Movies bring us more than just fun. For many people, watching movies is a way to learn a language. Of course, there must be some difficulties at first, but it will become better and better. Here is my advice for you to learn English by watching English movies.

better, watch a comedy. Some movies with Hugh Grant in can make you laugh.

We all know that exercise is important to us. If we exercise often, we’ll be healthy, happy and get a good sleep. Although we know that, it can be very hard for us to keep doing it. Let me tell you some way to get regular exercise.
Don’t kid yourself. Although you may pay for swimming lesson, it doesn’t mean you’ll go swimming. If you keep saying that you’re always busy, you’ll never have time to exercise.
Do what you can. If you’re busy and have little time to exercise, you can walk to school or to your workplace.
Exercise first in the morning. It’s a very nice way to start the day. After exercising, you’ll feel well all day.
Look for some ways to make exercise fun. Buy yourself an MP3. Go to a better swimming pool.。
