MOVIE GUIDE FRIDAY

Hello, everyone! I’d like to tell you something about a famous scientist named Qian Xuesen. He was born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province on December 11, 1911. After he graduated from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 1934, he got a chance to study in USA. After he graduated, he became a teacher as well as a researcher who studied rockets and missile theories.

When he was 44, he returned to his motherland and the country’s space research was almost a blank. In 1956, he set up the first research institute of rockets and missiles. He made such important contributions to the missile and space programs that he was honored as “The Father of China’s Missiles”. The Chinese people are proud of him.

He passed away on October 31, 2009 at the age of 98, but all the Chinese will remember aim forever. His devotion to his country was expressed in his saying, “My career is in China, my success is in China and my destination is in China!” When someone said he could make much more money if he stayed in the United States, he laughed and said, “My family name is Qian, but I don’t like qian.” His spirit encourages us to love our country and devote ourselves to science.

Carrie is now living in Beijing. She came to China at the age of 7. When She came, she wasn’t very happy. Then all the teachers and her classmates were very kind to her and helped her. Now she can speak Chinese very well, but five years ago, when she first came, she could only speak it a little. She can perform Chinese kung fu a little now, but she couldn’t do it last year. Yesterday was her birthday. She celebrated it with her classmates at home. Carries friends gave her many presents like flowers and cards, and she bought a big cake and lots of drinks for the party. They danced to music, sang songs and played games. Carrie sang a Chinese song and everyone liked it very much. All of them had a great time last night.

How to Exercise Well

Warm up. It is important to warm up before you exercise. You need to stretch your legs, arms, back and neck before you do any difficult activities like running.

Find good places to exercise. You do not need to spend a lot of money exercising. You can run or play sports in a park or in your school gym. You don’t need to buy exercise equipment for your home. Just get your body moving!

Don’t work too hard. Choose a sport that you are interested in and then your exercise will be fun instead of work. Also, you only need to exercise a few times each week. If you exercise for 30 minutes each time, you will stay healthy.

Drink enough water. It is important to drink water when you exercise. Your body needs the water for energy and for keeping cool.

Be careful! If you hurt yourself while you are exercising, rest until you feel better. Exercising when you are hurt is bad for your health.
