gradually making progress and my performance improved .i can`t say that i am
actively involved in sport and gymnastics in particular, but it is a pleasure

health.If you want to be in perfect shape,you should spend much time
outdoors To keep fit, one should take some exercise and eat a healthy diet.My
mom is a healthy eating fan ,so I eat much fruit and vegetables

There`s no solution! I guess a few simple changes to your life can really help
the environment.For example:we can avoid wasting water by turning the tap off
while brushing teeth.It is more economical to fill the sink for washing up
rather than leaving the tap runing.Then,we can stop creating so much rubbish if

19.English is more widely spoken and
written than any other languages has ever been , it has become the language of
the planet .Will it remain an international language in the future ?
English is the language of the planet. English is an international
language because millions of people all over the world speak it as a mother
tongue. Second, English is the main language of business, of sports, the
language of computers and the world's mail. However, there are opponents of
this view who believe that Chinese will be the language of international
communication because China is becoming the country of great opportunity.
Besides, to speak Chinese is Top Fashion today. I don't agree with them because
Chinese is more difficult to learn than English. So English will remain the
language of international communication.

sisters but our relationship is getting worse at the moment because we are all
