We have a two-day holiday every week. We don’t have any lessons on Saturdays or Sundays, so every weekend I have a good time.

On weekends, I like taking a trip. I sometimes go to the country with my classmates by bus to breathe(呼吸)the fresh air, watch the green hills and the blue sea, and walk in the beauty of the countryside. Sometimes I go for a picnic in the open air with my friends by bike. There we draw many pictures and take photos. Sometimes I go to visit a place of interest with my parents by car.

Sometimes on Saturdays, I take a long trip with my parents. We don’t go home at night and make a fire on the hill. We sit around it, singing and dancing happily. If we feel tired, we get together, look at the stars and chat for a long time, and then sleep for a few hours.

My weekends are always full of interest and happiness.

It is very important to stay healthy. I have a neighbor. She is an old lady. She can do all the housework,   41   newspapers, watch TV and search on the Internet to learn something new. I often see   42   do taijiquan in the morning and dance in the evening. She looks young and beautiful   43   she is over seventy. Last week a reporter from a magazine interviewed her and asked   44   she kept so young and healthy. She replied with a smile:

    I have a secret of staying young and healthy. It is quite   45   . Keep your mind active, take an interest in the world   46   you, and learn at least one new thing every day. Try to do different kinds of housework and do sports as   47   you can. Don’t think you are too old to go back to   48   . I know a man who entered a medical college when he was 70 years old. He studied there for 6 years and now he is a doctor. Another man went to a tennis school at the age of 71 and now he is good at   49   tennis. Some people may say staying young is easy only for those who live in the future. In fact, no matter how old you are, you can make it.

    Please tell the story to your family. It would be a good start to   50   the lady’s example. I hope all people will stay young and healthy.
