One of the easiest ways to keep healthy is to do jogging. Jogging is the name for a very gentle running--it is just a little faster than walking.

    Start slow jog 20 meters, then walk 20 metres. Little by little, if you are not feeling very tired, you may do more jogging and less walking. Finally, jog the whole day. It will be easy for you to start jogging for 15 minutes twice a week, slowly, increase (增加) this to 20--30 minutes every day. The longer you join in jogging, the more you enjoy it, and the healthier you will become. Some people like jogging alone(独自地), and others enjoy doing it with friends. Jogging in groups makes people more active, because you can not stay in bed while there is a group of friends waiting outside.

     If you want to start jogging, you need a pair of comfortable shoes and a determined mind(坚定的决心).

Studying in groups is becoming more and more popular in class. It has many advantages. For example, we can not only save time but also encourage each other when we study in groups.

I still remember when I was in Grade 8, my physics was very poor, I had a really hard time with it. Once in class, the teachers asked us to discuss it with each other, but I was very shy, I could not do it like what they told me. My physics teacher encouraged me to face others and talk with someone else bravely, then I studied with some classmates together. When I did not understand any questions, they could give me some advice, I could quickly find out the ways to deal with the problems. After that, I felt very relaxed and asked my classmates a lot of questions about physics. I did not feel stressed out at all. At last, I finished my homework by myself for the first time. How excited I was!                 

Because of studying in groups, I am not worried about physics any more. With my classmates’ help ,I get more confidence. It also gives me more chances to improve myself in many ways. So let’s study more in groups.

Take a class at Dulangkou School, and you’ll see lots of things different from other schools, You can see the desks are not in rows（排）and students sit in groups. They put their desks together so they’re facing each other. How can they see the blackboard? There are three blackboards on the three walls of the classroom!
The school calls the new way of learning “Tuantuanzuo”, meaning sitting in groups. Wei Liying, a Junior 3 teacher, said it was to give students more chances to communicate.
Each group has five or six students, according to Wei, and they play different roles（角色）.There is a team leader who takes care of the whole group. There is a “study leader”who makes sure that everyone finishes their homework. And there is a discipline（纪律）leader who makes sure that nobody chats in class.
Wang Lin is a team leader. The 15-year-old said that having to deal with so many things was tiring.
“I just looked after my own business before,”said Wang. “But now I have to think about my five group members.”
But Wang has got used to it and can see the benefits（好处）now.
“I used to speak too little. But being a team leader means you have to talk a lot. You could even call me an excellent speaker today.”
Zhang Qi, 16, was weak in English. She used to get about 70 in English tests. But in a recent test, Zhang got a grade of more than 80.
“I rarely（很少） asked others when I had problems with my English tests. But now I can ask the team leader or study leader. They are really helpful.”
