Hi Amy,

I’m very happy to hear that you are getting out of hospital soon.you must be very excited! I know that you are not strong after your operation, so please do some of these exercise.

If you want to get strong and have some fun with your friends,you could try(1) , (2) , (3) , softball or (4) . The last one is not popular in China,but I know lots of Canadians and Americans like it. It sounds fun. These are all good team sports and will help you build up your strength and you will meet lots of people at the same time.

If you like sports that you can do on your own,then try(5) , (6) or(7) .Some of these are very tiring,so you may want to keep there for next year.

Of course,maybe you just want to have some fun and exercise with only one of your friends.how about trying(8) ,(9) ,(10) or fencing?

Remember to take it slowly at first and you will build your strength up quickly.
