Question

【題目】

Ballet is a type of dance. It is a kind of art that can express a feeling, tell a story, or interpret(翻譯) a song. The first ballet began in the 15th century. Ballet dancers may be men and women --- ballet is not just for girls! They are strong, pretty, and flexible (柔韌的).

Many movements in ballet are unusual for the human body. Dancers turn their legs out, instead of having their knees and feet straight forward. They also point their feet and may even dance on the tips of their toes.

Dancers must go through a lot of training. Many take classes almost daily if they'd like to be professional (職業(yè)的) ballet dancers. They need to practice often to keep up their strength. That also means that dancers need to take very good care of their bodies, so their bodies can keep up with the dancing! Dancers need to be well rested and eat healthy meals. They also should drink plenty of water and listen to their bodies by resting if that's what their bodies need.

In ballet class, most teachers ask dancers to warm up their bodies at first. After that, dancers come to the center to practice other movements. They should start slowly when learning new steps, so their bodies have time to get used to the steps and not get injured.

In fact, it is not easy to become good ballet dancers. Not only do dancers need to control their bodies well, but they need to have a good understanding of music.

Ballet looks soft, but it is really an athletic activity. If you love to move your body and use it to tell stories, ballet might be a great activity for you to try!
