However, it is a walk in the park for them. They dedicated their whole life to master this waterlogged pastime. They had to undertake and endure training for years in order to smash the world record. If I were them, I would not be able to stay committed to my goal of being a professional swimmer. I admire their determination and dedication to swimming.

Also, there is a huge amount of pressure when they need to participate in competitions and they must stay optimistic if they lose  and recover in time for their next race. Therefore, I really admire them.]]> 2021-05-13 02:39:11 UTC https://padlet.com/chccolin/drm7q971f92wvno6/wish/1519918242 2B 25 Anson Cheung https://padlet.com/chccolin/drm7q971f92wvno6/wish/1519918859 I admire professional swimmers. It’s undeniable that professional swimmers are very hard-working. They dedicate their time to training intensively for swimming competitions, in which the training itself is no walk in the park. Besides, they have to walk up early to train and even change their diets in order to build up long, lean muscles for the competitions. I respect them for striving for their goals.]]> 2021-05-13 02:39:26 UTC https://padlet.com/chccolin/drm7q971f92wvno6/wish/1519918859 2B 36 https://padlet.com/chccolin/drm7q971f92wvno6/wish/1519925223 2021-05-13 02:42:11 UTC https://padlet.com/chccolin/drm7q971f92wvno6/wish/1519925223 2B 39 https://padlet.com/chccolin/drm7q971f92wvno6/wish/1519925399 2B 39 short writing

     I do not admire professional swimmers.First I am not a fan of swimming. Although swimming is good for our health, I think that normal swimming exercises at swimming pool or swim when going on a trip is already more than enough.
     Second,waking up early and having harsh training is not my cup of tea.Professional swimming need to have harsh training in order to improve their skills, I think this is a exhausting job and I don’t want to get trained like that.

Swimming is a kind of sports that can train your cardiovascular system. We can train them by repeatingly doing the same action. For running, this long-term training would damage our joints as it adds pressure to our feet every step we touch the ground. However, swimming allows us to reapeat the action without damaging our jonts,while it can still train our cardiovascular system. Therefore, I would like to choose swimming.

Being a professional swimmer require a good physique and as nearly every muscle group is engaged. They have to wake up early at a daily basis, spending hours in the pool every day, and doing a large amount of intensive exercises. 
Moreover, they need to be able to deal with loss, stay positive and recover quickly. They are required to have the natural talent,discipline and mental focus. It is definitely no walk in the park.

Also, I like running because it gives me a sense of security in this cold dark world, although long running may break my joints and determination. However, short sprints are a walk in the park.

I would like to choose running. The main reason is I think waterlogged sports are trouble , you need to change into swimsuit and go to a swimming pool for swimming , but for running , you can run in nearly any clothes and anywhere , very convenient. Also , running is like a walk in the park if you aren't aiming to be a professional , you need to know how to float on water if you want to swim , which not everyone can do at all . But running is easy , running has the meaning of ‘walk faster’ , and everyone can walk faster , everyone can run ! Overall , running is more convenient and easier to people , so I would choose running instead of swimming.

The reason is that swimming can burn a lot of calories without heavy impact on the joints but running for a long time may hurt our joints. Besides, swimming has a positive impact on cardiovascular health, as the deep breathing required for the activity works the heart and lungs with every stroke. In my opinion, swimming can provide us with a comprehensive and effective development in our strength and muscle.]]> 2021-05-13 02:46:53 UTC https://padlet.com/chccolin/drm7q971f92wvno6/wish/1519936398 2B 11 Kwan Tsz Shun s201900961 https://padlet.com/chccolin/drm7q971f92wvno6/wish/1519936418 Yes, I admire professional swimmers, because the sport is no walk in the park, they need to wake up before noon and have trainings of lifting weight and swimming laps. Also, they need to keep their spirits high and recover quickly after losing a race. And, their food intake are monitored in order to have long,lean and strong muscle.]]> 2021-05-13 02:46:53 UTC https://padlet.com/chccolin/drm7q971f92wvno6/wish/1519936418 2B33 s20190316 https://padlet.com/chccolin/drm7q971f92wvno6/wish/1519936798 I admire professional swimmers a lot because their main goal is to win in swimming competitions or even smash the world record, but this is not a walk in the park. Undeniably, they need to train harder and harder to get a strong physique,so that they can be more competitive. The level of their training is not something ordinary people can afford.]]> 2021-05-13 02:47:03 UTC https://padlet.com/chccolin/drm7q971f92wvno6/wish/1519936798 2B16 s201905511 https://padlet.com/chccolin/drm7q971f92wvno6/wish/1519939795 2021-05-13 02:48:21 UTC https://padlet.com/chccolin/drm7q971f92wvno6/wish/1519939795 2B28 s20190703 https://padlet.com/chccolin/drm7q971f92wvno6/wish/1519940308 2021-05-13 02:48:34 UTC https://padlet.com/chccolin/drm7q971f92wvno6/wish/1519940308 2B27 https://padlet.com/chccolin/drm7q971f92wvno6/wish/1520365551 If I were to choose between running or swimming, I would go for running. This is because the risk of running is lower than that of swimming. Although both sports uses most of or body parts, if we unfortunately got drowning, we may have live threatening. Therefore, although it is not a walk in the park to be good at both running and swimming, I would choose running instead of the waterlogged sport due to risk consideration.

In order to smash the world record, they need to wake up early to undertake harsh trainings, and their food intake are monitored to maintain their health. Undeniably, swimming is no walk in the park. Also, the swimmers dedicated their time and only focus on the training in order to improve their skills. Those are impossible for me as I’m not determined enough. So, I really admire their persistence.]]> 2021-05-13 11:14:41 UTC https://padlet.com/chccolin/drm7q971f92wvno6/wish/1520605158 2B06 https://padlet.com/chccolin/drm7q971f92wvno6/wish/1520620750 2021-05-13 11:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/chccolin/drm7q971f92wvno6/wish/1520620750 2B07 s20191535 https://padlet.com/chccolin/drm7q971f92wvno6/wish/1520749880 Yes I admire professional swimmers. First, they can undertake many harsh swimming exercise. For example, waking up before dawn  and doing laps in the pool which are hard for me. Second, they dedicated their lives to this waterlogged pastime, which is no walk in the park. However, they didn’t give up easily and even aim high to smash the world record with their stunning power and grace. That’s why I admire them very much.]]> 2021-05-13 12:32:36 UTC https://padlet.com/chccolin/drm7q971f92wvno6/wish/1520749880 2B31 https://padlet.com/chccolin/drm7q971f92wvno6/wish/1520784712 If I were to choose between running and swimming, I would choose swimming. This is because swimming can lower the risk of suffering from stroke and cardiovascular illness. Also, swimming can strengthen our body and immunity, which makes us have less chances suffering from different illnesses such as fever and cough.

This is because they dedicate most of their time to swimming. They can endure intensive pratices and exercises to prepare for the swimming competitions. Also, they always need to be able to deal with loss. When they lose a racen they must keep optimistic and recover quickly. I really admire their persistence and their great effort for swimming.]]> 2021-05-13 15:00:54 UTC https://padlet.com/chccolin/drm7q971f92wvno6/wish/1521322126 2B24 s201906411 https://padlet.com/chccolin/drm7q971f92wvno6/wish/1523045377 I will choose swimming because frequent and extended periods of running may damage the joints. Swimming is less intensive and it can exercise all of the body’s muscles, as opposed to running, which only exercises the arms and the legs. Swimming also has four different strokes, while there is only one set of movement for running.]]> 2021-05-14 00:03:43 UTC https://padlet.com/chccolin/drm7q971f92wvno6/wish/1523045377 s20190304 https://padlet.com/chccolin/drm7q971f92wvno6/wish/1523049401 2B32
If I were to choose between swimming and running,I will choose swimming.Firstly,swimming is more interesting as there is different strokes to learn while running only have one geisture Secondly,swimming can train nearly all of my muscles and also my respiration system.Moreover,I like to play with water since I’m small,especially when summer,imagine swimming in the cool water while the weather is hot!
