Most of us have made an exercise plan, but only a few can follow it. WebMD(an American website) has listed the following tips for making exercise a habit in your life.

1.Do activities you enjoy.

Remember, there's no rule that says you have to go to a sports centre or buy equipment like swimming suits. Many types of activities, such as push﹣up(俯卧撑), can be done whenever it is rainy or snowy.

2.Exercise after work.

Don't go home first. Few people are so motivated(有动力的) that they will go out again and exercise after they go home and change clothes.

3.Exercise even when you are tired.

Tiredness is not an excuse. While exercising, you breathe deeply and your body makes better use of the oxygen exchange. Then, you will feel energetic.

4.Notice that you are better than before.

It's great when your clothes fit better, you can lift heavier things or take exercise longer. There's something good too, like getting a good night's sleep or thinking more clearly.

5.Walk with a pedometer(计步器)

Not everyone can start out with 10,000steps a day. Use a pedometer, and find out your daily steps. And then, try your best to walk 300extra steps each day. Finally, you can reach 10,000steps a day.

If parents can help. there will be fewer accidents.

On weekdays, guarding schools and keeping students safe should be the school's responsibility — not the parents'._______. the time when they have to guard is usually about 7:40 to 8 a.m., the morning rush hour. Some parents might get caught in a traffic jam and late for their work, I don't think this task should fall on the parents.

Final exams are just around the corner. Liu Haoxuan, 14, who studies at Beijing Dayu School, is quite busy. However, he still had to find time to practice his spoken English. That’s because he had to take a new English listening and speaking test.

Liu is not alone. This is a new test for all students who are taking senior high school entrance exams (中考) in Beijing. Junior 3 students have to take an English listening and speaking test that counts for 40 points on their full English exam. The test is taken on a computer. They can take the test twice – once in December and again in March – to try to get the higher score possible. The test was just introduced last year.

During the 30-minute test, students have to fill in blanks, answer questions and retell stories after listening to different materials. “It pushes us to speak. Though it was hard at the beginning, it’s a good thing,” Liu said. He got a low score when he first took it last semester. But he kept working hard in order to improve his pronunciation and other skills. He practiced speaking in front of a mirror every day. Later, he got a score of 39 on the test.

Liu Tianyou, 14, from Beijing Yuying Middle School, has his own way to prepare for the spoken English test. He uses apps to take practice tests every day. “The apps will score your performance so that you can improve accordingly,” he said. “Also, the practice tests help me learn to take notes properly. They help me grasp topic sentences and connection words.”
