work and play do not contradict each other; in fact, they complement each other. as the saying goes, "all work and no play makes jack a dull boy." a life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work.
on the other hand, proper recreation will relieve the tension and discomfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotions.
what i usually do to relax after school is jogging and seeing movies. usually i don"t spare time for exercise, but i value the physical education class at school. jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the day"s pressure. on weekends, i"ll catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment. i feel revived and energetic for another week"s work-load.
