When my friend first suggested that we join the new Tai Chi Club at school,I hesitated. I always believed tai chi was for old people. After the first class, however, I had to admit that I had been wrong about tai chi. It was amazing! One year later, I can honestly say it has had a huge effect on me physically and mentally. Just as importantly, practising tai chi has inspired me to explore the Chinese culture behind it.
一开始,当朋友建议我们参加学校新成立的太极俱乐部时,我犹豫了。我过去一直觉得太极是老年人的运动。不过,上完第一节课后,我不得不承认,我之前对太极的认识是错误的。太极实在是太神奇了。一年后,我可以实话实说了,太极对我的身心都产生了巨大的影响。同样重要的是,练习太极还激励了我去探索其背后的中国文化。
