附加:5.22日记(输入转输出的练习)
Last night, I went to bed at 11:00 and slept for 9 hours. This morning, the first thing I did was study English about how to improve sleep quality. The fifth tip is to stay away from caffeine and alcohol. In the afternoon, I went to my studio and did yoga for an hour. Later, I went to the shopping mall and bought two pairs of Lululemon shorts. Then, I went home and ran 5 kilometers in the neighborhood.
