英文小作文：

Contortion is an interesting art form that requires precise movements and flexibility. I have always been fascinated by it because it requires so much effort and practice to achieve the desired results. When I watch people contort their bodies into strange shapes, I am reminded of how powerful the human body can be when we put our minds to it. It also reminds me of how we can sometimes get stuck in our ways and need to try new things to break out of our comfort zones and expand our horizons. Contortion can be a great way to do just that, and I hope to try it someday myself.
