Last Friday our school hold a sports meeting successfully. As a sports lover, I took a active part in it. Of so many kinds of events, I signed up for the 800-meters running race. I took it for granted that I would win the race, because I thought it was my strong point. Beside, I had spent much time making preparations for it. However, much to my surprise, I was just on the point of arriving the finishing line while a boy went ahead of me. The boy, that was running so fast, finally got the first prize. At that moment, I couldn’t help feel a little disappointed. But under the help of my teachers and classmates, I cheered up soon. Although I missed the chance to get the first prize, but I benefited a lot from the experience.

Minimalism (极简主义) refers to living comfortably with as few material possessions as possible. 1. Here are three main reasons.
Reducing isn’t the first choice
It is hard to make the time to actively reduce what we own, especially when we’ve already managed to cut down life’s inventory (存货) in half. But the truth is totally opposite. 2.
3.
We tend to create an identity around the things we own. It is difficult for us to let go of things we already spent money on, even if it doesn’t make sense to keep them.
Organizing takes effort
4. Clearing out belongings takes physical labor. Actually, the whole process is emotionally draining (排水). There isn’t much to be done other than doing it. Stop thinking about what is involved, and just do it.
Don’t quit in fear of change. 5. Embrace what’s on the other side of what you’re accustomed to. Just one small change at a time can lead you to discovering the real joy in your life.
A.Getting rid of stuff is a challenge.
B.How to become a minimalist one step at a time?
C.Minimalism will actually help you find happiness.
D.Minimalism is increasingly popular in our daily life.
E.Minimizing would help one become more productive.
F.Finding proper space is not easy, for there is effort involved.
G.But why do people often find it difficult to lead a minimalist lifestyle?
