This article makes me think about the tennis lessons in our school. It’s an interesting and challenging sport. There’re so many things need to pay attention to.Absolutely-tennis is a gentle way of exercising for beginners, and for more advanced players is a very thorough workout. Physical activity increases energy and also helps you to stay healthy, fending off germs and infections. Playing one set of tennis would give you thirty minutes moderate physical activity, not to mention plenty of fresh air!When you learn to play tennis, there will be a lot of courts waiting for you. If the full court seems too big at first, play a scaled-down version of the game in the four service boxes of the court. As you start to become more confident you will start to use tactics. Hitting a ball that comes near to you is easier than running to hit a ball.

Once you have mastered these basic principle, try to play to the weakness of your opponent. This might be their forehand, backhand, volley, smash, or perhaps running to the ball. Exploiting your opponent’s weaknesses will help you to start controlling the game. Also remember to use your own strengths as much as possible. All the knowledge above, come from the experience I learned in the tennis class in our school.

Turkey hat-trick for Massa

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

I’m very interested in F1 since I’m a little child. I thought the uncles sitting in the car were so handsome when I was young. The cars are so fantastic for a little girl. I began to search the information about it, and realize them step by step.From those humble origins, Formula One racing was born, and over the years, it has grown to be one of the most popular sports in the world. It appeals to millions of fans, attracts a huge sponsorship and delivers champions who are as revered as Olympic medalists. Why? Because Formula One racing satisfies our fundamental need to push technology to its limits and to enjoy, even if vicariously, the thrill and excitement of high-speed travel.This article introduces you the hat-tricks during the competition. So in another word, it’s a very dangerous sport. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12433_3551062,00.html 

Pre-Game Warmups

Saturday, May 10th, 2008

Through the article, I realize that before the game, the athletes must warm up and it will realse the injury during the match. This article tells us that most of the coachers will deal with the problems well. If they have a competetion imediately, some coachers may pay more attention on one specific player.But it will influence the team work, the coacher must consider the situation and training plan through all the team.
The coach must remention all the athlete warm up before the competition. And they won’t injury during the match.
In my mind, there are a lot of things to prepare before the competition. After all the preparation, the athletes and the coacher will compete in the best situation.

Murray: ‘I will quit if I don’t get back in top 10′

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

I think that it’s a kind of spirit of sport competition. If I can’t get into the top I will quit the tennis game. In my mind, I think he is very brief, he can promise something which push him forward. I have never said one word such as his words. I afraid if I make a promise,there will be heavy pressure on me.I admire him very much, he tries his best to play tennis all the time, he never care the situation which he is in, even he met some trouble or problems, he never mind. He believes himself, the only thing he wants to do is playing tennis, playing and rushing to the top.“If I don’t feel I can do it, then maybe I will stop. I don’t think there is much fun in me playing the game otherwise. I think he live and compete in his wishes. He never force himself to do anything he don’t like.

His characteristic is so special. I like his character. In my life, there’re so many things that I really don’t want to do. But I can’t refuse. In another word, now I have already not be a child. I am 22. I have to face the pressure and problem myself, so I can’t do anything as I like, I have to consider about the others’ feelings.

From the article, I know that Canseco is a famous baseball player, he can earn a lot of money through his career. He earns millions of dollars each year. But he can’t afford his house’s payment. Through his introduce and explanation in the interview, we know that, although he earns a lot, he has to pay the government 40 percent. And then there’s nearly little money left for himself and his family, he even can’t afford the payment of the living.

From this article, I realize that the foreign athlete have a life which isn’t so easy as we imagine, they have a magnificent in the TV screen, but they have their problem and trouble which hide behind the screen. We should understand them in both situation.

In fact, China is a strong and harmonious country; all the Chinese people love their own motherland. They choose another way to express their emotion, they work hard, live in a healthy style, they don’t burden to the society.Now the entire student in the university is very angry about that, they active very quick, they call all the young people change their head portrait in the internet such as the MSN and QQ.
