八、书面表达
One possible version:
Exercising is important!
Recently, we have done a survey about students’ exercising. According to the survey, 32% of the students spend over one hour every day doing exercise, while 68% of them spend less than one hour. The reasons are as follows: Firstly, 46% of them have too much homework, so they have no time to do exercise. Secondly, 29% of them are not good at exercise. Thirdly, 25% of them are not interested in it.
As we all know, exercising is good for our health, which keeps our minds sharp and makes us confident and happy.
In my opinion, we should keep a balance between our study and exercising. Besides, we should develop a good habit of doing exercise.
