Try to use what we have learnt including some words and expressions in this lesson to finish your writing.
(介绍;分享)
In the past, I had some unhealthy living habits. For instance, I often skipped breakfast, ate junk food, stayed up late and took little physical exercise. As a result, I became too fat and often fell ill.
Luckily, I became aware of the harm caused by unhealthy living habits. To keep fit, I determined to break away from these bad habits.First of all, I began to have a balanced diet. What’s more, I took exercise actively every day. Last but not least, I developed the habit of going to bed early and getting up early.
With time passing by,I feel much more dynamic and stronger than ever. I suggest other students get rid of their unhealthy lifestyle as soon as possible, because health is more valuable than anything else.
THANK YOU
