Question

【題目】Is it worth taking after-school activities for kids in their daily life? Kids in Australia usually do after-school activities in their free time. The activities usually include part-time jobs, community service, sports training and club activities.

Amy, Rose and May, three teenagers from Marryatville High School, gave us their views.

Yes, but only up to a point. You may join many clubs and take part in different kinds of activities to make sure that your college application will stand out. But don’t stress yourself out. You shouldn’t have over 5 after-school activities in your spare time. What’s more, the activities you choose should show what you really love or you have interest in. ---Amy

Yes, take as many as you like. After-school activities make our life more colorful and make us happier in our daily life. They also help us make many more good friends. In addition, we can learn much from these activities. ---Rose

Yes, but quality(質(zhì)量) wins over quantity. Nowadays, more and more teenagers are under great pressure. The stress comes from studies, their family and the social life. Taking after-school activities helps them relax themselves. But I think it’s better to have two to three after-school activities that you often join in. Don’t do those activities which you don’t like. ---May
