36、 tai chi will definitely become more popular among teenagers,because I believe young people are becoming more aware of the importance of physical and mental health.Tai chi is great because it helps with both.This should make it a good choice for teenagers who want to take up exercise.Also,as a traditional Chinese form of exercise,tai chi will probably get a lot of support from the government,schools and other bodies(团体；社团；群体团体；社团；群体).
