When I felt my chest was a little cold, I jumped into the water and began to swim. ⑥I kept on swimming for about twenty minutes until I felt a little tired. I stuck to doing so every day during the whole holiday.
Doing sports every day during the winter holiday has brought me great benefits. Thanks to it, now ⑦Im stronger and health?

【权威点评】
这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己在寒假时进行体育运动的经历和感受。
文章首先介绍人们辞旧迎新、欢度春节的情景。然后笔锋一转,以“欢度佳节的同时亦要进行体育运动”来引出下文(叙述锻炼的时间及运动带来的好处)。
行文中,作者在尽量使用简单句和并列句的同时,又巧妙地运用了一些高级词汇、固定词组及高级句型。例如:
①while I was celebrating the Spring Festival (表示与另一动作同时发生的时间状语从句)
②I spent about two hours in running and swimming (表示“花时间做某事”的结构)
③stretching my arms while walking (现在分词短语作伴随状语)
④whether it rained or snowed (表示“无论是……还是……”的让步状语从句)
⑤It took me about twenty minutes to get there (表示“做某事花了多长时间”的句型)
⑥I kept on swimming for about twenty minutes until I felt a little tired (表示“不停地做某事,直到……”的句型)
⑦Im stronger and healthier than before (比较级句型)
另外,say goodbye to、as for、do sports、keep on、from the very beginning of、put on、stick to和thanks to等经典短语的运用,提升了文章的档次。
