Deciding whether or not to take part in an extracurricular (课外的) activity can be a challenge. Before signing up to play on the volleyball team, first consider the advantages and disadvantages of such a decision.
While these activities have many advantages, students should consider the downside as well.
Another downside of extracurricular activities involves transportation.
Only you can decide if extracurricular activities are right for you. These activities can help you succeed in many areas of your life.
A.Some clubs met after school. |
B.We were both in the same age group. |
C.I met my best friend when we were on the swim team. |
D.One downside is that it can create a busy life for students. |
E.Many students are tired of all the things they have to do. |
F.Taking part in extracurricular activities has many advantages. |
G.However, you need good time management skills to deal with a busy life. |
When we were kids, summer activities were a great escape. My only goal each day was to figure out the bigger thrill: hide-and-seek with my cousins, a ball game with my brother, or rereading detective stories for hours on end. Fun was the only endgame(最后阶段).
The first step towards having more fun with summer activities is setting aside time for it.
Then be a tourist in your own town. When you live somewhere long enough, it stops being an interesting destination and becomes just the surrounding area.
Your interests have probably changed as you have got older, but that doesn’t mean what you did as a kid isn’t exciting. So invoke(唤起) your inner child. Head to the park and play a game of basketball with your cousins or take your dog to the park for a game of Frisbee.
Whatever you decide to do, make sure you enjoy yourself to the fullest because summer’s best days will be here and gone before you know it.
A.We are adults now or almost. |
B.But that doesn’t mean it does no harm. |
C.Treat your hometown like a new destination. |
D.Carve out some quality time to do absolutely nothing. |
E.Make weekends meaningful by setting good boundaries. |
F.Borrow some baseball gloves and play catch with friends. |
G.But when was the last time you actually did any of those things? |
