I recently took up jogging. I don’t mean anything serious; it’s only slightly faster than walking. I’d heard from a friend of mine who jogs that at some point while running your mind reaches a state of complete stillness. Indeed jogging sometimes enables me to forget all my troubles in life, come up with new ideas, and clear up all the things that have been worrying me. I’m not sure if I can continue to jog, but at least I’m relieved that I’ve jogged for a few days now and I haven’t given it up yet.

〈B社模範解答〉

I started jogging only recently. You may be surprised to hear that I started jogging, but there is nothing special about my jogging. It is only a little faster than walking. I heard from a friend who jogs that you can put yourself in a state of mind of “Mu” while jogging. Indeed, when I am jogging, I feel free from a lot of troubles in my daily life. I sometimes hit upon new ideas, which could help solve problems that I’ve been thinking about for a long time. I’m not sure whether I will be able to continue to jog. However, I’m relieved that at least I didn’t quit soon after I had begun.

I tended to put things off. When I was in ninth grade, I did not do my summer vacation homework until the end of August. I tried my best, but I could not meet the deadline and was scolded severely by my teacher. Since then, I’ve been trying to do what I must do right away. (57語)
