Dear Editor,

亲爱的编辑：

After I attended your summer camp about health and lifestyle choices, I realised I hardly ever felt well, either physically or mentally.

在参加了你们关于健康和生活方式选择的夏令营之后，我意识到无论身心，我几乎一直状态不佳。

I often felt sleepy and dizzy, and lacked passion.

我常常困倦头晕，缺乏活力。

Most worrying, though, I got the flu easily and experienced many toothaches, too.

但最让人担忧的是，我很容易患上流感，还频繁牙痛。

At the end of the camp I heard, “Change the world by changing yourself.”

夏令营结束时，我听到一句话：“通过改变自己来改变世界。”

This stimulated my motivation.

这激发了我的动力。

A dentist once examined me and told me that too much sugar in my meals had damaged my teeth and health.

一位牙医曾经为我检查，告诉我饮食中糖分过高损害了我的牙齿与健康。

I made up my mind to change two things in my life: to eat nothing with sugar and to exercise regularly.

我下定决心改变生活中的两件事：不吃任何含糖食物，坚持规律锻炼。

After that I stopped buying all the sweets, biscuits, and sugary drinks that I used to have every day.

从那以后，我不再购买从前每天都会吃的糖果、饼干和含糖饮品。

Whenever I went out with friends, I brought snacks from home, things that didn’t have any added sugar: fruit, nuts, dried meat, etc.

每当和朋友外出，我都会带上家里的零食，都是不含额外添加糖的食物：水果、坚果、肉干等等。

My exercise was very simple: I went outside every day for at least 30 minutes and did something active.

我的锻炼方式十分简单：每天出门至少30分钟，进行一些活动。

Sometimes I played table tennis or badminton with my cousins.

有时我和表兄弟姐妹打乒乓球或羽毛球。

Other times I jumped on my skateboard and rode around my neighbourhood, or just took a long walk.

其余时候，我踩上滑板在街区兜风，或是只是长时间散步。

The results have been fantastic.

成效十分显著。

I feel more dynamic and stronger than ever, in both body and mind.

身心两方面，我都比以往更有活力、更加强健。

I sleep soundly at night now.

如今我夜里睡得十分安稳。

I no longer suffer from a flu virus or toothaches either.

我再也不会被流感侵扰，也不再牙痛。

Best of all, in my opinion, is how I feel about myself.

在我看来，最重要的是我心态上的转变。

I feel like I’m in control of my own life.

我感受到自己能够掌控生活。

To make choices about myself is within my own power.

我有能力为自己做出选择。

I CAN change myself. I just need to try.

我能够改变自己，我只需要勇于尝试。

Yours truly, Wang Lu

敬启，王 Lu
