题目内容

The way we spend our time can be divided into three “bottles”. These are the necessary tasks(任务) bottle, the voluntary(自愿的) tasks bottle and the happiness bottle.

Every day, we spend time filling the necessary tasks bottle with useful things, like making money, buying food and paying bills. We then fill another bottle with voluntary tasks. These are things that we do for others, but we may not enjoy them. This bottle gets filled with tasks like taking children to activities, cooking family meals, and washing your husband’s socks. Those bottles are very important. If we don’t fill them each day, our family won’t run well.

However, we often forget to fill the third bottle—the happiness bottle that we fill with enjoyable activities. Is your happiness bottle sometimes empty at the end of the day? Between doing all the necessary and voluntary tasks, time flies fast, and before we know it, it is time for bed. We all have days like that.

This is why each day we must try to fill our happiness bottle. I usually fill mine by going to the dancing class. But this week, I had the happiness of taking part in a guitar practice in my neighborhood. We showed our musical talent and practiced music for charity. It was a time of fun, friendship and music making. At the end of the evening, my happiness bottle was filled to top.
