Unit 2  We have played football for a year now.

Healthy living

1. I was not feeling very well so the doctor checked my heart and said I needed more exercise. I have never been very active, and I do not like sports. I have always wanted a pet, so my parents gave me a dog for my birthday. Now I get exercise by taking him for a walk every day. I have had him for three months now and I feel really healthy.   ----Anna  

2. Our teacher decided to start a girl’s football team and I thought, “What a great idea!” I was the first member of the team. We have played football for a year now and we all feel very fit. Our teacher is the coach, and she also takes part in the same training with us. She is in excellent condition too.                ---- Wang Wei  

3. For the last few years, I went to work by underground. When I got to work, I always felt very sleepy and I was not happy. I bought a bike in January. Since then, it has become part of my life. Now I ride to wok every day. It is my daily exercise. I arrive at work with a smile on my face.   ---- Thomas   

4. I was weak after a long illness, so I wanted to exercise more. Then a friend suggested, “Why don’t we go for a run before school?” So we started running a week ago. But I do not enjoy running, and when I get to school, I feel awful. My legs hurt and I am hot all over. Perhaps I am too weak to do any exercise. What do you think?

汉语译文:

1 我感觉很不舒服，所以医生给我检查了心脏,并且说我需要更多的锻炼。我从不非常活跃，我不喜欢运动。我一直想要一只宠物，所以我的父母给了我一条狗作为生日礼物。现在，我通过每天带他散步来运动。现在我已经养他三个月了，我感觉真的很健康。

2  我们的老师决定组建一支女子足球队，我认为：“多好的主意啊！”我是这支球队的第一位成员。现在我们已经踢足球一年了，我们都感觉很健康。我们的老师教练，并且她也和我们一起参加训练。她的身体状况也很好。

3  在过去的几年里，我坐地铁去上班。当我工作的时候，我总是感觉很困，并且我不开心。我在一月份买了一辆自行车。从那时起，它成了我生活中的一部分。现在，我每天骑自行车上班。它是我的每日锻炼.我脸上带着微笑去工作。

4 久病之后我很虚弱，所以我想多锻炼。然后一个朋友建议，“上学前我们为什么不跑跑步呢？”所以一周前我们开始跑步。但是我不喜欢跑步，而且当我到校的时候，我感觉不舒服。我腿疼而且全身都热。可能是我太虚弱了以至于不能做运动。你认为呢？
