to your favourite music is a good idea, which may help you enjoy yourself while working out. You’ll easily lose yourself in your favourite music and forget about the pain. What counts most is that you can work out five days a week with a close firend. Not only can he give you great encouragement, but he can keep you in company, making you feel not alone. It is with these methods that you can stick to doing exercise and live a happy and healthy life.
Use the ideas in your discussion and what you have learnt to write a wellness page.

How can we introduce a general statement about the topic（健康生活）？
1）to introduce the importance of healthy life.
2) to present some teenagers’ unhealthy lifestyles.
It is true that people are increasingly aware of the importance of health. However, some
teenagers don’t realize it. They often eat too much junk food high in sugar and salt, which
is a major contributor to weight problems. Besides, some of them are addicted to online
games or glued to smart phones, which affects them both physically and mentally.
Take myself as an example.
The importance of health can not be overemphasized. Good health enables us to enjoy our life and achieve what we hope for in our life. On the contrary, poor health leads to nothing. Take myself as an example.
As we all know, taking a balanced diet and taking regular exercise are of great importance, but we tend to turn a blind eye to it. Only when we suffer something bad from it can we realize its importance. Take myself as an example.

Use the checklist to comment on this draft.

2. Does the writer tell how the changes have improved her life
3. Is the text well-organized
4. Does the writer use words and expressions to show differences
5.Are there any grammar or spelling errors
In common with many young people, I used to lead an unhealthy life, such as staying up late, preferring fast food, disliking sports, etc. As a result, I fell ill easily lacking energy, which greatly affected my study and life.
I read an article that said jogging would make a difference to health. I came to realize the importance of doing sports rather than hating exercising. Things began to change. Instead of rarely working out, I made it a rule to run every day. What’s more, I ate a healthy and balanced diet, instead of being free to enjoy junk food. Finally, I stopped staying up late and enjoying myself by eating unhealthy food. Instead, I kept going for a jog at least half an hour per day.
Now, I’m crazy about jogging. Thanks to it, I become both more energetic and healthier.
I always felt anxious and stressful at senior high school at first because I was afraid of being left behind. I was worried about so many things that I couldn’t sleep well and focus on my study.
Then, I read a book called “Who Moved Your Cheese” which made me realize that making changes can make a difference to life. Instead of just worrying about my study, I would make a schedule for my study and finish the to-do list. Rather than be anxious the whole day, I would do some exercises regularly and listen to music to relieve my stress and tiredness after studying, which also helped me feel more energetic.
Now, I stopped feeling upset about something new. Instead, I would also always remind myself to smile as often as possible and stay positive about everything that is going to happen.

你对征文主题的理解
Personally speaking, working out is a great way for teenagers to strengthen their muscles and build up their bodies. It is for this reason that I’m fond of doing exercise.
As an old saying goes, “Life is based on exercise.” The more exercise we do, the healthier we will become. Sports bring us both happiness and health.
你喜欢的运动项目以及活动情况
There are varieties of sports events in our school, among which I prefer playing table tennis best. With strong interest in it, I almost play ping-pang every afternoon when school is out. Additionally, I completed in the ping-pang competition held in our school last month. Eventually, not only did I win second place, but also I brought honor and glory to my class.
你喜欢的运动项目以及活动情况
Working out is part of my life. I can play a variety of sports, ranging from jogging, swimming, skipping to playing basketball, among which my favorite sport is playing badminton. Although I have less time to play badminton the moment I stepped into senior high school, I still play it regularly, in P.E classes or after class.
该运动给你的生活和学习带来的好处
For one thing, my life has been more and more colorful and meaningful. For another, due to the breaks, I can bury myself in my study positively to make greater progress. Therefore, I strongly recommend that everyone work out for one hour a day.
Stressful and tough as senior high school life is, it’s a good way to relieve me by playing badminton. Sweat like a pig / With sweat streaming down my back, I usually forget everything but excitement while I am playing. Not only can it reduce my pressure of study, but it can also keep me positive. It is playing sports that makes me live my life to the fullest.
