减负之后，中学生有了更多的课余时间，是选择暂时放下繁重的课业，去户外享受美好青春时光，还是读一本书、看一场电影？如何让课余时间更有意义？听听孩子们怎么说。

习作：
Nowadays， we students have much more free time than ever before. But quite a number of students in our school don’t know how to make good use of their spare time. Some of them play computer games， some watch TV and some chat with others.
I think these activities are meaningless. We can make better use of our spare time by doing the following：
First， we can do more sports to make us stronger and healthier. Second， joining in social activities is a good way to know the world outside our campus. Third， read more books. Books are our friends. At last， try to do some housework. Doing some housework will make you love your parents more.
In a word， don’t waste your time any more.
點评：
作者先用“Some...，some...and some...”列举同学们的行为，然后阐明自己的观点，用“First...Second...Third...At last...”给出建议，用法准确、思路清晰。

习作：
Nowadays， we students have more free time than ever before. But quite a number of students in our school don’t make good use of it. Some students often watch TV， some students play computer games several hours a day， and other students chat with their friends in their spare time.
I don’t think these are good practices. Some students in our school agree with me. There are many interesting things we can do. We can take part in some social activities to help others. We can do sports to keep healthy and do housework to help our parents. If you feel tired， it also should be a good idea to read more books because by doing so we’ll eich our knowledge.
What do you think about it？ If you agree with me， let’s do it together.
点评：
作者以 “I don’t think ...”过渡，观点鲜明。在提出建议时，用到了“it is a good idea to do sth.”这一句型。

习作：
Nowadays， we students have much more free time than ever before. But many students in our school don’t make good use of their spare time. They spend too much time in watching TV， playing computer games， chatting with others on their computer， and so on.
In my opinion， both playing computer games and chatting with others on computer are boring. I think it is important to make better use of our spare time. We can take part in interest groups or read more books. If you are kind， you can take part in social activities to help others. Doing sports to keep healthy is also a good idea. And if you are at home， remember to do some housework to help your parents.
