3 Sensitive kids typically have unbelievable imaginations.They’re dreamers.Their creativity shines through in all they do,and ideas just come to them.They show a great appreciation for the arts and they’re inspired by the beauty they find in the world.They notice that tiny little worms crawling on the sidewalk and the puffy (松软洁白的) clouds in the sky.
Because they are unique. 4 They’re insightful and reflective—they like to take the time to be alone and spend time with their thoughts.They appreciate calm and quiet moments.
Because they’re strategic.Psychologist Dr.Elaine Aron,the author of The Highly Sensitive Child,says highly sensitive children are “quick to grasp small and not so obvious changes and generally behave conscientiously(勤勉地)”. 5

Test 6
For a long time,sports have been viewed as a way to stay healthy and in shape,but their importance goes much further.
From a social standpoint,sports are a powerful tool that brings people together and creates a sense of community. 1 As an international student,playing pick-up basketball at the gym was the fastest and easiest way to make friends.
As a student,I had very challenging classes and occasionally had to deal with bad homework or midterm grades.I learned that I am not always going to get the results that I want,but no matter what,I have to persevere and not give up. 2
In addition to that,exercising is a great way to get out of the stressful college life that is all about homework,presentations,and group projects. 3 I personally think that I would go crazy without going to the gym at least three times a week.
The reason most students do not play sports is because they feel lazy about it and don’t have the energy for it. 4 As a matter of fact,exercise pumps more oxygen through your blood and makes your entire system more active.
5 Besides just being fun,sports can help you perform better in school,relax more and worry less,deal with setbacks,work better with others and increase your energy.
A.To sum up,playing sports has some serious benefits.
B.In short,playing sports can help students become more energetic.
C.They helped me get on very well with my teachers and classmates.
D.In fact,playing sports helps students relax and reduce their anxiety.
E.Sports gave me a positive attitude where I see falling as a way to learn.
F.They develop connections that bond people together from all walks of life.
G.However,the belief that the intense exercise will leave you exhausted is wrong.
