06 Spare time activities

Entertainment

In modern society,people are having stressful lives due to severe competition.but most of them still manage some time for entertainment.first of all,people need to get rid of stress to be physical and psychologically healthy.once they do something for fun after work,they can relax their brains as well as their bodies.。Then entertainments can also help them to handle their work problems.sometimes a solution could suddenly occur while they are doing something they really enjoy.

Without entertainments,life can be totally different.people won’t be as efficient at work and they might eventually break down.at the same time,if they don’t take time to relax,they won’t be able to handle the family relationships properly.

On the whole,entertainments play an important part in our lives.

Days off work for people of different ages in Britain

These graphs show obvious difference in days off work for male and female in Britain.female workers have more days off work than male at all ages.and the difference is most striking for the age periods of 55-59 and 50-54.

One of the possible reasons may lie in the sexual discrimination held by employers.though British parliament has long ago passed laws to eliminate sexual discrimination,many employers still tend to prefer men to women when they are recruiting workers,bor workers.

Another factor contributing to this difference is that women have to stop working for expecting a child or giving birth to one,while men needn’t.some women even have to stay at home thereafter to raise child,while men are not expected to do so.

There are also other possible reasons for this difference,such as earlier retirement for women,and larger share of attention to household affairs from women.

Chatting with friends

While i am not happy,i would like to find my friends and chat with them about my problem.they will listen to my trouble and provide some possible solutions.or even if they can not help me,only their company can greatly release my pressure.we can together talk about some funny things and forget the unpleasant.through laugh,my mind is relaxed and i regain the courage to face the problem and live on.it’s painful not to have friends with you while you are in trouble.

Watching movies

I like watching movies or TV series to release my pressure.i don’t have to be busy with my work in my spare time,and i have the chance to watch more movies and TV series.i don’t want to think about any serious things,so some amusing movies are suitable for me.i just lazily sit on the sofa eating some fruits and watch the program.or i may sometimes go to the cinema to watch the latest movies by those famous directors

Out-door activities

I like going out and doing some out-door exercises while i am not happy,such as climbing mountains,boating in the park,doing some sports,etc.after sweating,i will feel comfortable.i often go to the suburbs of the city.there the air is fresh with more trees and flowers and less people.i even shout when i am excited.humans are really themselves when they are close to nature.after the outdoor activities,i will have more strength and treat the former failure or trouble to be trivial.变得微不足道

Listening to some music

I like listening to some music if i want to release the pressure.i am a quite and sensitive person.music can give me much imagination and relaxation.it can express various feelings.i often listen to some light music or western classic music or traditional Chinese music.their beautiful rhythm can bring me to another world and make me forget the pains.i can either lie in bed or sit beside the table drinking coffee or tea while listening to music,or even gently dance according to the rhythm.it is really pleasant experience to me.

Understanding for volunteer activities

Nowadays more and more people work as volunteers in various positions to serve the country.there are many volunteers now serving the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.most of them are college students having a good command of English.some are common citizens who spread the news of Olympiad to others or keep order of the traffic beside the road.there are also many volunteers in other matches and in helping disabled people,in teaching,etc.volunteers usually have no pay.they do everything for free and feel satisfied with their contribution to the society.our country needs volunteers.they do these works that some wouldn’t like to do and greatly help the development of the society even though some work seem to be tedious and trivial.they are selfless and only want their work to be admitted by others.a word of thanks can make them happy.
