Rest and relaxation What do you like to do in your free time?Rest and relaxation are important for our health, and free time gives us a chance to do the activities we enjoy However,it is important to use the time we have in constructive ways.Activities can be indoor, outdoor, active or sedentary. In the United States, current research shows that young people enjoy doing outdoor activities. In fact, 61 percent of young people between the ages of six and nineteen spend at least two hours outdoors every weekday. The survey found that a number of other sports are popular. Teens play basketball or American football very often. Young people also enjoy going on fi eld trips, camping, bird and wildlife watching, doing karate or gymnastics, and aquatic sports such as swimming,diving, and snorkeling. On the other hand, many youngsters spend a lot of their free time indoors. Indoor activities include playing videogames, and using computers for non-homework activities. Studies show that playing videogames and using computers are extremely popular among young people.Children under twelve buy one quarter of all videogames that sold. Three quarters of all twelve-year-olds play videogames,while 81 percent of the same age group uses computers for non-homework activities. However, watching television is still by far the most popular activity among young people. In the US, the average eight- to eleven-yearold spends 28 hours per week in front of a TV screen and four hours per week on homework. What is clear from studies around the world is that young people from different cultures share similar interests and do similar activities. The diference is how much free time they have. In some countries, young people complain they do not have enough free time, while in others they say that they have so much free time that they are bored. What do you think?

That is the best way of describing the image you see here. In case you didn't know, that's Jimin, one of the members from k-pop sensation group BTs. There are not many things that represent America better than the most cola drink, so having their faces on it can really show how much influence they have.BTS is a Korean band that debuted in 2013, but as time went on they started to become famous all around the world, and now they are the world's most popular K-pop group.The people who like them say that it's because their music is a great mix of pop and hip-hop, and fans also appreciate that the group members write their own lyrics. If that doesn't impress you, then their talents at singing, rapping and dancing are enough to convince anybody.

Introduction This report investigates popular free-time activities among 12- to 13-year-olds in the U.S. Many teenagers around this age enjoy different outdoor or physical activities, but some of them spend a lot of time indoors doing

sedentary activities. Here we make suggestions for using free time based on a questionnaire applied to fortyone secondary students. Findings According to the questionnaire, the most popular free-time activity among teenagers at this age is hanging out with friends. Nearly 90% of teens do this every day. However, team sports (soccer, baseball, etc.) are also popular daily activities (80%). Only 50% of teens spend more than an hour a day outdoors. At the same time, 75% of them watch television for more than two hours a day.

Recommendations 1. Teenagers should have a balance of indoor and outdoor activities. 2. Teenagers should be more active. Conclusion Many adolescents like physical activities,but don't do them very often. In summary, young people should spend less time watching television and find ways to be more active in their free time.

The Importance of Play.

Do you remember when you were a small child? What games did you play? Kicking a ball? Jumping a rope? Creating an imaginary world? Experts agree that playing is important for children to develop into healthy adults. Here are five ways that play benefits kids:

1. Play helps children develop their own interests.

2. When they play, children learn how to make decisions and solve problems.

3. Children learn how to control their emotions, such as anger and fear, when they play.

4. Play helps children make friends,

5. Play makes children happy!

Play is not just for kids, but for teenagers and adults as well.It helps us learn, it relieves stress, and it makes us more productive at school and at work. Play isn't a luxury- it is a necessity. So when you have some free time, don't just sit and watch TV. Engage in some brain-stimulating play!
