　 Hi Grace,

　 How's it going? Sorry I haven't emailed for a while, but I had so much to do!

　 I had told you about my decision to take up a sport. I knew I wasn't fit and I wanted

to get some exercise. But that wasn't the only reason that I decided to do a sport. Students

who play sports do better at school. 86. 　　　　　　　　Exercise also helps learning

and memory (記憶).

87.　　　　　　　　　 First, I tried soccer. I had played a bit of soccer before

and I thought it wouldn't be too bad. I knew I couldn't nm for very long without feeling

tired. On the first day, I was able to nm for the first ten minutes, but then I was so tired

that I couldn't even kick the ball!

　 Then, I tried volleyball. 88.　　　　　　　　 I was able to nm for the first twenty

minutes and I wasn't the slowest runner in the team! After a few weeks .I could run faster

and longer. I was doing better and feeling better. 89.　　　　　 　 Maybe I'm

not a team sport person after all!

　 Finally, I tried kung fu. It's a great sport that exercises the body and the mind. You learn to follow instructions carefully and do what you are asked to do. This is the fight sport for me! 　90. 　　　　　　　　　I feel so confident that l even showed some moves to the class last week! Can you believe it?

　　 I hope you're OK! Write and let me know what you've been doing!

　　 Bye for now!

　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Kristie

　　 When I crossed a small road on my first day in Kolkata, I was surprised because I heard a bell-not a horn (喇叭), It was a tiny man pulling a rickshaw, He stopped and picked up two children from the front door of their house and pulled them to school. For many people, the rickshaw in Kolkata has many advantages, When the traffic is bad, rickshaws find a way through the traffic. If your miss your bus and there aren't any taxis, you can always find a rickshaw in Kolkata. Rickshaws are from your house to the market and waits for you.

　 But not everyone thinks rickshaws are a good thing. The local government want to ban rickshaws.
