When I was in primary school，I was fat and didn't like doing exercise.I felt tired and bored when doing any kind of exercise.Because I hardly did any exercise，I often felt sick and didn't go to school.As a result，I could hardly catch up with others.And my poor health made it even more difficult for me to keep on exercising.The cycle repeats itself.My parents were really worried about me.
    One day，after having supper，my father came and asked me to have a walk with him in the park.My father insisted（堅(jiān)持） that for people with very poor health，it is difficult to take up running and other sports at the beginning，but they can start from walking and increase endurance（提升耐力） little by little.With his encouragement（鼓勵(lì)），I agreed and we went out together.It was hard for me to walk for half an hour.I wanted to give up，but my father encouraged me to keep on walking.
    From then on，I was often asked to walk with my parents.To my surprise，I could walk for an hour in the fourth month.How proud I felt!I love taking exercise gradually（逐漸地）.Now I am a perfect runner in my middle school.I lost all the fat and I am not weak now.I take part in the school sports meeting every year.
    My parents once taught me that during all my life，I might face some difficulties，but as a boy，I shouldn't be afraid of them.What I should do is to try to face them bravely（勇敢地）.
