There's a lot of good news about Chinese volleyball player Zhu Ting.
She was named as the Most Valuable Volleyball Player of the China Volleyball
Association for the 2019-2020 season. At the same time, readers can find her story in a children’s book
When I Grow Up-Sports Heroes. A British publishing house(出版社) published the book. It's about how
children become sports superstars. Those superstars include LeBron James and Lionel Messi.
Zhu Ting now plays for the Tianjin Bohai Bank Women's Volleyball Club. Last season, she helped
Tianjin win its 12th top league title(联赛冠军). She is also the captain
(队长) of China's women’s national volleyball team. When she first joined the national team,
the 1,98- meter-tall girl found it difficult to move quickly because she was so tall. But head coach Lang
Ping trained her to jump high and spike the ball(扣球). Since then, the fighting spirit （精神）of the
national team has inspired(激励) her. After hard practice, she became a great spiker.
She used to play volleyball in Turkey and she didn’t improve her English. When she arrived there,
she couldn’t speak English well and needed help. But she kept practicing English after her training. After

phone. Not forever, just for a week. I'm warned(警告) that you are developing some bad habits.

table. It’s not a good idea to use your phone while you are doing homework. You can’t put your
heart into your homework at all. And you may make more mistakes when you can't fully put your
heart into it. There are many good reasons to take a break from your phone. Have a try! So what
do you say Are you ready to give up usingt your phone
Dear dad,
I know you think I depend on my phone too much. But I’m just using technology to help my
life to be better. My phone helps me in many ways.

happened to me. If I didn’t dol that, you would be worried about me. My phone helps me with
my homework too. I can look up anything in a second. It’s really hard to be successful today if you
don't have a phone. Social media, games, and apps might seem silly to you, but they help me to
keep in touch with my friends. I promise to cut back my phone use, and I won't use it at the dinner
table anymore. But giving it up for a week would be a mistake and it wouldn't change anything in
