Nowadays, more and more Chinese teenagers are becoming homebodies (someone who enjoys being at home). They(很少) or never play sports outside. The problem should get plenty of  (注意) of parents.

    Pressure of heavy schoolwork causes this situation. Hu Mei, a homebody from Nanshan (语言) School in Shenzhen, is busy with lots of homework. "I don't want to get behind or (不及格) the exam," she said.

    Li Juan,  (另一个) homebody, was born in 2002. She watches popular TV plays and plays with her (可移动的) phone at home. She hates playing outdoor sports. Even if this isn't a problem, kids still prefer indoor life. Wang Yi, 13, from No.50 Middle School in Anhui Province, often reads some(小说) about Harry Potter and surfs the Internet. "I prefer doing things I like at home to(出席) a concert outside," she said.

    (国外) students think quite differently. They don't like staying indoors at all. They spend their free time outdoors even if it just means going to the park or reading a book under the tree. Nice weather, little homework and rich after-school (活动) get them to do that.
