　　life without music

　　to me, life without music would not be exciting. i realize that this is not true for everyone. many people get along quite well without any symphony concerts, jazz festivals or records. but music virtually 　plays a part in everyone’s life, whether he realizes it or not. try to imagine, for example, what movies or tv dramas would be like without music. the feelings and emotions, the complexities of the plot, and the climax would mot be exciting or dramatic.

　　now, we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning: the kind of music we hear in the concert hall. but if we look at the elements of music more closely, we discover them in our everyday life, too; the rhythm of the sea, the melody of a mockingbird, and the harmony of village chimes. so music surely has meaning for everyone, in some way or other. and, of course, it has special meaning for those who have dedicated their lives to its expression through composition and performance.

　　it is well said, “through music a child enters into a world of beauty, expresses his inmost self, tastes the joy of creating, widens his sympathies, develops his mind, soothes and refines his spirit and adds grace to his body.”

　　positive and negative aspects of sports

　　sports benefit us in many respects. when taking part in sports, we get the chance to train almost all parts of our bodies. there is no doubt that proper sports activities keep our physical fitness. furthermore, sports can enrich our life and maintain our psychological health. through participation, everyone can learn that on the playground he not only struggles for himself but also fights for his team. sports teach us about consideration, cooperation and optimism to failure.

　　but sports can do some harm to those people who cannot plan their activities properly. too hard training may hurt their bodies, exhaust their vigor, and even cause them to be sick.

　　in general, i love sports; enjoy sports. i feel that i not only gain a wellbalanced life through going in for sports, but also get more chances to move closer to nature. sports add happiness to my everyday life when i perform in a decent way.

　　sports in our country

　　sports are flourishing in our country now. table tennis is the most popular sport. school children start playing it when they are very young. not only is it played in school but it is also a favorite game for workers and people in other walks of life. in fact, it has become a sort of national game.

　　there are other favorite sports. for example, badminton is another popular sport, though it is not played as widely as table tennis. a number of chinese traditional sports such as taijiquan, wushu, swordplay and qigong, are no less popular. mention should be made of such ball games as football, basketball and volleyball.

　　in order to keep fit and win honor for our motherland, men and women, young and old, take an active part in sports. and our government takes effective measures to promote physical culture and build up our people’s health. more and more people go in for sports because sports can help them to build up a healthy body, to train a strong character and to raise the position of the nation in the world.

　　jogging is an ideal sport

　　that jogging is an ideal sport lies in the fact that it is a mild sport. unlike some sports, such as football and cricket, during which one may easily get hurt, jogging is very safe and especially suitable for those who are not so robust, you may feel exhausted after running because the energy in your body is released too fast, but after jogging you will just feel ok.

　　another reason for jogging being an ideal sport is that it has no limit of time or space. you can jog whenever and wherever you want. if it is raining outside, jogging can even be done in a spacious room. how long it lasts depends on your will. so you are less like to be influenced by such factors as time, weather and space when you are jogging.
