with the working hours becoming shorter and shorter and holidays becoming longer and longer, how to spend the leisure time has become a hot topic.

　　the use of free time often discloses much about one＇s tastes, values, interests and personality. some may take to the humanities: literature, magic, art, and they might be interested in movies and television. others participate in sports, politics, voluntary work or hobbies at home. still others like parties, traveling, .or just loafing.

　　obviously, the use of free time is a good means of relaxation, but its benefits go beyond this. all things people do in leisure hours enable them to gratify their wishes. this can contribute to intellectual growth and promote social activities as well.

　　so the good use of free time will make life rich, colorful and rewarding.

　　隨著工作時間的越來越短假日的越來越長，如何度過空閑時間已經成為一個熱點話題。

　　空余時間的利用往往透露出一個人的品位、價值、興趣和個性。有些人喜歡文學、巫術和藝術等人文學科，他們也許對電影、電視感興趣，另一些人參加運動、政治、志愿工作或者在家做喜歡的事情，還有一些喜歡聚會、旅游或者只樣生活就沒有趣味可言了。我們一直忙于謀生。雖然我們可以通過努力工作取得幸福、滿足和成功，但人不是機器。迷就是說；我們應當適當地休息。如果我們經常從事遠足、跳舞、釣魚、登山(在空閑時間里)等活動，我們的生活將變得多姿多彩。另-千方面，如果你只有娛樂而不工作也是不可取的。所以，在人們的生活中，工作和娛樂應互相結合。

　　為了生活得更快樂，我們應保持工作和娛樂的平衡。
