Leisureactivities，suchaswatching television，listening to music and traveling，are good for our health.

Nowadays，many people work every day without enough relaxation and leisure activities.It is the unhealthy lifestyle that I do not recommend.I believe that people should do more activities and try to keep a balance between work and leisure.We，as students，should not sit at our desks and do homework all the time.Instead，we have to find some time for leisure activities such as walking and chatting with our friends.We can also play basketball，football，or pingpong with our friends.These sports and leisure activities can help us keep fit and maintain a good mood.Then we can focus on our studies.

It was a great honor that I had a chance to take part in a singing contest in our schoollast week.

There were ten competitors in our contest and I was the last one to sing.I was very nervous when I was waiting for my turn to sing because the other competitors all sang well.However，I tried my best to calm down myself.Finally，I won the second prize in the singing contest.Some of my classmates thought that the singing contest could improveourself-confidencewhileothers thought that it wasted our study time.

If I have an opportunity to join in a television singing contest，I will take it because it is good for me to improve my singing skill.
