A hobby is something you enjoy doing when you're free.     ①     . Western people like to try exciting new things. They like to go on adventures（冒险）and often do something physically  challenging（体力挑战）.     ②     . They usually do something like handwriting or painting for fun.

Hobbies can bring us great joy as well as a lot of knowledge.     ③     . Making things can develop our imagination（想象力）and creation （创造力）. Sports can help us stay healthy. Hobbies are fun.     ④     . Sometimes we have to spend a lot of time studying

for our hobbies. But I think that if you really enjoy doing something, you should never give up. And then you will have a lot of fun with your hobby.

    Are you trying to live a healthy life? The following tips may sound strange, but they can really help you.

    Exercise when you are tired

    After a long and tiring day of study, an offer to exercise might not sound like a good idea, but it should. In fact, physical activities can provide you with the missing energy. Research shows that exercising for just 30 minutes can make you feel good!

    Write by hand to help the brain be active

    Although writing something using a computer is faster, it is much better to remember the whole thing by writing it down by hand. When you read a handwritten text, naturally it's easier for your brains to remember the information.

    Spare more time for yourself

    By sparing the time for yourself and just being alone for a while, you can have a chance to think and get to know yourself better. And you won't behave impulsively (易冲动地).

    Drink hot drinks on a hot day

    What cools more on a hot summer morning, cold water or hot water? A study shows that the hot water does make people feel cooler. When you are drinking something hot, the body will feel the change in temperature and increase the perspiration (流汗), which helps you cool down!
