Running with classmates
I ran in the Chaoyang Park with some of my classmates this afternoon. We started running at 5 p.m. The weather was not as stuffy as yesterday but still hot and humid. It took me 40 minutes to run 5.5 kilometers. My heart rate reached 205 per minute when I was running too quickly. I kept telling myself to slow down and do not compete with those tough guys. Finally I reached the finish line.Running with classmates
I ran in the Chaoyang Park with some of my classmates this afternoon. We started running at 5 p.m. The weather is not so as stuffy as yesterday but still hot and humid. It took me 40 minutes to run 5.5 kilometers. My heart rate reached 205 beats per minute when I ran too quickly. I kept telling myself to slow down and do not compete with those tough guys. Finally I reached the end terminal.Wow great job! 5.5 kilometers is a lot! (at least to me...)
A couple of extra notes to help you understand my corrections:
1.) When we make comparisons of equality, we use "as _____ as _____". That is the basic structure, so just always remember both "as"
2.) "Quick" is an adjective (modifies a noun, tells us what a thing is like), while "quickly" is an adverb (modifies a verb, tells HOW an action was performed). For example, "The horse is quick" (quick modifies "horse") versus "The horse runs quickly" (quickly modifies "runs"). We can often turn adjectives into adverbs by adding "ly" in English. Such as slow -> slowly, rough -> roughly, sleepy -> sleepily, etc. The two words will have the same basic meaning, but a different grammatical use. Hope that helped.
