五彩生活勇于尝试Trying Sth. New

As a girl, I've spent a great deal of my time on earth concerned about my weight%26#46; So I do know something about exercise%26#46; Let me tell you about the calorie-burning activities I've tried or will try%26#46;

Salsa
　　One of my friends recommended I try to maintain my weight through dancing%26#46; Sounds good, as dancing improves coordination and sense of rhythm in addition to burning calories%26#46; I'm personally interested in salsa, which I find sexy and expressive%26#46; But I have yet to start classes, because (A) classes are very expensive, and (B) I cannot find a dance partner%26#46;

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%26#46; He's won several informal amateur matches%26#46;

　　My relationship with ping-pong has always been on-and-off%26#46; I'll get into it for a while, and then lose interest%26#46; The reason is because I can’t find a good partner%26#46; Some stronger can depress you, while someone weaker (or just as weak) can make the game boring%26#46;

Tae Kwon Do
　　I've recently decided to try tae kwon do as my regular exercise activity%26#46;

　　There’s a story behind this choice: A few weeks ago, I was sitting on a bus, concentrating on a book%26#46; Suddenly, the bus became very quiet except for the sound of a woman crying%26#46; I looked up to see what had happened and overheard whispers that she had just quarreled with a man, and the man slapped her face%26#46; No one on the bus dared say anything because the man looked really strong and mean%26#46; Even now I feel ashamed I was among the silent%26#46;

　　That’s why I've made up my mind to learn something that will help me protect others and myself%26#46;
