(2018·山东淄博中考改编)If you ask me what my favorite sport is, my answer is swimming. I started learning how to swim when I was five years old. I have been swimming ever since.

fun racing across the pool as fast as you can!
Another reason that I love swimming is that it has more styles than other sports such as running and walking. It doesn't feel like you're doing the same thing over and over again.

(2019·原创)For thousands of years, kites have been made and flown by people of all ages living in most parts of the world. Kites have been especially popular in Asian countries.

In China, one day out of every year is celebrated as Kite's Day. At these special “kite celebrations”， thousands of kites are flown. They are made in all shapes, colors, and sizes. Some are shaped like fish, butterflies, or birds. All of them are very bright and colorful.
Most kite fans fly their kites just for fun, but serious kite fliers take part in contests.
Kites are used for practical(实用的) purposes, too. The US Weather Bureau uses kites to

collect information about winds and weather. Some of the kites used in this work carry scientific instruments and fly higher than 20，000 feet.

Do not fly a kite near trees or electric lines, or in an area where there are lowflying planes.

Dear David，
I'm glad to receive your email. Here's some advice on how to learn Chinese well.
It's a good idea to watch movies. You'll find it helpful to improve your listening skills. Reading always plays a key role in language learning, so do more reading in your spare time.
In my opinion, you'd better make more Chinese friends. They'll be glad to lend you a hand and it provides a good chance for you to learn about Chinese culture. It's a wise choice to use your cell phone, which allows you to use apps, QQ or WeChat to learn Chinese.
Practice makes perfect, so do remember to keep practicing every day!
Follow the advice, and I'm sure you can learn Chinese well!
Best wishes.
Yours，
Li Hua
