1.What are the most popular ways of relaxing in your country?
Well, there are obviously many different ways to relax here in China. Nowadays, we often use
technology as a way to entertain ourselves. Young people usually like to watch TV or surf the
Internet. It has become very common for adolescents
（＝
teenagers) to go online and chat with their
friends
．
In China, we use a very convenient Instant Messenger program called QQ
．
Actually this
software provides many online games which are very popular among teens and young adults

addition to these new forms of entertainment, many people practice sports as a way to unwind
（＝
relax). People of all ages frequently go swimming or jogging. A lot of male students are big
basketball fans, and they get together with their friends on a regular basis to have fun. Older people
enjoy badminton and dancing in public squares. Finally, I should definitely mention shopping,
which seems to be a trendy way for girls to relax. And in China, it is very common for people to
hang out at a karaoke bar, and sing songs with friends.
2. What are the dangers of having no regular relaxation?
People should definitely relax after work or after studying hard in order to rest. If people don't
take it easy, they will become burned out; they won't be as efficient as they should be; they might
even lose interest in their job. These people will definitely get tired and stressed
．
I think that when
you always think about your job or your studies, you will feel quite tense, and you might get easily
frustrated
（＝
irritated
＝
annoyed)
．
People who don't know how to take it easy will become
workaholics, which means they don't know how to enjoy life. They might forget about their friends
or their family.
