This invention I will introduce to you is a little hard to describe. It's one of the four most greatest inventions in ancient China. It called Movable-Type Printing. You can think it as a printer existed in 12th century. You can imagine that you were just living during the period about 700 years ago. You wanted to read books, what would be in your hands? A phone? a computer? or a paper book? In fact, a paper book was more likely appeared on your table. As more and more people around you liked reading, the hand-copied books couldn't meet the demand. Then block printing was invented and the speed of printing was increased. But when a book was to be printed, we need a lot of wooden blocks which was engraved Chinese characters on them. After printing a book, these wooden blocks were useless. So, a man called Bi Sheng who might be one of your friends engraved the characters on small pieces of cubic clay and heated them until they became hard enough. Then, he placed these movable characters to make up different articles. After everything was prepared, people needed to put ink on them, then put a piece of paper on the character and pressed around, finally a page of a book was printed. All the movable characters would be removed andwere used to print the next page. It saved much money and time. More and more people could read a variety of books.

I don't like Christmas. I used to work in retail.

Today, I am going to talk about three things what I do every day to stay healthy, such as exercise, meals, and sleep. I jog every week with my friends to stay healthy. I often go to the beach, and I play badminton with my friends. Before jogging I stretch to prevent injury. When I find a park, I do exercises from the radio. In addition, I think breakfast is very important, so I try not to skip breakfast every morning. I do not like vegetables, but I try to get a lot of vegetables. Especially I do not like tomatoes, but I try to eat them to be creative for picky eaters, such as using them in meat sauce or baking them. I grow vegetables in my garden because it is healthier than the vegetables I buy at the supermarket. About sleep, I sleep at the same time every night and wake up at the same time every day for my health. I think that sleeping is very important thing for our health. Because when I was a child, I slept 9 hours a day and I grew in height a lot. I try to sleep at least seven hours a day to improve my performance. Because if I am sleepy, I fall asleep during class and I cannot get a good score. I want to keep doing it and do more things than I do now to stay in shape in the future.

This week was a little busy, but it was also fun for me. On Monday, I went to the dentist because my tooth felt strange. The dentist checked my teeth and cleaned them. It was not very fun, but I was happy that my teeth became better. After that, I felt more relaxed. Later in the week, I went for a drive with my girlfriend. We did not have a clear plan, but we just wanted to enjoy the day. We drove around the city, talked about many things, and listened to music in the car. It was simple, but I felt very happy being with her. On another day, we went to Nitori to buy some items for my room. We looked at chairs, shelves, and some small decorations. After shopping, I decided to change the layout of my room. I moved my desk, cleaned the floor, and placed the new items in better spots. Now the room feels more open and comfortable. Overall, this week was not special, but it made me feel good and refreshed.
