I was small for my age. I was shy and sometimes it was hard for me to make friends with others. However, learning came fairly (相当地) easy for me. I was the best in most of my classes, but PE class was my nightmare (噩梦) and made me feel that I was not as good as the others. Miss Forsythe was our PE teacher. She was young and energetic. Everyone liked her. She said that we all had to come to her classes. No one could hide from Miss Forsythe!

    One day she told me that she wanted me to play a game with another girl in a PE show. I was rather worried that I wouldn't do a good job as she explained her idea, but she was excited. With her encouragement, I had no choice but to agree.

    It was a "boy meets girl" game. I played the boy and my classmate, Margaret Ann. played the girl. We were dressed in evening clothes and danced around the floor. According to Miss Forsythe. I had to pick up Margaret Ann when we finished the dance. Since I was not strong enough to pick the tallest girl up, it was she who picked me up. I suddenly felt ten feet tall! It was a huge success and everybody applauded (鼓掌) for our excellent performance. What a wonderful ending! Afterwards. I smiled confidently. Miss Forsythe's understanding and willingness to create a place for me in her show (which certainly did not need me) gave me some much needed confidence. She was and always will be my favorite teacher.

These days, more and more people like the "city walk" around China. The city walk is a kind of city tour coming from the UK. It means tourists follow a planned route（路线）working deeply on the city's history and culture. During the traditional kind of travel, people need to follow a group of people. But city walk routes are special for every tourist. People probably choose a route on their own and move on foot without a purpose. They can also talk with locals（当地人）and taste local food on their way. 

City walkers may be tourists from other places or local young people. For tourists, by taking part in a city walk, they can learn the city's history and culture. For the local young people, they may spend weekends knowing more about their living places. And they even share their routes and places online. So more people get interested in their cities and come to visit them. 

Now the city walk is very hot. However, we also find that to make money, some travel agencies（旅行社）may make some routes without understanding the culture and history of a city. That will make tourists lose interest in the city walk. What's more, many young people spend much time taking photos to just show themselves online. 

All over the world，men and women，boys and girls play sports because they're important for everyone.If you have time to do sports

People think running is easy and cool now.Many people don't have enough time to play sports，so they start running in the morning or evening.In the past，running in the street was a little silly，keep fit or relax themselves.

Running was not popular at school in the past.In some schools，when it rained，the playground became too wet and children couldn't play football，running becomes popular now.Good sports clothes，comfortable shoes and your favorite music are helpful for running.

Every year in April，the London Marathon（马拉松） comes.People from all over the world run in it.Interestingly，but now even people who are unfit come to join in it.It's not because marathons become easier，but people become more interested in running.

So what are you waiting for？Just run from today.

Chinese writer Hai Ya's The Space-Time Painter won the Hugo Award(雨果奖)for Best Novelette(中短篇小说)on Oct. 21st. He became the third Chinese writer to win a Hugo Award after Liu Cixin and Hao Jingfang. 

When creating The Space-Time Painter, Hai Ya drew his idea from a famous painting, A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains(《千里江山图》). It was created by Wang Ximeng from the Song Dynasty. Based on Wang, Hai created a painter named Zhao Ximeng. After many hard times, Zhao's mind leaves his body and enters a space where a modern policeman is trying to solve a case(案件)about an ancient painting. 

Hai Ya's story with science fiction began in his childhood. "When I was a child. the bookstore in my hometown helped create a beautiful garden in my mind that belonged to me only. In it, science fiction offered the most beautiful'flowers';it opened a new world for me as a kid, "Hai Ya told Beijing Youth Daily. 

Hai Ya's works feature a mix of history and science fiction. These two styles seem opposite:One looks back at the past, and the other faces the future. However, in Hai Ya's works, they find a perfeet balance. 

"If we can only imagine the future and things in space like rockets, it will only limit our imagination, "Hai Ya told Shenchen Special Zone Daily. "I don't think history is something completely in the past. It is flowing(流动的), and we can make predictions about the future by looking back at history.  ▲ , "he added. 

More Chinese writers today are trying to mix traditional culture with modern stories. Hai Ya believes that it is not a choice but a natural process. "Our history and culture have universal values(普世价值)that can touch everyone, "he said to Xinhua.
