Exercise is a Good Habit

By Mei Mei

Exercise is a good habit for everyone’s health. We will preserve our body if we exercise twice or more every week. When we exercise we need to sweat heavily.

Don’t forget that doctors always advise us, “Don’t eat too much and don’t be too lazy. You need to take more exercise.” If you don’t follow this advice, you will become fat soon. Too much fat will bring sickness, so paying attention to your weight and keeping in shape is very important.

Now almost people like to drive or take the bus when they go out. But taking a walk is better for you. Exercise is especially good for older people. You can do it anywhere and anytime.

Usually, I wake up early, about six o’clock in the morning. Then I take a walk in the park or the area around my house. On the weekend, I often make a date with my friends to walk together in a park. There is a park near my house. It is just a five minute drive. There, the air is fresh and the trees are green. There is a circle at the center of the park. We like to walk and talk. We go around the circle several times.

Last Sunday, we heard some bad news from other people that often walk in the park. They said a few day ago, there was a woman who lived near here. She was going out her house to drive to work. Someone suddenly ran to her and grabbed her handbag. She was robbed! The neighbors heard her shouts. They went out quickly to help her and they called the police.

Everyone was scared by this crime. A lot of older people live near the park. It is very easy to be robbed there. So now we are very careful when walking.

It can be dangerous outside. One day, I was chatting with my older sister in the kitchen of our house. We were sitting by the window near the front door when suddenly we heard someone shout outside. We quickly opened the curtain and saw that my mother had fallen down on the ground by our front of door. A young guy who looked like he was about eighteen to twenty years old had knocked my mother down and taken her handbag from her arm. My mother was hurt. When he ran away, he also turned his head to look at us. At that moment, a black woman drove passed us. She tried to follow the robber by car and called the police. Neighbors helped us by translating our answers to the policeman’s questions because we don’t speak English fluently. Until now, we don’t know whether the guy has been caught

Most Chinese or Asia people don’t like to call the police when they have been robbed. The reason is “Don’t understand English”. But now the police say that they will find a translator for you no matter what language you speak. You can help the police to catch the robbers.

My mother has been robbed seven times. Let’s work together and put the bad guys into prison!
