Last year my school planned to set up the football team. I was exciting about the news though I was a football fan. I entered for it, only to be told that I was too fat. However, they said there will be a test three months later. If I could lose weight successful, I would be admitted. So I decided get up early every morning to do exercise. It was difficulty for me to get up early, especially in winter. I made a great effort to get up on the first few day, but I didn’t manage to get up the follow days. At last I failed in. How I regret now! If I had continued with my exercise, I would have achieved my goal and become a member of our school team now.
