MY personal Health,physical Activity report
"Let's get it started! Ha~!" I often say this when I get ready to do something.
This winter holiday, with the requirement of physical activity, I was going to play basketball instead of doing nothing at home.
With the appointment with my classmates before, I came to school excitedly in the afternoon. To my surprise, Erik arrived even earlier than me, he was right here for about ten minutes. I hurried up to him, and started to play. Some time later, after the arrival of Charlie, Mike, Avery, we began to have some matches. However, the number of players is not on the average, so we called some other students who are just friends on basketball to play together. The game was scheduled to come after we warmed up by shooting and running around. Long before that, people had begun to reach here. The basketball fields were almost all taken up. The playground was like someone beating the drum. The noises of basketballs falling down fluttered in the air, flowing back and force…
After that, we two chosen teams ran out onto the field. The referee blew his whistle, and then the game started. A basketball game is divided into two halves, with a rest period between the halves. During the first minute of the second half, the score was tied. From then on, the game was very exciting. First we made a basket, then the rival. During the game, everybody inspire enthusiasm and rushed around in the small area actively. The wind cheered like audiences, and made the intense competition to the climax. Can everybody wonder which team was going to win? The ball hit the rim of the basket and seemed to hang there for a moment, and then it fell through the hoop. The whistle blew, and the game was over. We won!
I begin to play basketball when I was in elementary school. Although I had learnt to play it at a very young age, I made no evident progress during that time. It seems that only until last time I realized the interest of it: playing basketball is not only playing it, but put your heart in it. Frequently, I played it when my mood was not so good, but after doing some sports, I would feel much better.
In my spare time, I prefer to watch NBA. I think the spirit of NBA should be: emit your passion with your brave heart. From this perspective, I prefer even admire Jordan. I dream that one day I can also become a brave man, and I can face with all kinds of obstacles and frustrates confidently. This is my thought derived from this interesting sport and there is no doubt that I will love this sport more and more when time goes by.

Fighting! Fighting!
——It was one of the matches among my friends, but I think it was such a profound conversation between basketball and I. In winter holiday, basketball is such a good sport to make our body stronger, and I also learned about the spirits of sports on the other hand. I am fond of this game. During the next holidays, I play basketball to Strong my physique, and also the sport itself tells me to insist my way to success, never, never give it up! As a competitor, I know how to decide my own manner, then I can easily solve the problem or figure out solutions by my way; as one of the defense, I realize how to correct mistake and have a necessary experience of group work. Sometimes, it's really tough for us to do a excellent job on study, but we can have an energetic body by training, by exercising. To do sports is a suitable way to stretch our bodies and relax our minds when we are boring of homework, on the other hand, to work effectively must base on a strong body at least. So we absolutely need it, our lives need it. As the end, I quote an proverb to finish: “The art of life lies in taking pleasures as they pass.” —— Francis Bacon

MY School Club，Organization report
“Badminton is a well-known sport around the world. In order to beat your opponent in badminton, you would have to be better at the fitness components compared to your opponent. The important fitness components important to badminton are Speed + Agility and Muscular Endurance.” ——Claude
I was only 6 when I first got hold of a badminton racket in summer. I was hitting the shuttlecock quite well when an older man (in his 20s) played opposite me. The wind was against me and I had to hit the bird harder. Then he stretched forth his racket hand and smashed the bird towards me. All of a sudden, the world turned black. The shuttlecock went straight into my right eye. I thought I was going to be blind. I cried. And for days, I vowed revenge. But I could no longer remember his face, for it was the first and only time I saw the guy.
Fortunately, my eye was not blind. After a long time curing in the hospital, I was discharged from hospital.
Badminton was just either a backyard or a street game for my parents back in the early 90’s. They told me that neighbors played in their yard or in the streets with cheap rackets. Girls, including the maids, loved the game. They think it was so sissy of us to play with them. No jump smash, no drives, no tricks. We were just hitting the cheap plastic bird to our delight. It was the pure fun in those days.
I continued playing badminton——
Then in my elementary school, the boys started to play the game, outnumbering the girls. After class, I joined the training. We hit the bird hard, and tried every smash and every trick. The goal was to keep the bird within the boundary and to hit the opponent very hard. So I mastered my defense, having experienced the pain of being hit in the eye a year before. We also improved our lift, lifting the bird higher than the coconut trees. It was really, really delightful.
Now I took part in the school intramurals. With only my knowledge in backyard, I just tried to try my best. Then I joined the badminton club in GCA. I was out to prove my strength.
On every Wednesday, I played with the members. After sports, my badminton friends were talking about the secrets I won. What is it in the street game that helped me improve my game? I showed them these skills they have never learned and experienced:
Control We were playing with an imaginary net. The street lines served as our boundaries, so we had to control the shuttle to keep it in.
Drives In an open space, sometimes we played against the wind. So we had to hit the bird hard. Lift. Aiming to hit higher than the coconut trees strengthened our wrists. Smash. To be able to hit our opponents, we had to smash them hard and in the area where their defense was weak. We usually target the backhand side.
Defense To defend ourselves from those killer drives and smashes, we had to be on the proper stance and racket position. I knew what it is to be hit on the eye. Footwork We kept on running in our imaginary court. The right footwork made it easy for us to cover all corners.
Placing Since my opponents ran faster than me in an open field, I had to properly place my shots to all corners to get that precious point.
I played better and better. Because of the conflict between my classes and the matches, it was such a pity to miss the games. On the other hand, I go on playing badminton, I learned the spirit in sports. I am fond of this game.

Volunter Work in the bookstore
During this winter holiday, I finished my volunteer work in Phoenix International Bookstore on Shan Xi Road with Tim in 10-D. With a whole view of the bookstore, I considered it was the largest bookstore I have ever seen. The tall building is clearly made of glass, which seemed to be something like a shrine to the readers. From the transparent windows, we can translucently see that it has five floors. With my curiosity, I went into the bookstore. Certainly, it includes a huge amount of varied books, such as novels, biographies, fairy stories, textbooks, and even books in original English...However, this bookstore is unlike our impressions of common bookstores like Xinhua bookstore, with its large area, there are audio and video store, animation shop, musical instrument store, even Starbucks Coffee. What a fun place I visited! ~
First walking around it, I noticed the signs of directions which can tell how and where to find one's wanted books. After the arrangement of our job, I found my way to my working place, an electric dictionary and study machine counter by the useful sign. With no experience, I might be directly acquainted with the knowledge about the machine. After finishing the learning, I felt it was really boring to stand there for five hours because there was not much customs looking around for the dictionaries. Chatting was a good way to count one's thumbs. So I talked with the counter girl. In my daily study, I always check my e-dictionary. So I'm very familiar to the functions, but mine is different brand. As she talking about the machine, she also introduced me some other advanced things. Something called Ozing Children Study Machine attracted me. It can read the words you touch from any textbooks. Many things are involved; I cannot show all details...
Truly felt, standing for two and a half hours in the counter was such a tough and terrible thing. I could not move any more, and my legs were too achy. ~Oh, how to pass the boring time!~ Suddenly, I saw that next to our counter, there is the place selling musical instruments. I rushed to Tim, and asked to rest for a few minutes. As an expert on playing piano, Tim went to enjoy himself. With his music, my musical elements were stimulated. I played my guitar as soon as Tim was playing piano. I realized that so many people were reading around us. Our music brought them a peaceful environment. Kids and some customers were all enjoying it. After playing for a while, Tim and I both felt that the temperature was really high in the giant bookstore. So we went down to the ground floor at once, getting enough money together to buy a cup of icy Starbucks coffee. Then, hot body was waked up by the frozen drink. After hard work, though the process was painstaking, we paid out. The green tea frappuccino blend cream was really delicious, because sweating was delightful.
From the volunteer work in Phoenix International Bookstore, I learned a lot about the management of a bookstore. Realistically, I also knew that everything is not such a piece of cake, we must pay our effort. My volunteer work in a bookstore, ha-ha ~I'm Lovin' It.
