But now, I want to change and build some confidence. Because I think ballet is basic practice, it’s suit for me. It’s difficult. One class will have 10 or 20 people. I have learnt ballet two years. I think ballet can improve my posture. When I was young and in middle school, I already taller like now so due to I have this incorrect posture. My ballet class have more older people. They are very excited. I knew a student because we are same age and she also want to change her posture. If I dance better, I want to try.

Writing exercise

As the time goes by, people’s priority will change, because in different age we have different duty and identity. For example , when I was a baby, my duty was healthily growing up. When I was a student, I should pay attention on studying. In the past few years, I spent more time at school but in fact I didn’t study hardworking and I always imagined when I graduate and become an adult, I will be free, I can do anything that I want to do and I wouldn’t stay at school any more. However, now I think It’s so foolish,if I had study working ,I would have more better chance to choose. When I graduated, I need to make money to support myself, I need to get along with my colleague and so on. In conclusion, in different life stage we will have different priorities, we should make a right choose as much as possible.
