You should say: What it is How you have discovered it How you want to develop it And explain why you want to develop sit. I have a friend and she is an avid runner. If I remember correctly, she used to run 10km almost every day to train for the marathon. She could run a full marathon under three hours which is quite amazing and had also participated in the ironman triathlon before. When I first met her, it was during an English class. We were discussing fitness and I told her I could finish a 5k under 30 minutes which I felt quite proud of. She scoffed at how slow I was and showed me her fastest time, which was about 21 minutes, and that is a little over 4 minutes per kilometer . At that moment, I was so shocked to find out a woman could be so much faster than a man when it comes to long distance running and I felt motivated to become faster. So from that day on, I started to train and bought some new sneakers, went on a diet, and started running every morning. After one month, I actually lowered my time per kilometer to about 5 minutes. However, after one more month of training, I realized that I am not getting better because to be honest, I find that running is completely boring and pointless. So at the end, I gave up because I guess running is not in my genes. But I had realized that to become good at something, a person needs a lot of persistence and will power, so maybe in the future, I will get back into it again. 本期话题关键词: 1. ironman triathlon 铁人三项 2. scoffed at 嘲笑 3. persistence n. 坚持不懈
