Spend Our Leisure to the Best Advantage
充分利用你的休闲时间
Most of us are inclined to feel that it is difficult to spend our leisure properly. When we have holidays, we usually feel bored and do not know what to do. Many people just sit in a sofa watching TV, while many other people stay in bed to venture their dreamland.
Actually, having this feeling is quite natural since, in our daily life, we do things more or less in accordance with an unwritten daily routine in our mind. For instance, a student goes to school in the morning, takes lunch at noon, goes home in the evening and does homework at night; while a clerk gets to the office in the morning, takes tea in the afternoon, goes back home in the evening and reads newspaper at night.
Gradually and accordingly we get used to the routine in our mind. And once we have holidays, we need not carry out this routine. So we are at a complete loss.
How to spend our leisure? Here are some helpful suggestions but the subject matter is to have recreation!
If you are an active person, you can go on a picnic, or play some sports games. The fresh air and the fascinating scenery in the countryside may refresh you and the amusing games may make you happier.
For those who are not so active and like to stay at home, they may listen to light music or read novels. Indoor games such as chess, cards, table tennis and hobbies such as gardening and keeping pets are also enjoyable.
In this way, we will feel relaxed, happier and more energetic. When holidays are over and we begin to work again, we can do much better with a light heart.
