The British love their gardens. A British newspaper recently asked people for their opinions about them. Around 70% of the people felt it was important to spend time in the garden, and over 50% of these described gardening as the most enjoyable thing .they ever did.

In the early twentieth century, however, gardening became a hobby. People bought different kinds of seeds and plants for their gardens.

The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays”gives them an important change.
Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing (干扰) them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled (控制) by adults,which causes many problems. Children don't know what to do when they are in danger. Even something
like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even slight(小)danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.
Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in dangerous times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.

【推荐3】People always say to students that their main work is to study and they should not spend time on other things. However, most boys are born to love exercise, especially ball exercises. So, they are always blamed (责备) to spend time on playing balls, instead of spending all time on study. I think the idea is wrong. Right exercise is good for study. Exercise can help students relax their mind and body. After a long time study, they need it very much. After relaxing, they can have a good state to study, which will improve their study efficiency (效率). Also, students always can sleep better after exercise. If they sleep well, they can have more energy (能量) on study. It is good for study. But spending too much time on exercise may be bad for study.
