If you are new to running, here is some advice for you– it is important to warm up and cool down properly before and after running, so you do not hurt yourself. A warm-up gets your blood flowing and prepares your body before you exercise. After a long run, you should jog slowly for ten minutes, then walk for five minutes. Such kind of warm-down relaxes your body after exercise.

1. 不定代词的定义
英语中不明确指代某个(些)人、某个(些)事物的代词被称为不定代词。由some-, any-, no-, every-加上-one, -body, -thing组成的代词叫复合不定代词。
As the two dictionaries are useful, I’ll take both and either of them is very important to us.
由于这两本词典都很有用,所以我都要,而且这两本词典对我们都很重要。
Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
世上无难事,只怕有心人。

My Favorite Sport: Swimming
I'm passionate about swimming—a sport needing nothing but a swimsuit and goggles!
Its benefits amaze me:It strengthens the immune system, builds full-body strength, and makes your heart stronger with low injury risk. Gliding through water relieves tension instantly—something about the rhythm calms my mind like nothing else!
It is advised for beginners to start with 20-minute sessions. Stretch arms/legs for 5 minutes to get blood flowing.In addition,always swim with someone nearby. Never overdo it!
