Imagine you are tired after a challenging week at school.You have got lots of homework and only a few hours of free time.What would you do?

It is often hard to get up and keep moving when we feel tired.However,these days,we spend a lot of time sitting and studying.While our brains are tired,our bodies are not necessarily as tired as we think.

We all know that physical exercise is good for our bodies.It helps us keep a healthy weight and can prevent us from getting ill.Exercise is good for our minds too.When we exercise,our brains produce chemicals called endorphins,which enhance our mood and make us happy.

Exercise also gives us various opportunities that improve our sense of well-being.We get the chance to meet and interact with both our old and new friends.We can play as part of a team and feel valued.

Don’t worry if you are not a sporty person.Even a little bit of gentle exercise can uplift your spirits.You can walk or cycle to school instead of taking the bus.Do stretches in the morning or meet a friend at the park for a fun game.You don’t have to be a good athlete to get the benefits of exercise!

Tasks

1.What activities do you choose when you feel tired or unhappy?

2.Why is physical exercise good for our bodies?

文章的體裁是回復信件，開頭要加上恰當?shù)姆Q呼，使信件結構完整。因此，開篇可使用“Thank you for writing to me.It is a great pleasure to...”的句型點明寫信的目的。

文中談論的主要是小作者自己的經歷，用一般過去時態(tài)更符合主題要求。

信件結尾可以增加與筆友的互動，如“How did you deal with it? I am looking forward to your reply.”等。

文章字數(shù)不達標。整篇文章的結構不夠清晰，沒有形成內容之間的主次關系。

Dear Erick:

Thank you for writing to me.It is a great pleasure to share with you my experiences.

In the past,I had so much homework that I had to stay up late to complete it.This situation made me feel worried and stressed from time to time.Then I chose to spend more time on my homework.But this strategy didn’t work well.Later,I asked my teacher,Miss Huang,for help.She told me to finish my exercises carefully and go over what I have learned as often as possible.

Now I work harder than before and often ask the teachers different questions related to my studies.I am happy that I have made significant progress in every subject.

What about you? How did you deal with your prolems? I am looking forward to your reply.

Best wishes!
