Dear Editor,
After I attended your summer camp about health and lifestyle choices, I realised I hardly ever felt well, either physically or mentally.I often felt sleepy and dizzy①, and lacked passion.Most worrying, though, I got the flu② easily and experienced many toothaches, too.
At the end of the camp I heard, “Change the world by changing yourself.” This stimulated③ my motivation.A dentist④ once examined me and told me that too much sugar in my meals had damaged my teeth and health.【1】 I made up my mind to change⑤ two things in my life:to eat nothing with sugar and to exercise regularly.
【1】句中that 引导宾语从句。
After that I stopped buying all the sweets, biscuits, and sugary⑥ drinks that I used to have every day.Whenever I went out with friends, I brought snacks from home, things that didn't have any added sugar: fruit, nuts⑦, dried meat, etc.【2】
【2】whenever 引导时间状语从句,things 为snacks的同位语,that 引导定语从句,修饰things.
My exercise was very simple: I went outside every day for at least 30 minutes and did something active.Sometimes I played table tennis or badminton with my cousins.Other times I jumped on my skateboard⑧ and rode around my neighbourhood, or just took a long walk.
The results have been fantastic.I feel more dynamic⑨ and stronger than ever, in both body and mind.I sleep soundly at night now.I no longer suffer from a flu virus⑩ or toothaches either.
