作業1: 請根據上面音檔,於上面文章填入適當答案,並整段抄在筆記本上

作業2: 對照下面考試文章,點選旁邊音檔聽3-4遍。

考試: 下面是上次上課教的單字寫成的文章,考試考下面這一篇就好,但除了黑體字,其餘也會考。像是nutrition(營養), progress(進度), journey(旅程), in the long run(長期), significantly(大大地,顯著地), a balanced diet (均衡的飲食), stay consistent (穩定持續),這篇文章不用抄在筆記本

Many people have a vision(願景) of becoming successful and healthy. To achieve this, you must learn how to stay fit effectively. It is not just about exercise; it is also about your lifestyle.

First, you need to gather information about nutrition. Most people compare their progress with others(和別人比較進度), but the most important thing is to focus on your own journey. If you want to change, you might have to sacrifice some unhealthy habits, like eating too much sugar. This process can be painful at first, but it will provide you with more energy in the long run.

Your daily habits affect your health significantly. While it is normal to have bad days, you should try to maintain a balanced diet to stay at your current weight. Having a support system, like a workout partner, can make the experience much more pleasant. By staying consistent, you will find that living a healthy life becomes a natural part of your routine.
