Overtaken on a hilt, three runners in an American marathon race were left behind by a 13-year-old boy. He was Wesley Paul, experienced in 18 marathon races in 5 years.
Wesley's father, a doctor from Taiwan now living in Kansas, started jogging, worried about his weight.
Wesley, then a child of 3 and a half; joined him. Having been impressed by his son's early ability, Dr Paul encouraged him. Running together, the two completed Wesley's first marathon when he was 7. Although the boy spent 4 days in bed after the race, he thought “it wasn't too hard”, and was training again within a month.
Each marathon race is 26 miles, 385 yards—about 42 kilometres-which Wesley has run in 2 hours 41minutes and 57 seconds-faster than some runners in the Los Angeles Olympics Marathon Race. Already the holder of 13 United. States long-distance records, Wesley has got his eye on the 1988 Olympics. Some doctors, however, are not in favour of children running long distances. Believing that still-growing bones may be damaged by such exercises, they argue that young runners may not grow to their full height. And Wesley, having twice been accepted for the New York Marathon, which he ran when he was 8 and again 9, can no longer take part; the organizers set a minimum age limit of 16 in 1981.
Similarly, under-eighteens are banned from the London Marathon. Meanwhile Wesley continues to practise, determined to qualify for the 1988 Olympics both by age and performance.

Dear Victoria,
How time flies! I have been in Chengdu for over a month. I am excited to tell you something about this beautiful city.
As you know, in London cars are driven on the left side of the road, but here on the right side. Many people in London go to work by car or by bus while most people in Chengdu go to work by bike.The climate is almost the same both in London and in Chengdu.Both cities have so many cloudy days and lots of rain.Workers in two cities work 5 days a week. Students here study hard at their lessons and many of them can speak English quite well.It’s a pity that students in our country don’t make full use of time and few know Chinese.
Best wishes!
Yours Lovely,
Jack

Overtaken on a hilt, three runners in an American marathon race were left behind by a 13-year-old boy. He was Wesley Paul, experienced in 18 marathon races in 5 years.
Wesley's father, a doctor from Taiwan now living in Kansas, started jogging, worried about his weight.
Wesley, then a child of 3 and a half; joined him. Having been impressed by his son's early ability, Dr Paul encouraged him. Running together, the two completed Wesley's first marathon when he was 7. Although the boy spent 4 days in bed after the race, he thought “it wasn't too hard”, and was training again within a month.
Each marathon race is 26 miles, 385 yards—about 42 kilometres-which Wesley has run in 2 hours 41minutes and 57 seconds-faster than some runners in the Los Angeles Olympics Marathon Race. Already the holder of 13 United. States long-distance records, Wesley has got his eye on the 1988 Olympics. Some doctors, however, are not in favour of children running long distances. Believing that still-growing bones may be damaged by such exercises, they argue that young runners may not grow to their full height. And Wesley, having twice been accepted for the New York Marathon, which he ran when he was 8 and again 9, can no longer take part; the organizers set a minimum age limit of 16 in 1981.
Similarly, under-eighteens are banned from the London Marathon. Meanwhile Wesley continues to practise, determined to qualify for the 1988 Olympics both by age and performance.

Dear Victoria,
How time flies! I have been in Chengdu for over a month. I am excited to tell you something about this beautiful city.
As you know, in London cars are driven on the left side of the road, but here on the right side. Many people in London go to work by car or by bus while most people in Chengdu go to work by bike.The climate is almost the same both in London and in Chengdu.Both cities have so many cloudy days and lots of rain.Workers in two cities work 5 days a week. Students here study hard at their lessons and many of them can speak English quite well.It’s a pity that students in our country don’t make full use of time and few know Chinese.
Best wishes!
Yours Lovely,
Jack
