Well, some do it simply for fun. But for most, it’s a way to make money. If people love their performance, they often give the performers some money. Really good performers have also got a problem. Because they perform very well, people may just pass them, thinking they’re real statues. So now the performers let themselves make small movements (动作). The performers may have some tricks (小把戏) to make people give them money. If someone gives them some money, they may lift a hat, hand over a flower or reach out their hand to touch the person. 1.

But if you have fun with your exercise or study, you’ll keep doing it longer. If you can only drink your favourite juice during study hours or watch your favourite TV show after finishing your homework, you’ll look forward to studying. It is not easy for us students to keep a New Year plan, and this talk will surely give us some help. Remember: Only 100 seats in the hall; first come, first served; bring your student card to get in.
