D(2025·南通市如皋期中)
As we all know, people have more free time than before. Why are we still tired? Many of us use lots of free time to play with our phones. Pictures and news keep getting into our minds so we don't feel relaxed(放松的). If you want to be full of energy and feel relaxed, it's important to use your free time wisely. Here's how to do it.
Set your goals(目标). Think about what you want to get in your free time. Do you want to get fit, learn something new or just relax? Don't worry about what you should do. Just think about what will bring you happiness.
Get creative. When we watch TV or read, we are only taking things in. Try to be a creator for a change. Build a model or keep a diary(日记). You will use different parts of your brains(大脑) and feel more energetic.
Meet like-minded people. Everyone has different interests, so friends may have different interests. You can join a club and get to know people with the same interests as you.
Guard(守护) your time. Don't let anything else take up your free time. Make sure you have everything you need to enjoy your free time. Otherwise(否则), you can't find the differences between your free time and everyday life, and you won't feel relaxed.
If you're relaxed, you can think about how to make your life better. Want to be stronger? Learn a skill? There are many groups, clubs and classes and you can join them to help you start a new life. So just go out there and enjoy yourself!
