After stepping into the 21th century, our citizens' life became busier and busier. Under the stressful work and the pressure of the life, most people feel unhappy and tired. So I think we need to have more entertainments in our daily life.

I like doing sports in my leisure time. Generally, I would like to play basketball with my friends. Between playing the games, not only our playing skills will be better but also strengthen our friendships. Although after playing a basketball match that I would felt tired, I didn't feel nervous anymore. Furthermore, I like singing too. When I singing in the open air, I felt my heart was losing its weight. And then, I was very happy at that time. What's more, I usually read a book or some essays. When I learnt some new knowledge from the books or the essays, I had a satisfy feeling.

Nowadays, the new world is a competitive world. No matter how smart you are, you need a strong body. So when you feel there is something wrong with yourself, no matter physical or psychology. Please put down your work, go outside and do anything what you like.

I am sure when you finish your leisure activities, you will feel better.

2 Language communication

Entering the 21st century, man is now in an age of information and knowledge. In such an age, interpersonal communication plays an increasingly important role and all people have to communicate with others.

Why is interpersonal communication so important? First, it helps people understand each other better. Second, it helps people get more information and knowledge. Third, without interpersonal communication, our life would become a desert of emotion and friendship. Last but not the least, communication between people makes our life lively, interesting and lovely.

In a word, humans, as social animals, have to communicate with each other, the importance of which can never be overemphasized.

Why is interpersonal communication so important? Interpersonal communication is just like a bridge of understanding between people. For example, it helps students to learn more effectively if one can communicate more with his teachers and classmates. In a family, communication makes the family members understand each other better and get closer. In the workplace, communication between the employer and the employed creates a friendly and helpful working environment.

3.Differences between men and women

There are differences in best practice for teaching girls compared with teaching boys. That doesn't mean that all girls learn one way and all boys learn another way. It DOES mean that there are significant differences in the ways girls and boys learn, differences which are more substantial than age differences in many ways. In other words, a 7-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy differ, on average, on parameters such as "How long can you sit still, be quiet, and pay attention?" Those differences between a same-age girl and same-age boy are larger than differences between, say, a 7-year-old girl and a

9-year-old girl. Most American schools segregate kids on the basis of age differences: they put 7-year-olds in one classroom and

9-year-olds in another classroom. And yet, the research clearly demonstrates that the sex differences in learning (between a

7-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy) are larger than the age differences (e.g. between a 7-year-old girl and a 9-year-old girl). Interestingly, the differences appear to be greatest among the YOUNGEST children. If you visit an all-girls kindergarten and then an all-boys kindergarten, you will be struck by how differently the children learn. If you visit an all-girls 12th-grade classroom and an all-boys

12th-grade classroom, the differences are much more subtle.
