Prediction
Based on the title and your own experience, what do you think the phrase "Work Hard, Play Hard" might mean in Chinese
What physical benefits will the passage say active hobbies (like hiking) bring
What problem might the passage mention about playing too many computer games
Prediction
Read and answer
Work Hard, Play Hard
It can be hard to make time for a hobby when we have
many important things to do. But hobbies might be more
important than you think.
Physical hobbies like going hiking or playing tennis can help
you to stay healthy. They keep you fit, and they can even
lower stress and improve your memory and concentration. Other types of hobbies
can also keep us healthy. Some scientists believe that making music can lower our
blood pressure and make our body stronger. This makes it harder for us to fall sick.
Playing an instrument also keeps our brains young. So, if you think that playing the
guitar is a waste of time, remember that this hobby is actually a great way to stay
healthy!
Hobbies are also good foryour emotional well-being.Creative hobbies like painting or
writing can help you deal with negative emotions by giving you a way to express how
you feel. They can even make you feel good about yourself! In one study, after just
45 minutes of making art, most of the participants reported feeling more confident
in themselves!
However, while hobbies have many benefits, it is important to find the right balance.
Playing computer games or chatting online may be fun, but such hobbies usually
involve a lot of screen time. That could cause problems such as eye strain or poor
sleep.These activities are also usually done alone, and that could cause some people
to feel lonely. Why not choose an outdoor hobby instead Fresh air, green spaces,
peace and quiet—these things help us to relax and feel good.And if you go hiking or
fly a kite in the park, you can take a friend with you! Hanging out with friends reduces
loneliness and can be a good way to build relationships.
Regardless of what your hobby is, it is important to make time for it.After all, all work
and no play makes Jack a dullboy!
Based on the title and your own experience, what do you think the phrase "Work Hard, Play Hard" might mean in Chinese

尽情玩乐。
