Full Chinese Text
最近很忙，每天花很多时间在工作上。忙的时候就忘了要学习和运动，因为觉得工作更重要。但是工作压力大的时候，心情和身体都会受影响。
I have been very busy recently, and every day I spend a lot of time on work. When I am busy, I forget that I need to study and exercise, because I feel that work is more important. But when work is stressful, both my mood and my body are affected.
今天下午上完课的时候，我告诉自己：我应该运动一下！我做了半个小时运动，没想到一点也不累。运动后我又学了一会儿法语，我的心情变得特别好。
This afternoon, after finishing class, I told myself: I should exercise a little! I exercised for half an hour, and unexpectedly, I was not tired at all. After exercising, I studied French for a while, and my mood became especially good.
生活不能只有工作，不然会变得很有压力，也很无聊。虽然运动和学习需要花时间，但是很值得！
Life cannot be only work. Otherwise, it becomes very stressful and also very boring. Although exercise and study take time, they are really worth it!
