After finals，I was ready to move out．It wasn't too hard for me，but for a lot of my friends，it was a big event．After packing my suitcase and helping my friends move，it was time to say goodbye．I had reached the end of my first year in the university!

A friend from Chinese Taipei who is studying in Washington D．C．came to visit，so my brother and I took him sightseeing．But these were not this month's highlights．The high point was coming back home，a moment I'd been expecting since the day I left．

I arrived home early on the morning of May 15th．When I saw my parents，I gave them a big hug and kiss．Being at home with my parents，standing on this land，and feeling the humid and hot air，I knew I was home．The first thing I did was to go to Mei Mei for a big breakfast．It was so much better than the school cafeteria（自助餐厅）! Mei& Mei was just a start．There are so many foods I have to eat and so many friends I want to see．

The hot air is burning my face and the sweat（汗） is evaporating from my skin．I love this feeling．This is where I belong．

Students in our school have one thing in common-an interest in sports．According to their different aims in doing sports，they fall into three groups．

Many students go to the playground when they feel tired after a few hours of study．These students put much more stress on their study efficiency（效率） than the fun of sports．They just want to go back to their classrooms from the playground with a clearer and quicker mind．So they don't actually care whether they can enjoy themselves on the playground．Most of them choose long-distance running，the kind of exercise which few real sportsmen like．So this group of students can be well regarded as study-oriented participants（参加者）．

Students that make up the second group are real sports lovers．Sometimes they even put aside their studies for a match．They participate in the sport that interests them most，not caring whether it is good for their~ health．They may be called fun-oriented sports participants．

The third group want beauty from sports．Boys want to become strong; girls want to be slim and graceful．Those who consider sports the only way of losing weight also belong to this group．They are very careful in choosing the kind of exercise they do，and are afraid that certain sports may influence their body shapes．The proper name for this group may be beauty-oriented sports participants．

No matter which group we belong to，we all benefit（受益） from sports．If you look around the school yard，you will find that bookworms have disappeared，and instead，there are healthy，strong，clever and modernized students everywhere．
