Written Exercise 47 - Night Owls, It Is Time To Change! Often (I wouldn’t say « often » here) staying up late is not only a bad habit but also an unhealthy lifestyle. I have been staying up late since the end of last year. The night before last, I did not go to bed until 2AM. Yesterday morning, I woke up at 7am, but I did not get up until noon. I counted that I only had / I counted only 16 instances of going to bed before 11pm in the past 3 months (I don’t think I really hear « record » used like this often) I realized that I had (it was probably fine before but I think this is more natural) an unhealthy lifestyle. I said to/told myself that I needed to change (from now on) (I think this is unnecessary) and get my healthy lifestyle back again. It so happened that I watched a TV program this afternoon that (use “that” if the next part is necessary to the meaning of the sentence) talked about the topic of” How to protect our livers”. The guest on the TV program, a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, said that it was important to go to bed early or go to bed before 11pm because our livers work and recover from 11pm to 2pm (so we need to rest before 11pm- redundant) The doctor also said that it is important to stop drinking. Last night, I did follow the health plan I made ( for more details please take a look at the . Although I did not go to bed before (before what?), I did turn in 1.5 hours earlier than I used to. Tonight, I will do as the doctor said. How about you?

Written Exercise 33- It is time to pay a visit. Today is the second day of the Chinese Lunar New Year, which we call 大年初二. People start to pay visits to their relatives (at this time). It is also the day that married daughters go back to their families and pay a visit to their parents or brothers. We call it 回娘家. The parents and brothers usually prepare good food to treat their married daughters or sisters. When I was child, I was always excited about the day and followed my mother to pay a visit to her family. That was because I could meet my cousins and receive a lot of lucky money from my uncles and aunts.

Please help me correct this, thanks! Written Exercise 28- A man had his mother stolen! Recently (I think “lately” is usually for things that happen often or over a period of time), I watched a video on the internet that was filmed in Hebei province, China, if my memory has not led me wrong/misled me. The headline of the video says, “My mother was stolen from my house!" A man in the video said that he had had his 90 year-old mother stolen when he got home/said that one day when he got home, he found that his 90-year-old mother had been stolen. He asked his wife where his mother was. His wife told him that his mother had been STOLEN by his brothers. Finally, the man found his mother at another brother's house. “What was going on?” we might ask. The man in the video also said that he had 2 brothers who had a good relationship with each other. They had a commitement to take good care of their old mother. They took their mom to their own homes every 2 months. All the sons wanted to spend more time with their mother, so they always STOLE their mother from the other brothers’ houses before they were supposed to. From watching this video, we can see that the sons love their mom and that they are filial. This is also a warm and lovely video that I had not watched in the past year (implies that you saw it more than a year ago)/video that I had never seen before. What a lovely family!

I must work every day. I work from Monday to Friday. I have free time on the weekends. I have many hobbies, such as reading, drawing, and playing table tennis. But my favorite hobby is studying because studying makes me feel fullfilled.

Recently, I have a cold. I have to face a headache, a fever, a cough, sore throat, runny nose, eyes swelling ache, whole joints ache, which is worse this time than before. I never went it through before. At the beginning, I felt nothing, but 2 or 3 days later, I was really a bit worried about it whether I was already influenced because it is very similar with novel coronavirus symptom. But I keep to stay inside all long and even more there is no one case or suspicious case in the region where I live. After series of checking, certainly I,m not. Then taking some medicine, having some sufficient rest, drinking lots of water and keeping warm, I'm much better now. Generally, I will be healed to restore my health and vigor in 5 to 7 days. It seems to be an evolution process that virus or bacteria are adapting to the new micro recycling of a for achieving a certain kind of balance (not sure what you mean here). Not only is this situation fit for the human being, but it is also applicable to other beings and the microscopic world. That is the reason why you never heard some words like "kill, eliminate," but instead "treat, restrain" in the traditional medicine. Sometimes I think, what are we, and what are the bacteria when both are under a universe that makes them microscopic? Are we the same? All are/ Everything is made of atoms and electrons. If it's true, is the world always integrated originally? (Not sure what this last sentence means)

Recently, I have had a cold. I have to face (I don’t think I’d hear that phrase often in this context. I don’t think it’s wrong at all, though. If you want something more common, I think I’d use « deal with » instead of « face ». Again, there’s no need to change it.) a headache, a fever, a cough, a sore throat, a runny nose, swollen and aching (we usually say eyes might be itchy if you’re feeling compelled to constantly touch them) eyes, and aching joints, all of which are worse this time than what I’ve had before (if you want to say the symptoms are worse)/which make this cold worse than any I’ve ever had before (if you’re talking about the whole illness). I have never gone through this before. At the beginning, I felt nothing, but 2 or 3 days later, I was really a bit worried about whether I had been infected/exposed because these were very similar to early coronavirus symptoms. But I stay inside all day long, and what’s more, there is no case or suspected case (I’d say no cases or suspected cases but either is fine) in the region where I live. After doing some checking, I’m certainly not (infected). After taking some medicine, having some sufficient rest, drinking lots of water, and keeping warm, I'm much better now. Generally (I don’t think this is right here unless a few of the following words are changed- generally, am restored to health » would mean that in most cases when you are sick you get better in a few days), I will be healed and restored to health and vigor in 5 to 7 days. * It seems to be a evolution process that virus or bacteria are adapting to the new micro recycling of a for achieving a certain kind of balance.
