Id like to tell you something about the survey conducting last week in our school about middle school students health in China.
The survey shows that the state of middle school students body quality had been getting worse and worse year by year, with more people having the problems of being overweight. One reason could be that they have a heavy load in theirs study so that they seldom do physical exercise. Another reason is they dont do labor work like housework. Beside, they dont have a balanced diet. To deal with the situation, some experts suggest that students should do the sports for at least one hour a day. They are also advising to eat more fruit and vegetables but refuse junk food. In the end, Id like to learn from the situation about that in your country.
Yours,
Li Hua

習作修改
作者寫信向朋友說明“中學生的健康狀況”調查的結果,并給出了學生身體素質逐年下降的原因和專家建議。
1. conducting→conducted 因the survey與conduct是被動關系,故用過去分詞作后置定語。
2. had→has描述學生的身體狀況變得如何應該用現(xiàn)在完成進行時,且主語the state為第三人稱單數(shù)形式,故應改為has。
3. problems→problem 指being overweight的問題,故應用單數(shù)形式。
4. theirs→their 在名詞study前作定語,要用形容詞性物主代詞。
5. 在is后加that 表語從句的連接詞that雖不充當成分,但通常不省略。
6. Beside→Besides 用副詞besides表補充說明,而beside為介詞,意為“在……旁邊”。
7. 去掉the 因do sports(做運動)為固定短語。
8. advising→advised 主語they (the students)與advise是被動關系,要用被動語態(tài)。
9. but→and 此處兩個動作為并列關系而非轉折關系。
10. of→about 因learn about意為“了解”,而learn from 意為“向……學習”。

Dear Paul,
Im writing to tell you something about the survey conducted recently by social networking app QQ on most popular types of exercise among Chinese.
According to the survey, nearly 37 percent of the people chose fast walking as their favorite exercise while more than 23 percent selected running and more than 14 percent picked cycling. The rest preferred bodybuilding, dancing and other types of exercise.
One reason why fast walking tops popular exercise list is that fast walking is an easily accessible way with low cost. Besides, the health-conscious Chinese tend to do exercise outdoors in nature rather than being stuck in gyms or fitness facilities.
As for me, I also have a preference for this exercise, which makes me feel relaxed and energetic. Indeed, the more active we are, the more benefit we will get. By the way, whats the most popular type of exercise in America? Im curious to know something about it.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Li Hua

Recently a survey has been conducted on how much housework students share at home. The survey shows only 20 percent of the students do housework while 70 percent admit doing only at times. The rest never help with housework.
One reason contributing to this result is that students are fully occupied with their study. Admittedly, parents who give top priority to their childrens study are also to blame. They think nothing equals study during their childrens senior school years, thus doing all that they can do to ensure that their children devote every minute to their study.
Personally, its our duty to do our share of housework as we are a member of our family. Besides, education is definitely more than acquiring knowledge. Sharing housework is supposed to be a part of education, as it helps to build a sense of responsibility.
