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.

They organize the people to against China and Beijing Olympic in any place all over the world. Now most of the Chinese people hate the activists of the Tibet. They never thought they were the Chinese. They always want to be independent, they make the confusion, they try to prevent the torch relay, and they make the rumors all over the world. They make lots of foreign people in the other countries misunderstand the Chinese people and the government. Now we hear of some news reflects the situation in the foreign countries, such as the foreigners’ thoughts in their mind. But some of them believe the activities of the Tibet, they support to against Olympic Games in Beijing. This situation hurts the Chinese people. 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.

Zorbing

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

It’s really a kind of amazing sport, in Oxford English Dictionary, its definition is one conspicuous adrenaline sport. People forward in one big plastic ball, the people’s bodies are fixed in the box. Some people think it is really ridiculous. This sport has develop 15 years, more and more people began to like this sport, but this sport is always played in the country where is spacious and covered by grass.

I think it’s very stimulated and vey challenge to the youth, if your sport ability is not very well, you can’t bear the feeling in the big ball. Ah-ha, I think maybe it’s a kind of feeling when you falling into a deep well. You feel you are flying but do direction.

As I known, in China, they train pilots in this way. I feel so uncomfortable when I watch their training. But after I reading this article, I think it’s a interesting sport suddenly. Maybe I should have a try if I have the chance. It must be unforgettable experience.

Maybe someday I have the chance go to the universe, so I should play this game some day. The world is changing everyday. Who can say what will happen in the next second. So I should do more and more sport exercise, try some more extreme and adventure sports.

Adventure- Cycling around the world

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

Alstair Humphreys makes me excited very much, he took 4 years to travel around the world. There are so much things made me surprised, such as he didn’t spend too much money, he often earned some money by himself on the way. I like his life style very much. After his graduating from university, he want to do something valuable, he wish he needn’t work at once. He hopes his life is full of challenge, exciting things and beautiful views and wonderful moods. The route took him from England through Europe to turkey, then into the Middle East and all the way down Africa from Cairo to Cape Town. In fact he also came close to quitting a few times, but he kept going because I knew I’d live to regret it if he came home, he would stick through the lonely times.

 The reason which this article attracts me is I want travel around the world very much. The pressure and trouble in the life is really a lot, I want to go out to release myself. I like go out alone, I like observe the strangers in the strange cities or places. I image that one day I hold on the shoulder bag, take on the plane to go to another new place to take a big break.

 But I think that he is so bravely, he can take down all the things and spend more than 1500 days to have a long travelling. I don’t have the boldness to give up the chance to find jobs after graduating even take so long time to go far away. But I promise to myself, one day when I get an excellent job and have the ability to afford the travel. I will take my dream to go out, to see the world.
