Homework
参照下文，写一篇作文，表达你对这件事的看法。
Some people think that the school curriculum should include subjects such as ‘leading a healthy lifestyle’. Write an essay in which you give your own opinion on this issue and propose ways in which this subject might be taught in schools.
[A] If we can believe recent reports in the press, many teenagers are overweight and unfit. Some people argue that teaching children at school about a healthy lifestyle would help to solve this problem.
[B] In my view, it would be very sensible to teach students how to lead a healthy lifestyle. Health problems later in life often start because people get into bad habits during their teenage years. It is sometimes said that this is the responsibility of the parent and not the school. But as I see it, everyone in society would benefit from this.
[C] In order to tackle this problem, time should be set aside in the school timetable to teach children about the benefits of eating healthily and getting lots of exercise. Moreover, doctors could also play a part by coming into school and talking to students. I suggest that one or two hours a week should be spent on this topic.
[D] To sum up, I agree with those people who believe that healthy living should be taught in schools. It seems to me that the students themselves and society in general would benefit from this proposal.
Writing exercise
I went to a photography exhibition two years ago, those photos had connection with me. The first one i think it is suffocating, though she has many dreams or want to do more things, but she binded herself and she looks down. The second one is like that girl is chasing her dream. It is more colourful than the first one. The final picture represents that she is laying a horse without any dressing. She looks dont have any pressure, she was enjoying those times
I went to a photography exhibition two years ago. I felt deeply connected with the photos./I very much resonate with those photos.
In the first photo, the two women’s body looked tight/they were holding themselves tightly, as if there was some kind of pressure on them. I think the first one is suffocating, though she has many dreams or wants to do more things. I think this photo is about a woman who wants to achieve something but feels constrained.
The second photo has many colors, in it, a girl is spreading/sprawling out her limbs, looking like she is chasing her dream.
The final picture represents that she is laying on a horse naked. She doesn’t looks like she has have any pressure, she was enjoying that time.
