After-class Activities 课外活动

Nowadays, after-class activities are being more and more popular in high schools. In our school, there are various kinds of activities, for example, arts and sports. We enjoy them very much. Playing football and reading stories are my favorites which do me lots of good. Besides building my body and enriching my knowledge, they also free me from the heavy work of study.

Here I have some suggestions. To students, you'd better choose the activities which interest you and suit you; to schools, they should organize more activities for students and leave students more time for activities by giving them less homework.

Dear friends, please actively take part in after-class activities, which will not only make your school life colorful, but also improve you learning.

如今，课外活动在中学越来越受欢迎。在我们学校，有各种各样的活动，例如艺术和体育。我们非常喜欢这些。读书和踢足球是我的最喜欢的并且使我获益良多。除了强身健体和丰富我的知识，也让我从繁重的学业中解脱出来。

我这里有一些建议。做为学生应该选择你最感兴趣最适合你的活动；学校应该为学生们组织更多的活动，给学生们更少的作业让他们更多的活动时间。

亲爱的朋友们，请大家积极参加课外活动，这不仅使你的校园生活丰富多彩，而且还能提高你的学习。
