　　Hi Grace,

　　How's it going? Sorry I haven't emailed for a while, but I had so much to do!

　　I had told you about my decision to take up a sport. I knew I wasn't fit and I wanted

　　who play sports do better at school. 86. Exercise also helps learning

　　and memory (記憶).

　　87. First, I tried soccer. I had played a bit of soccer before

　　and I thought it wouldn't be too bad. I knew I couldn't nm for very long without feeling

　　tire d. On the first day, I was able to nm for the first ten minutes, but then I was so tired

　　that I couldn't even kick the ball!

　　Then, I tried volleyball. 88. I was able to nm for the first twenty

　　minutes and I wasn't the slowest runner in the team! After a few weeks .I could run faster

　　and longer. I was doing better and feeling better. 89. Maybe I'm

　　not a team sport person after all!

　　Finally, I tried kung fu. It's a great sport that exercises the body and the mind. You learn to follow instructions carefully and do what you are asked to do. This is the fight sport for me! 90. I feel so confident that l even showed some moves to the class last week! Can you believe it?

　　I hope you're OK! Write and let me know what you've been doing!

　　Bye for now!
