"Let's go wrestling,Dad!" 《摔跤吧,爸爸》is one of the Top 10 movies recently. It tells a true story about an Indian man and his two daughters. His name's Mahavir. In real life, he is called"the father of Indian women wrestling", because thousands of girls across India have been supported to take up wrestling with his efforts.
A very famous Indian actor﹣Amir Khan,played the role of Mahavir in the movie. It was an unusual experience for him to play this role. Amir Khan was very serious about his character and tried to make this character close to the true story. In order to act well,he needed to put on weight to be very fat and then do sports to be very strong in a short time.
Amir Khan started to eat a lot every day before making the movie. He ate at least 5 meals a day including much junk food. He became too fat to run quickly.
It is simple to be fat but difficult to be strong. Amir Khan invited many coaches to train him to lose weight and it took him a few months to be strong. He must eat less and drink more. Strengthtraining is also important. This kind of physical training is very boring. He had to lift different weight and do it over and over again. Amir Khan set a goal to himself day by day and the minute he made it, he fell down on the ground and could hardly stand up. In the end, he became the exact person the movie needs.
The role he played was very moving and he succeeded at last.As he says, the most important thing in life is not whether you can reach your goal but whether you have made greatest efforts.

Doris has written a restaurant review on the Internet.
Excellent English food at the Country House
Last Saturday night,my family and I ate at the Country House.
The Country House serves traditional English food,we paid about 15 to 20 pounds a person to eat
there.
The food was wonderful.The fish pie reminded me of my grandma.She used to cook it for me.I also
had some fish and chips,and it was fantastic.
The waiters were polite,but a little slow.We were seated at 7 p.m.,but we did not receive our food
until 7:40 p.m.
I would certainly recommend the Country House for good,traditional English food.However,you should get there early and be prepared to spend a lot of time waiting for your food.

Children with no shoes on do better at school than those with shoes on,a study suggests.
For over 10 years,researchers from universities observed (观察) children in 100 schools from 25 countries.They found that classrooms were quieter when children took off their shoes.It provided a quieter environment where pupils were more willing to focus on study than those with shoes on.
"Children are much more willing to sit on the floor and relax if they have no shoes on,"said professor
Stephen Heppel,a lead researcher.
"The last place a child would sit to read is an upright chair.And we've found that 95% of them really don't read on a chair at home,"Heppel added."When they go on holidays,they read lying down."
