合理休闲(How to Spend Our Leisure)

　　most of us don't know how to spend our leisure time properly. when we have holidays, we tend to feel bored. some may indulge in outdoor games all day long while others may stay in bed to venture in the dreamland.

　　actually, all this is quite natural because in our daily life, we do things more or less according to an unwritten daily routine. for example, when we are at college, we go to class in the morning, have lunch at noon, take physical exercises in the afternoon, and do our homework in the evening. gradually we become so accustomed to the schedule that, when holiday comes, we are at a complete loss.

　　here are some suggestions.

　　if you are an active person, you can go for a picnic, or play some sports games. the fresh air and the fascinating scenery in the countryside may refresh you and the vigorous games may lift up your spirits. if you are not so active and like to stay at home, you may turn on your tape recorder to enjoy some light music or read a few novels. indoor games such as chess, playing cards, and table tennis and hobbies such as gardening and keeping pets are also enjoyable.

　　after relaxing ourselves with such games, we shall feel much happier and more energized. we can then find some time to review our lessons and get prepared for the new week to start. when holidays are finished, we can return to school in high spirits.
