Recreational Activities

With the development of society, people paymore attention to the quality of their lives.Therefore, all kinds of recreational activities appears, such as climbing mountains, hiking, havinga picnic and so on. The diversity of the recreational activities entertains people in their leisure time,especially in holiday.

To some degree, recreational activities enrich people's lives. Those who take part in different activities will not be easy to feel lonely or bored and can live a colorful life. Second, it also gives them a good mood to study or work effectively. However, these recreational activities also bring some negative impacts. For onething, participating in too many activities will increase the burden on the money and time. For another, some recreational activities do harm to people's health,particularly staying up, drinking and smoking.

In my opinion, taking part in these activities is a flavor of life, but we should make a careful consideration.
