It’s my pleasure to make a speech here about taking sports. Today more and more people take different kinds of sports in daily life. Because___________________________________________

Last year, Gadot, a 33-year-old actress, was included in Time Magazine’s 2018 list of the 100 Most Influential（有影響力的）People. She was praised for showing Wonder Woman’s power and her kind heart. She helped to change people’s impressions on the women by playing the role successfully in the movie. Gadot believes that women can be strong and brave because her family always told her that women are valuable and powerful. She was also taught to be hopeful and positive at a young age.
