Answer B:
My friends are pleased with my healthy body. Girls run after me, and boys secretly become
jealous of it. The reason for my great body is never a secret. I am a school athlete, so I always
get to work out my body without considering much about the time. It’s more of a task for my
school since I join athletic meets or interschool competitions. I play soccer, and my team
considers me a star player. I completely enjoy my time kicking the ball and spending it with
teammates. You can never go wrong with sports. You get a body to die for, and health to
make you live longer. I also go jogging when I have time during the weekend. I tag my family
along, even my pet dog. It’s a great bonding for us. When I feel my heart pumping, I feel very
energetic - more of the adrenaline rush, please. This tells everyone that exercising gives you
benefits you cannot get from just sitting at home and accumulating fat.

[example: This tells everyone that exercising gives you benefits you cannot
