correct/break/get rid of/fix/quit/give up bad habits
To facilitate positive changes in my life,
仿写Decision:
I realised that to succeed in quitting, I had to replace it with something else. So I thought about what to try
This stimulated my motivation
My exercise was very simple: I went outside every day for at least 30 minutes and did something active. Sometimes I played table tennis or badminton with my cousins. Other times I jumped on my skateboard and rode around my neighbourhood, or just took a long walk.
关于原文Action的分析:
Rock climbing, bowling, watching comedies, and playing basketball were the things I thought of doing instead.Now my dad and I go rock climbing together monthly!
After that I stopped buying all the sweets, biscuits, and sugary drinks that I used to have every day. Whenever I went out with friends. I brought snacks from home, things that didn’t have any added sugar: fruit, nuts, dried meat, etc.
Whenever I wanted to play computer games, I went jogging instead, which not only enhanced my quality of life but also improved my health.
仿写:每次我想玩电脑游戏的时候,我就出去慢跑。这不仅提高了我的生活质量,也改善了我的身体状况。
仿写:Action
Rock climbing, bowling, watching comedies, and playing basketball
I went outside every day for at least 30 minutes and did something active
I played table tennis or badminton with my cousins.
I jumped on my skateboard and rode around my neighbourhood
I just took a long walk.
It has enhanced the quality of life, improving my health and increasing my happiness. I get refreshed through climbing, spend more time with my dad, and get to meet new friends.
After six months of trying out new ways of relaxing, I feel much more energetic. I feel that I can change myself for the better. And if that’s true for me, then it might truly be possible to change the world for the better. As Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”
The results have been fantastic. I feel more dynamic and stronger than ever, in both body and mind. I sleep soundly at night now. I no longer suffer from a flu virus or toothaches either. Best of all, in my opinion, is how I feel about myself. I feel like I’m in control of my own life. To make choices about myself is within my own power. I CAN change myself. I just need to try.
关于原文Result的分析:
仿写:结果是极好的。我在身体和精神上精力充沛。更好的是,我感觉我可以让自己变得更好。
仿写:Result
perfect/superb/remarkble/awesome/excellent
I feel more dynamic and stronger than ever, in both body and mind
I feel much more energetic. I feel that I can change myself for the better
I feel like I’m in control of my own life
better yet/even better/besides/what’s more/furthermore/in addition/
Best of all
I no longer suffer from a flu virus or toothaches either
I get refreshed and get to meet new friends.
The results have been fantastic. I get more dynamic, refreshed and energetic both physically and mentally. Better yet, I feel that I can change myself for the better.
仿写:结果是极好的。我在身体和精神上精力充沛。更好的是,我感觉我可以让自己变得更好。
连接词的使用:首先:Firstly, First of all, To begin with, ...其次:Secondly, What’s more, In addition, Moreover, Furthermore, Besides, ...最后:Lastly, Finally, Last but not least, ...
Dear editor,
After I attended your summer camp about health and lifestyle
choices, I realized I was addicted to digital devices,which entertained me when I was playing, but wore me out afterwards.
After the camp, my motivation stimulated, I made up my mind to get rid of bad habits and take control of my life. Whenever I wanted to play computer games, I went jogging instead, which not only enhanced my quality of life but also improved my health. The results have been fantastic. I get more dynamic, refreshed and energetic both physically and mentally. Better yet, I feel that I can change myself for the better.
This experience benefited me a lot. And if that’s true for all of us, then it might truly be possible to change the world for the better.
Yours,

Dear Editor,
I was walking past a shop window the other day when I saw my reflection. At first, I didn't realise it was me. When I saw it was me, I felt sad as I was overweight. I didn't realise how I looked, and now I really want to change. I really like eating, but I realise I eat too much, and I don't eat good things.
I want to change because I want to be able to look at myself and feel happy with how I look. I also want to be healthy.
My plan is to change my diet and exercise regularly. I will stop eating sugar, and only eat at mealtimes rather than eating snacks during the day. I will focus on healthy foods. Then I will exercise every day. I will walk to school and back, and on the weekend, I will go swimming.
I have only been doing my plan for a week, but I'm already starting to feel better. I haven't lost a lot of weight yet, but I feel positive. I feel confident that I will reach my goal!
Yours sincerely,
A. Smith

summary
Dear Editor,
①Knowing that letter are wanted , I’d like to share my story with you. ②As my studies grew, I was stressed out and worn out. There was a time when I suffered a poor sleep. Worse still, the addiction to smoking brought me a negative effect physically and mentally.
③Suddenly,I became aware that if left unchecked, my bad habits would make me accomplish nothing , I made up my mind to change myself straight away. ④Whenever I wanted to smoke, I tried to discipline myself by doing other things to get refreshed. I chose to work out regularly, which enhanced my quality of life.
⑤ Now, there is no doubt that I am more dynamic, with my motivation stimulated.
Yours, Li Hua
