A enormous number of people misunderstand the meaning of losing weight. In their opinion, becoming slim means losing fat. In fact, becoming slim doesn't means getting rid of fat("Misunderstanding of Weight Loss -- Weight Loss Doesn't Equal Fat Loss," 2015). 

Basal metabolic rate indicates that in the indoor temperature, the rate of a kind of metabolism which is used to sustain people alive such as respiring, nail growing longer, and hair growing longer and so forth("Basal Metabolic Rate," n.d.).

                                                          Losing weight

In modern society, people's quality of life is becoming higher and higher, which is accompanied by a variety of foods such as fried food and grilled food. As a result of these high-calorie foods, people's weight is becoming bigger and bigger. For keeping a healthy body state, the fat people are trying to lose weight arduously. While many people fall into a pitfall when they are attempting to lose their weight. For losing weight, many of them don't eat dinner, even some of them just eat one meal a day. Some others of them lose weight only by doing aerobic exercise. I want to say these two means are not scientific and efficient ways to lose weight. "Most people lose weight by falling into a trap, they think underweight is losing weight. Is it really so simple? Of course not, weight loss doesn't equal fat loss"("Misunderstanding of Weight Loss -- Weight Loss Doesn't Equal Fat Loss," 2015). Some people don't eat dinner and they think when no calorie inject into their bodies, there will be no fat accumulation in their body, so gradually they will become slender. As a matter of fact, when you are lack of food, you will feel hungry, which as if is a signal transmitted to your brain. As you know, human's brains are very delicate and smart. When brain receive this signal, it will mandate your body to reduce calorie consumption. As a result of calorie consumption decrease, the basal metabolic rate of your body will slow as well. While basal metabolic rate is a very significant factor for losing weight. "Basal metabolic rate refer to in a natural temperature environment, the minimum energy required by a constant temperature animal to maintain life in a non strenuous state"("Basal Metabolic Rate," n.d.). If one possesses a high basal metabolic rate, he will lose fat much easily because the higher the basal metabolic rate of one person is, the faster he loses his energy. While energy comes from fat, so the faster he loses his fat, which will let him become slender very easily. When a person endures a long period of lack of food, he covets food. Once he can't control himself of dieting, the terrible thing happens. When he eat food greedily, his brain will immediately issue a signal to his body and demand his body to store more fat than before in case of the "famine" on next time, so that's why many persons once lose control of dieting their weight will rebound beyond the weight before they begin the plan of dieting. In addition, human's metabolic rate consists of basal metabolic rate and exercising metabolic rate. As shown, exercising metabolic rate is another significant factor for losing weight. The exercising metabolic rate means the calorie loss in the process of exercise. In the term of this definition, many people jog in GYM and they only jog. Jogging may works for the time being, but after a long period, joggers will find that their weight will never decrease at all and the fat attached around the waist will never disappear. Why?! It's because that, for example, when a person is jogging, in the first 25 to 30 minutes, his body will expend the carbohydrate in his body, and in the about 30 to 45 minutes, his body will consume the fat in his body, but after 45 minutes, his body will consume his muscle in his body! This is a really bad thing. As I mentioned above, the basal metabolic rate is a very important factor for losing weight. In the meantime, muscle is a very important factor for increasing the basal metabolic rate because of a vital mechanism whose definition is that muscle needs consume fat all the time in order to keep its activity, which means the high basal metabolic rate is always followed by the large content of muscle. This can explain that why some strong men even lose weight when they are sleeping. In conclusion, the most scientific way to lose weight is the combination of aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise plus rational dieting. After sticking with it for a period, you will find that losing weight is not a so difficult thing to achieve.

Before he got to the door, I heard the hum of a car which made me very excited. I rushed out of house, and I was deeply attracted by a dark blue pickup truck. This pickup truck looked like a strong and keen buddy, and a big pair of eyes were put in the front of it's face. from then on, buying a exactly alike pickup truck with Peak's became my dream. Fortunately, when I was 18 years old, my father gave me a pickup truck as my birthday gift! This truck was almost the same with Peak's, while the only one difference is my truck is painted by red color, which made me unsatisfied a little bit. I found a vehicle repair plant far away from my house to change my truck's color. I want to change red to to dark blue, I told my idea to a repairman. the repairman was very strong, bareheaded, and whiskered. He seemed to be unfriendly and vicious, yet he was very interested in my birthday gift, he was fascinated by my truck. He mentioned me to have a rest in waiting room and said hoarsely that this work just take less than an hour. While when I was watching the movies showed in TV in the waiting room, I heard the hum of my car! I hurried out and saw that repairman was driving my truck away from my sight! At that moment, I was shocked, meanwhile, a small jet flied over my head and caught up to my truck. I was excited and puzzled, who is the pilot? After 20 minutes, my car appeared in my sight! It is coming back! When my car parked in front of me, the driver got off. It's Peak! The repairman was sitting next to him and his hands were restrained by handcuffs. Peak told me he was interested in jet now. He knew I like his car, so this time he visited my father and gave his pickup truck to me as my gift of eighteen. While when he came to my house, my father told him I went to a vehicle repair plant to change the color of my car, then he hastily found me and wanted to tell me I could keep the red color without painting it. I was so excited after hearing what Peak said, while when I saw his jet, I thought I was interested in a new hobby.

    When I was 15 years old, I met a girl, she was my classmate. Her name is Meng. Soon I fell in love with her. One month later, Meng became my girlfriend by my chasing after her. From then on, we went along with each other every day. Every day after class I bought her snacks. We wrote letter everynight and exchanged the letter on the next day. We went out together by bicycle at weekend. During that time, my life was all about her.
     The things mentioned above is not the most important, the most important thing I want to say is that when Meng became my girlfriend, I almost forgot Peng who was my best friend. Before I knew Meng, I played with Peng every day. We had nothing to say. Academically, he is smarter than me, so every time I met a problem that I could not do, Peng always helped me in time. While in daily life, I am more creative than him. I often discovered some interesting things in which we could enjoy. Nevertheless, when Meng showed up, everything had changed. every time Peng came to see me, I used many kinds of excuses to refused his invitation of amusement, instead, I was on the phone with Meng or amused with her. This situation happened for many times. Gradually, Peng stoped coming for me.
    At one time, I quarreled with Meng, then we did not talk with each other. I was very angry, I wanted someone to talk to, I thought of Peng at that moment, but suddenly I realized that I had not actively contact with him for 3 months. I was much ashamed. At night, I plucked up my courage to ring him up. When  he answered the phone, he said "Asshole, you finally think of me!" At that moment, I knew that I almost lose my best friend.
    According to this thing, I had grown a lot. I learned one can not be too selfish, and we can not live up to the people who like you.

        Rome wasn't built in a day, in Chinese culture, there are other two sentences having the same meaning with it: the first is that three-foot ice is not formed in a cold day. The second is that taking a bite can not be a fat man. All of the three sentences mean that the most important character for reaching a goal is insistence. Insistence means never give up. Doing a same thing everyday is very diffiicult and boring, but when you stick to it, you will have a unexpected gains.
        Take me as an example, when l was a sophomore, I am a fat man about 200 pounds. Every one doesn't like me, they did not want to make friends with me. More unfortunately, in the 3000 meters running fainl exam of sports I failed and did not pass the exam. I am dispirited and inferior all the day at that time. Every time I looked at myself in the mirror, even I hated myself. I thought it is time to make some changes. From then on, I went to the nearest GYM from my house everyday and I setted a goal of running 5000 meters each day and losing 40 pounds. In the first few days, 5000 meters seemed to be a mountain pressing me. When I was running on the treadmill, the meters I had run increased slowly, yet I felt more and more difficult to breathe. That moment I want to give up, but when I thought myself in the mirror and failure in the sports exam, I choose to insist. One week passed, a month went by, 1 year passed and 2 years passed. Finally, In the summer in 2014, I lost almost 45 pounds. I substituted my shirt for T-shirt, suit pants instead of sport pants. I got dressed up. I regained my confidence. The most important point is that I won the championship in the running of company. At at moment, I thought the sweat of these years was worth it.
