Write a letter to the editor about your lifestyle.
给编辑写一封关于你生活方式的信。
Dear Editor尊敬的编辑,
After I attended your summer camp about health and lifestyle choices, I realised I hardly ever felt well, either physically or mentally.参加了你们举办的有关健康和生活方式选择的夏令营之后,我意识到我几乎从来没有感觉好过,无论在身体上还是心理上。
I often felt sleepy and dizzy, and lacked passion. 我经常感到昏昏欲睡和头晕目眩。
Most worrying, though, I got the flu easily and experienced many toothaches, too.不过最令人担忧的是,我很容易得流感,而且经常牙痛。
At the end of the camp I heard, "Change the world by changing yourself. " This stimulated my motivation. 在夏令营尾声,我听到“改变世界,从改变自己做起”这句话,这激发了我的动力。
A dentist once examined me and told me that too much sugar in my meals had damaged my teeth and health. 有次,牙医给我做检查时告诉我,我的三餐摄入了过量糖分,损害了我的牙齿和健康。
I made up my mind to change two things in my life: to eat nothing with sugar and to exercise regularly.我下定决心改变我生活中的两件事:不吃含糖的任何东西,定期锻炼身体。
After that I stopped buying all the sweets, biscuits, and sugary drinks that I used to have every day. 此后,我不再买我过去每天都要吃的糖果、饼干和含糖饮料。
Whenever I went out with friends, brought snacks from home, things that didn’t have any added sugar: fruit, nuts, dried meat, etc.每次和朋友们出去时,我都会从家里带零食,也就是没有添加任何糖分的东西:水果、坚果、肉干等。
My exercise was very simple: I went outside every day for at least 30 minutes and did something active. 我的锻炼很简单:我每天在室外积极活动至少30分钟。
Sometimes I played table tennis or badminton with my cousins. Other times I jumped on my skateboard and rode around my neighbourhood, or just took a long walk.有时,我会和堂(表)亲打乒乓球或羽毛球;有时,我会跳上滑板,在街区滑行,或是长时间散步。
The results have been fantastic. 结果棒极了。
I feel more dynamic and stronger than ever, in both body and mind. 在身心上,我感觉比以往任何时候都更有活力、更加强壮。
I sleep soundly at night now.
现在,夜里我能酣然入睡。
I no longer suffer from a flu virus or toothaches either. 我也不再受流感病毒或牙痛的折磨。
Best of all, in my opinion, is how I feel about myself. 我认为,最棒的是我对自己的感觉。
I feel like I'm in control of my own life. 我感到我能掌控自己的生活。
To make choices about myself is within my own power. 为自己作出选择是我力
