Personally, I believe that the ABC of Life are the following things;
For A, I believe it is Attention. It is because a lot of people cares about people’s attention too much and at the end did a lot worse. We should not care about people’s attentions so much as it is not important. Secondly, for B I believe it is Bravery. As life has so many challenges for us to go through and so we require a lot of bravery in order to do the best. Just like when you are hiking and meet a tall cliff, you would need bravery in order to jump through it and not stand back and give up.
Last but not least, C is for Careful. During life, we would meet different challenges and during so if we are not careful enough, we might make simple mistakes that could lead into big troubles. Those are my ABC for life, thank you for reading.

For the ABC sports, I have these words.
Firstly, A is for AIM. Without aim, you cannot do anything within limits. Same with sports, if you do not have an aim, you can't improve.
Secondly, B is for BOLD. As to try many different kinds of things on the sports, you need to be bold.
Lastly, C is for CONCENTRATE. Concentrating is also important too since if you have an aim, you can't succeed without concentrating too.
So that is my ABCs on sports. Thank you.

I think that A is for Activities, because we can create many activities with sports.
Secondly, I think B is for Ball, because many sports I like including balls. Such as, table tennis, basketball...
At last, I think C is for Celebrate, because if I win in a sport competition, I will celebrate with my family.

For me, my ABC of success, I think A stands for attitude, because if you don't even want to succeed and work hard for it, its basically impossible to do so. B stands for brain, as to be successful, whether to be a businessman or a scientist, you need innovative ideas or be knowledgeable. .Last but not least, C stands for courage, as successful people need to conquer many issues like business and demotivation, and after that they can finally be successful.

It means that you need to try everything , even some sports that you don’t like or are not interested in ,as if you don’t try , you already lost.

For my abc sports, A stands for agility. Athletes has to have agility to complete different task like gymnastics. B is for brave. Athletes may have to try dangerous activities so they have to be really brave.At last, C stands for cheerful. In games, we will win or lose so it is very important for athletes to be cheerful and learn from our opponents.

For my ABC(and also D) of sports, A stands for accurate. When you are playing sports like shooting or archery, you need to be very accurate to win. If you miss the target, you might lose.
B stands for battle. When you are playing any sport in a competition, you always need to battle with somebody.
C stands for cooperate and companion. Some sports need to be played as a team. You have to cooperate with your companion(s). Otherwise the whole team will lose its control and soon lose in the competition.
In addition, D stands for dare. If you dare to try a new sport, you have already stepped on a new path to success! If you advance in that sport, that sport may become your own career and you may also win something unexpected from the sport!
Thank you for reading.

For my own ABC sports, A stands for APPRECIATE. When others won in a sports (or others) competition, we should appreciate others for doing a great job. Next, B stands for BLISS. It is because doing sports brings happiness and joy. Last but not least, C stands for CURIOSITY. Curiosity is one of the important things to have. You have to be curious if you want to learn a sport. If you are not eager to learn, you may want to stop during to process of learning a new sport.

For my ABC of life, I think A stands for attitude.We need to have a good attitude to accomplish missions in life.Like preparing for the exams, doing projects, etc.
For B, I think it stands for brainy. Sometimes, we have to use other better solutions to solve the problem. we have to think another way that.
Last but not least, I think C stands for careful. we have to stay careful all the time.It is easy to make mistakes. We have to check things every time to prevent mistakes.

I would like to talk about my ABC's of Minecraft.
A stands for Action. It's because Minecraft has explorations and adventures (mining ,mob fighting and a lot of PVP action).
B stands for bewitch.You can do anything in this game and it just bewitches you entirely .(of course in a nice way) From fighting to even coding, Minecraft has so much to do and it's a lot of fun.
C stands for creativity. You can build in Survival mode,CREATIVE mode (which equals to having infinite blocks, flying and not dying to almost anything) and hardcore. Your creativity helps you progress throughout the Minecraft world and lets you be stunned by the brilliance of wonderful builds.

For me the ABCs of doing a scientific experiment are…
A: accurate. Everything has to be measured correctly while doing a scientific experiment. Otherwise all things would go wrong and the result will be different from the correct one!
B: brainstorming. You have to think deeply how to do the experiment after forming a hypothesis.
C: carefulness. Sometimes experiments are dangerous. Everyone must be careful of hot apparatuses, and chemicals labelled “Flammable”, “Corrosive”, “Explosive”, “Toxic”, “Harmful” and/or “Irritant” are hazardous too!
That’s all folks. Hope you can achieve these points doing an experiment!

ABC of English :
A stands for award, because students who are good at this subject get awards. Prizes and awards are the motivation to do better in every subject.
B stands for a phrase “bite the bullet”. English is difficult for some, and we can’t give up.
C stands for clearheaded. There are many parts in the exam, like proofreading. You need to be clearheaded to spot even the tiniest mistake and find time adverbs in the grammar part.

Well... your explanations are a little bit strange.. your 'attitude' and 'confident' is talking about sport competitions but 'brainstorming' is about a scientific experiment. Were you changing your mind when you were typing?
Good points anyway.

For my ABCs,
A will stand for Absorbing. We students need to absorb knowledge from the teachers and learn more in this school.
B will stand for the Beginning. This term needs to begin well, and without a good beginning then there will be a bad ending.
C will stand for Courageous. Teachers must encourage students to do their work well in order to make students feel calm and happy all the time.

Okay. Your first two points are very nice. In the third point (C), do you mean that bravery is important for a school? You mean that the students of a good school need to be brave? But in your explanation, you only typed that teachers must encourage students work well, not putting courage in them. So I was a little confused.

A stands for altitude. Doing things with a bad altitude equals failure.
B stands for base. All things must have a strong base before you can continue advancing to the top.
C stands for confidence. Sometimes you will need confidence to take a big leap at what you are doing.

Personally in my ABC of sports , A stands for Accuracy because while playing football and basketball we need to calculate how to shoot the ball to the goal , and B stands for Best and that means do your best when having a sport competition , and C means confidence , if your team are not confident enough , the opponent will take a BIIIIIGGG lead of the race.

No, we can calculate the angle 📐 we should shoot the ball so it goes in the way we want. In my opinion snooker is particularly important to be accurate but other sports need accuracy too.

About my ABC of life, I think A stands for author. It is because our life is like a book, and we are the author of this book. We must always remember that WE are the author of our book, we should not be ‘controlled’ by someone. For B, I think it stands for bring. In our life, we are always brought happiness and sadness. Although it may be sad when we receive sadness, we must enjoy when we get happiness. To me, C stands for challenges. Except happiness and sadness, we will also encounter lots of challenge and difficulties. However, we should not be afraid, but we need to be brave to overcome them. Thank you!

For me, my ABCs of fruit are the following:
A is for Apple. Apple is quite a representative kind of fruit, because even people who can’t communicate in English know this word. Also, people say “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” as it is nutritious and full of Vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre, which are good for our health.
B is for Beneficial. Fruits have many benefits for our body, for example, they enhance our immunity and improve our digestion, making our body stronger. This is why in the food pyramid, fruit is put in the second level counting from the bottom, and that the government recommend us to eat at least two sets of fruit every day.
C is for Colourful. Colourful is also a characteristic of fruits, because they come with a variety of colours. We can name a fruit with nearly all different colours we commonly say: cherry for red, tangerine for orange, banana for yellow, lime for green, blueberry for blue, and grape for purple. Pigments are why they have many different colours, scientifically speaking. Also, fruits are usually bright in colour when we look at it.

Personally, this is the ABC of sports:

A is for amusement. To have fun is the most important thing in sports, even more essential than winning or having benefits in it. And that is why I am sporty, to enjoy the process in playing badminton, basketball, soccer, etc.(having perfect speed, precision, reaction and accuracy)

B is for bellicosity. If you want to win in a sports competition (the second ultimate thing in sports in my opinion), you need to have a good fighting spirit, and be willing to fight with others for the champion. If you’re not becoming champion because of this, then what is the joy of getting 1st? You will obviously be happy when you the winner because you just beat a powerful opponent, won’t you?

C is for challenge. You always need to have a challenge for yourself, to make sports even more intriguing. Having a challenge for yourself will engage perseverance, endurance and persistence of yours, because when you can’t solve the challenge, especially when it is almost impossible, you will try to reach beyond your normal powers, and defeat them utterly.(unless you are lazy)

The ABC of sports to me is also the basic requirements for sports as well.

For my ABC of sports,
A stands for AIM. It is because in various sports like archery, football and baseball, you need to aim accurately at the target to earn points, and in my opinion it is very important.
B stands for BEST. The reason for that is because we must aim to be the best every time we compete, and strive to become better.
C is for CONFIDENT. It is because for us to aim to be the best, we must first have confidence. Without confidence, we won't have to motivation to take part in any competitions or even practise, and we will not learn any lessons or more skills if we don't do them.
Hope you enjoyed!

I’m going to talk about the abc of solving a rubik's cube.
A: Agility
Agility is a key to cubing because there are a lot of different finger tricks to solve the cube faster, and agility is the most important factor to do the finger tricks, like double flicks(using two fingers to flick a layer quickly) for example.
B: Brain power
Brain power is also vital to solving as we have to memorize algorithms in order to solve the cube. These algorithms are sometimes very complicated so brain power is important because we have to remember them all.
C: Cube
The quality of the actual cube is also important because it is much easier to do fast solves on good cubes. For example,a good cube can turn smoothly and it saves me a lot of time when I’m solving the cube. However, this bad cube turns atrociously so that means I waste a lot of time aligning the pieces and attempting to turn them.
Enjoy cubing!

I personally like sports very much and I like football, basketball the most. For B, I think is believe ourselves, because if you don't believe yourself, you can't get things done well.
