As a girl, I've spent a great deal of my time on earth concerned about my weight. So I do know something about exercise. Let me tell you about the calorie-burning activities I've tried or will try.
Salsa (萨尔萨舞)
I try to maintain my weight through dancing. Dancing improves my coordination and sense of rhythm in addition to burning calories. I'm personally interested in salsa, which I find sexy and expressive(有表现力的). But I have not yet to start classes, because classes are very expensive, and I cannot find a dance partner.
Ping-Pong
Ping-pong is the national sport of China, so how could I know nothing about it?
My father is a ping-pong fan, and a really good player. He's won several informal (非正式的) matches. My relationship with ping-pong has always been on-and-off. I'll get into it for a while, and then lose interest. The reason is because I can’t find a good partner. Some stronger can depress you, while someone weaker (or just as weak) can make the game boring.
Tae Kwon Do （跆拳道）
I've recently decided to try tae kwon do as my regular exercise activity. There’s a story behind this choice: A few weeks ago, I was sitting on a bus, concentrating on a book. Suddenly, the bus became very quiet except for the sound of a woman’s crying. I looked up to see what had happened and overheard whispers that she had just quarreled with a man, and the man slapped(拍打) her face. No one on the bus dared say anything because the man looked really strong. Even now I feel ashamed I was among the silent.
That’s why I've made up my mind to learn something that will help me protect others and myself.

Once we moved into a new house and had to go shopping to buy new chairs and lights. In the supermarket, I’m interested   42   some of the beautiful lights with good qualities and made my father buy them.

When we got home, my father began to work out how much money we had   43   that day. Suddenly, he stopped. “Something’s wrong.” he said. “I’ve got 30 yuan   44   than I should!” “That’s great,” I said. “You can buy me that   45   book I want.”

Father said nothing. Instead, he counted（数） how much money he had again and again.

“The salesgirl must have made a mistake. We   46   go back to the shop,” he said.

“Do you have to go back?” I asked. “Nobody will know we   47   too much change(找零). It would be foolish to go back.”

“It wouldn’t be ‘foolish’.” my father said angrily. “It’s called being   48   .” At that moment, I looked into his eyes and knew he was right.

The salesgirl was surprised to see us in the shop again. But   49   we gave her the money, she thanked us a lot.

On my way home, my father stopped me   50   smiled. “Do you still want that cartoon book?” he asked. I looked at my “foolish” father and answered loudly, “Father, you are the greatest!”
