Hi Grace,
How's it going? Sorry I haven't emailed for a while, but I had so much to do!
I had told you about my decision to take up a sport. I knew I wasn't fit and I wanted
to get some exercise. But that wasn't the only reason that I decided to do a sport. Students
who play sports do better at school.1. Exercise also helps learning
and memory (记忆).
2. First, I tried soccer. I had played a bit of soccer before
and I thought it wouldn't be too bad. I knew I couldn't nm for very long without feeling
tired. On the first day, I was able to nm for the first ten minutes, but then I was so tired
that I couldn't even kick the ball!
Then, I tried volleyball. 3. I was able to nm for the first twenty
minutes and I wasn't the slowest runner in the team! After a few weeks .I could run faster
and longer. I was doing better and feeling better. 4. Maybe I'm
not a team sport person after all!
Finally, I tried kung fu. It's a great sport that exercises the body and the mind. You learn to follow instructions carefully and do what you are asked to do. This is the fight sport for me! 5. I feel so confident that l even showed some moves to the class last week! Can you believe it?
I hope you're OK! Write and let me know what you've been doing!
Bye for now!
Kristie
Nathan Sawaya's childhood was a lot of fun. He drew cartoons, wrote stories, and played with plastic toy bricks (积木). His grandparents bought his first set of toy bricks when he was five years old and he's been building with toy bricks ever since. He even took his building bricks to college with him! Instead of books and a computer, he had a model of Greenwich Village made of bricks on his desk.
Nathan started as a lawyer but gave up His highly-paid (高薪的) job to become an artist that uses toys in his art. He uses toy bricks to build everything from the Statue of Liberty(自由女神像) to Superman! He has more than 1.5 million colored bricks in his working room in New York which he uses to make pieces of art. He started by building small models but then decided to do something big and created a self-portrait (自画像). It took him two days just to build the eyes.
Nathan's work has appeared in museums around the world. Children love his art because it is made out of the same toys that they play with at home and adults love his work because it is fascinating. Since it began in2007, Nathan's exhibition "The Art of the Brick" has been very popular with museum visitors everywhere.
"I'm proud that I took a dream I had as a child, to become an artist, and I have actually made a job out of it," says Nathan. "To do what you love in life is the most important thing."
