There is no doubt that challenges can lead to positive changes. After I overcome the big challenge of basketball, I got that challenges can lead to some parts of positive changes. In the first place, challenges can make mind stronger. Next, challenges can help people get in shape. Finally, challenges will make lives be improved. Therefore, don’t fear about challenge, it will help you be better.

DeleteIn my opinion, I think challenge is a good topic, and your perspective is very clear. In your summery, if you add a conclusion to mention about people should make this change, it will be more fine. That's my little advice, thank you.

It is easy to demonstrate that change with cycling has improved my life positively because it improved my health, bring you closer to nature and reduce air pollution. In order to improve my health condition, I started to ride bicycle and getting too many benefits. Not only does biking have the potential to improve individuals' health, but also can save the health care expense. In addition, riding bicycle brings people close to nature, While you are cycling, you can observe your surroundings, enjoy the natural environment. Last but not least, commute with cycling rather than driving will reduce the air pollution and exhaust emission. In all, change with riding bicycle has lots of benefits to improve our life better than before.
Yeah, actually I strongly agree with you, because I used to rode to school since I was 10 to 17. So I like riding too, it really have a lot of benefits like you said. by the way, nice summary.

ReplyDeleteTravel is an effective method to change our life. Like my travel experience taught me, travel around the world can give us a new perspective about life and especially about our own life. Furthermore, we will be more positive through our experiences from nature, like Peter Jack said our feeling depends on what we see, so beautiful places make us feeling more relax. Additionally, It is a perfect lesson, travel is the best way to learn different cultures, languages, and others histories. So if you want to your life become more colorful, it means you need some changes. Travel around the world is the wonderful way to change your life.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your idea, traveling is a good way to improve our life quality and learn from different cultures, and I like the quote "our feeling depends on what we see".
DeleteLife is changing every single seconds. Some changes pose an negative effect on our life, such as build some factories around the city to develop economy will damage the environment by polluting the air. However, we can chose walk to school to reduce the vehicle exhaust, although it is insignificant. To solve this problem, we can persuade the people around us to chose other ways for their tip instead of driving. Moreover, walking is a good way to keep fit and make our life healthier.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. So we often walk to those errands, getting a nice workout and enjoying the outdoors in the process.

ReplyDeleteOne of the greatest change that made my life better is studying abroad which can also make people's life better. There are some reasons that make people's life better such as learning other language efficiently. Another reason is that studying abroad helps people to grow independents such as self-reliance. Lastly, people can get cultural benefit from living outside of motherland. Thus, when people need to change in their life, one of good change is studying abroad.
ReplyDeleteI have been studying abroad in the U.S. for almost 4 months. I acquire cross-cultural experience, gain new perspectives on my chosen field of study, and make many new friends. Before I came here for my English program, I had finished my undergraduate in July 2015 and I have never experienced the student-centered and activity-based learning until I studied abroad in the U.S. In addition, it is my contention that studying abroad do more good than harmful to my development. This is partly because people are more affluent and party due to the variety of grants and scholarships which are available for overseas students nowadays.Over the past few years, more and more Chinese students have been studying abroad in the U.S, believing the experience of studying abroad will pave the way for student's future success.
