Last month， I went to Beijing on vacation with my parents and my little sister. The weather was sunny and hot. We stayed in Beijing for a week and had a lot of fun there. Jingshan Park is near our hotel. It was very quiet， and I took a walk there in the morning every day. We visited Tiananmen Square on the second day. It was very large. There were so many people on the square that I was afraid we might lose my sister. On the third day， we visited the Palace Museum. It was an exciting place and an eye opener. I learned a lot of history there. On the last day， we went to Beihai Park not far away from our hotel. It was really beautiful. I took lots of photos there.

I like watching talent shows. I want to be talented， too. Some of my classmates have talents. Last month， I asked some questions of them.

Jim is the best writer in my class. He is good at writing funny stories. Everyone else in my class likes to read his stories. They always make us laugh. He writes every day. Tom sings the most beautifully in the school. He won the singing competition last year. Every Monday and Friday， he practises singing with his brother. Jane is better at math than other students. She can always solve the hardest math problems in class. She really likes math and reads a lot of books about it when she is on vacation.

Now I find out why they are talented. They have one thing in common. They are all working hard and never give up.

Its easier to make a resolution than to keep it. At the beginning of this year， I made up my mind to improve my health. I promised myself that I was going to exercise more and eat less unhealthy food. To do this， I made a weekly plan to help me keep up. On the first day， I did everything I planned， and I felt very good. On the second day， I found myself a little tired when I got up， so I took a rest and didnt exercise that day. On the third day， I didnt even want to get up early as I planned. I went back to my old way of life and never took another look at my plan.

Now， this year is coming to its end. Im planning to learn to play the guitar next year. Maybe I need a partner to keep my resolution together.

There are 45 students in our class. 36 students say they like doing exercise. Most boys play basketball together twice a week. My friend， Tony， is good at running. He runs fastest in our class. Bob is good at swimming. He goes to the swimming club three times a month in winter， and three times a week in summer. So hes pretty healthy. Some of my classmates have good eating habits. 70% of them drink milk every day. 15 students say they drink milk three or four times a week. But some students like junk food; Sally is one of them. Whats worse is that she doesnt like doing exercise， so she is very fat. She always says， “Im going to do exercise tomorrow.”
