Hey, everyone, here is the latest weather report for you and your family. This morning, we’re seeing the sun with cloudy periods, as well as a little snow. Right now, I am at the top of Mount Raven, where it is two degrees and is expected to rise to about five degrees by noon. Overnight temperatures will probably drop to at least seven degrees below zero. Alaska is a cold place, but you’re probably used to it by now! Tomorrow’s forecast calls for more snow with a high of zero and a low of twelve degrees below zero. Conditions are perfect for skiing this weekend, but I wouldn’t want to be playing out in this cold. If you’re heading out to the mountains tomorrow, please remember to dress warmly to avoid getting sick. Next Monday is going to be a lot warmer, so maybe then would be a good time to take the family out. Well. we’ll go back to the news room now for a look at what’s happening in sports, and stay tuned for a speech from the president this afternoon at 5: 00 pm. Take care, folks!

参考范文:Do sports to reduce pressure
Nowadays, with many of us senior students having too much study pressure. I’d like to share an effective way to help us to reduce pressure. That is sports.
For one thing, doing sports can build up our strength and muscle. For another, we can remove our attention from the stressful things through sports, such as running, playing basketball and so on. My classmate Li Juan is an excellent example. When she were faced with study pressure, she would go to the gymnasium to play basketball and then she would have a better mood. Therefore, doing sports is a useful way for us to reduce the pressure.
Life lies in movement. Let’s join in sports to reduce pressure and keep healthy.
