Finding a balance：my tai chi experience
When my friend first suggested that we join the new Tai Chi Club at school，I hesitated．I always believed tai chi was for old people．After the first class，however，I had to admit that I had been wrong about tai chi．It was amazing! One year later，I can honestly say it has had a huge effect on me physically and mentally．Just as importantly，practising tai chi has inspired me to explore the Chinese culture behind it．
The first few tai chi classes were fun and easy，and the moves really caught my imagination，with descriptive names like“white crane spreading its wings”and“golden rooster standing on one leg”．When I asked my coach where these interesting names came from，he told me about the history of tai chi．Zhang Sanfeng，a 13th-century Taoist，was said to have invented tai chi after drawing inspiration from a fight between a snake and a bird．However，nowadays people tend to believe that Chen Wangting，a 17th-century master of Chinese martial arts，developed tai chi based on martial arts skills．No wonder some tai chi moves are named after animals—Chinese martial arts have a long-standing practice of imitating animals．Chen Wangting's original set of moves is called Chen-style tai chi，but other styles of tai chi have since been developed，including Yang-style，Wu-style and Sun-style．
After learning the basics of tai chi in those first few classes，I found myself bored and aching from doing the same moves over and over again．Luckily，my coach taught me how to relax my muscles and focus on peace of mind while performing the routine．With these requirements of tai chi in mind，I found to my satisfaction that my balance and flexibility slowly improved，that I was able to do more difficult moves，and that my love for tai chi returned stronger than ever．
In time，I began to look into the ancient Chinese culture behind tai chi．I discovered that tai chi is deeply rooted in the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang，which are believed to form the unity of opposites．Neither can exist independent of the other；for example，there is no shadow without light．The practice of tai chi aims to maintain the balance of yin and yang in the body through opposite movements：forwards and backwards，up and down，left and right，breathing in and breathing out．Eventually，tai chi brings about a state of physical balance and mental peace．
A year of practising tai chi has had a positive effect on my everyday life．I sleep better at night，and I am more energetic during the day．I feel happier and more confident．Tai chi has taught me to relax my mind，enabling me to stay cool in stressful situations．I am sure I will continue to practise tai chi and enjoy the benefits it has brought me．

The Olympic Games
Every four years，thousands of highly trained and talented athletes gather together in the spirit of friendship，solidarity and fair play，ready to test their abilities against each other in the hope of being recognized as the best of the best．This is the Olympics—an extraordinary sporting event that was first celebrated about 3，000 years ago．
History of the Olympic Games
The ancient Olympic Games began in the year 776 BCE．During the early Games，only Greek men were allowed to participate．They competed in such events as boxing，running and the long jump．The ancient Olympic Games were held at Olympia in Greece every four years for almost 12 centuries，until they eventually died out around the year 393．
More than 1，500 years later，however，the Games rose again．The modern Olympics were first held in 1896，in Athens．It was a Frenchman，Pierre de Coubertin，who brought the Olympics back to life．His dream was that the Olympics would help people of different racial origins and from different cultures live side by side in peace．For over a century，people from diverse backgrounds have made joint efforts to help realize Coubertin's dream．
Respectable Olympians
Motivated by the original Olympic motto“Faster，Higher，Stronger”，many well-known athletes，both male and female，have devoted themselves to achieving sporting excellence and pushing the boundaries of human achievement．One such Olympian was the boxer Cassius Clay．He came to public attention during the 1960 Rome Olympics，when he won the light heavyweight gold medal for the USA，demonstrating great talent and personality in the process．Afterwards，this young man proceeded to become the world heavyweight champion in 1964，and later changed his name to the one we all know—Muhammad Ali．He returned to the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games to light the Olympic flame at the opening ceremony．By the time he died in 2016，Ali had been recognized as one of the greatest boxers of all time．
Another sportsperson that should be applauded is Jessica Ennis-Hill．Her story is a remarkable example of how hard work and devotion can lead to sporting excellence．A former track and field athlete from the UK，she won an Olympic gold medal in her home country in 2012．As if that were not enough，she returned to the Olympics and won a silver medal in 2016，just two years after giving birth to her first child．In an interview she revealed that the secret of her consistent good performance was the training that she never missed．
China and the Olympics
The 2008 Beijing Olympics called on the whole world to join in the Olympic spirit and build a better future for humanity with the slogan“One World，One Dream”．In addition to hosting the Olympics for the first time，China also ranked first in the medal table．This success is truly remarkable if you consider that just 24 years before，at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics，Xu Haifeng won our country's first-ever gold medal．Since then the upward trend for Chinese sport has been unstoppable．At the 2004 Athens Olympic Games，Liu Xiang became the first Asian to win the gold medal in the men's 110-metre hurdles，while at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games，the Chinese women's volleyball team won a hard-fought victory in the final．Another historic moment for China came when Beijing successfully hosted the 2022 Winter Olympics after winning the election in 2015．
The Olympic Games bring joy and excitement to people across the world．As Coubertin believed，“With the Olympic Games，each generation celebrates its advent，its joy of living，its faith in the future，its ambition and its will to ascend．”
