Walking is a popular form of exercise. It is an easy activity and offers a good way to improve physical fitness. Walking also gives many of the same benefits as other kinds of exercise.
Regular, brisk walks help a person's body work better. Walking builds a stronger heart and lungs. Walking also seems to help protect the heart from heart disease. The lungs work better because they take in and use oxygen more effectively. Walking can help in weight control, too. A quick fifteen-minute walk burns as many calories as jogging the same distance in half the time. Walking causes very injuries, so there is also a lower "dropout" rate among walkers than among runners.
People are more likely to continue a walking program. This gives a better chance for success. Walking offers some mental benefits, too. It seems to make people feel better. Many walkers say they sleep better at night when they take regular walks. Others say they have a better attitude towards life. Walking offers many of the same physical and mental benefits as other forms of exercise, but walking offers some special advantages, too. Almost everyone can walk. There are no special lessons or training. To become a real walker, a person only needs to walk faster, farther, and more often.
People can walk almost anywhere. There are no special playing fields or courts for walking. Sidewalks, streets, parks, fields, and malls are excellent places for walking. People can walk almost anytime. A person doesn't need a team or a partner for walking. There is no "season" for walking. Most walkers walk in all kinds of weather.
Walking doesn't cost anything. There are no special fees for walking. Good walking shoes and comfortable clothes are the only equipment that a walker needs.

Have you ever visited the Forbidden City？ This year is its 600th birthday． It is the world's largest palace and has over 17 million visitors every year． But if we traveled back to the past， we probably wouldn't be allowed inside．

During those times， the Forbidden City was where the country's supreme power （最高权力） could be found． Emperors were born， lived， fought and died there． It saw the highs and lows of the Ming and Qing dynasties， and it plays a very important part in Chinese history．
The cultural relics （遗物） and documents （文件） in the palace show how the royal families lived． They are still used today for historical research， as well as inspiration for literature （文学） and entertainment （娱乐）．
In 1987， the Forbidden City was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site．For world leaders who visit China， it has become a must﹣see．In 2017，when US President Donald Trump paid a state visit to China，President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan welcomed Trump and his wife there．

My favorite book is the Little Prince written by the French writer Antoine．The book tells about how children see the world． It's so interesting that I can't help reading it over and over again．
The prince is kind and innocent （天真无邪的），so he doesn't understand why people want to have power， wealth and praises so much．He flew to different planets to find the answer， but finally he still had no idea． In fact， he also had his own problems． In the past， he fell in love with a red rose that was beautiful but vainglorious （自负的）． Later， he left the rose because of her vanity （自负）．On the earth，he made friends with a fox． They lived together for some time，but in the end he made up his mind to leave to find his rose． To his surprise，the rose was dead，and the planet was full of monkey bread trees．It's a pity that he lost his rose forever．
In my opinion， I think he should value the friendship with the fox， because， after all， the rose was dead．The friendship is important as well．The story is about friendship，love and humanity（人性）．It's helpful for us students to think more about the world． So let's open it and take a great journey along with the little prince．
