Parkour（跑酷）is a sport which trains people to deal with any physical obstacles in their path. It is not a competition but a physical training. A person joining in parkour is called traceur. Traceurs run along a path and use only their bodies to deal with the obstacles in the most efficient way. Parkour pays more attention to efficiency{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(make) it different from the similar practice of free running. Parkour{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(common) includes running, jumping, climbing, rolling and other similar types of physical movements. Many teenagers think that parkour is quite {#blank#}3{#/blank#} cool sport. They have great interest in it.

    The {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(invent) of parkour can't {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(give) to one person because many people have worked on it. A French officer developed the earlier form of parkour. The term “parkour” was first introduced by David Belle and Sebastiar Foucan in the early 1980s{#blank#}6{#/blank#} that time, they were two teenagers. This sport {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(become) more popular in the1990s when many films were made on it.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#} makes parkour different from other sports is its power to bring people together. It allows traceurs to forget the {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(society) and other problems, and makes a large group work and grow together instead of competing with each other. People can benefit from parkour as it can make them stronger. Still, it also influences one's thought process by improving self-confidence and critical-thinking skills. In this way, parkour allows one to deal with {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(difficulty) in daily life if he or she deals with them through parkour.

    Keeping a diary in English is one of the effective ways {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (improve) our English writing ability. Compared with other forms of writing, it is shorter and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (take)less time. It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} we keep practicing, gradually we'll learn how to express ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English, we {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (certain) run up against many {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (difficult). In the first place, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} often happens that we have trouble {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (find) suitable words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there are many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely hard for us to put them into English properly.

    As far as I am concerned, my {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (suggest) is that we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something beats us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then look it up in our dictionary. We can also turn {#blank#}9{#/blank#} our English teacher for help, if necessary. In short, I believe that it is of great use to keep a diary in English for {#blank#}10{#/blank#} development of our writing skills.

    There are several reasons why school uniforms are good idea. First of all, uniforms help the school look smart. The students feel that they belong to a particular group. When every pupil in the school wears the uniform, nobody {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (have) to worry about fashion(时尚). Everybody wears{#blank#}2{#/blank#} same style of clothes. Uniforms can be useful in unexpected ways, A school in Ireland has introduced an interesting new uniform. On the edge of the jacket, there is a piece of cloth {#blank#}3{#/blank#}gives off light in the dark. When the children are walking or {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (cycle) to school on dark mornings, car drivers can {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (easy) see them.

    But can uniforms help improve school standards? The answer {#blank#}6{#/blank#} this question is not clear. One study in America found that students' grades {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (improve) a little after the school introduced uniforms. But some students didn't want {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (wear) the uniform. Other American studies showed no {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(connect) between uniforms and school performance.

    School uniforms are {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (tradition) in Britain, but some schools are starting to get rid of them. Some very good schools don't have a uniform policy. However, uniforms are still popular. Pupils at about 90 percent of British secondary schools wear uniforms.
