Please look at the photo on the Internet. They call it the “great queue of China”. It was a picture showing a visitor on the Great Wall near Beijing during the National Day. Behind him were thousands of heads of other visitors. The famous travel spots (景点) in Beijing like the Great Wall,the Palace Museum and Tian’ anmen Square, welcomed more than 180,000 visitors in a sin-gle day.

How do students spend their spare time after finishing their homework? Watch TV,play computer games,or go outside to relax? Here's a good example.

Tim and Kerry Meek are both teachers. They live in the UK with their two daughters: eleven-year-old Amy and nine-year-old Ella. Recently,the Meek family has become the focus of the whole country after they completed 100 different outdoor activities in one year.

The Meek couple didn't want their children to spend all their free time in front of the TV and become “couch potatoes”. So about one year ago,the Meeks decided that watching TV and playing computer games were not permitted. Instead,they set 100 tasks for thi" two girls to do outside. Although Mr and Mrs Meek are not outdoor activity fans,they took part in all the activities to encourage their daughters. It turns out that the two sisters really had a good time joining activities.

Every holiday and weekend,whether it's sunny,rainy or snowy,the Meeks would set off to try the activities on their list,including hiking,sailing,climbing,skiing,and so on. The two little girls not only had a wonderful time,but also learned a lot of skills from the activities. They were even able to stand up in front of their school to give a talk for charity. “ Our friends spend a lot of their free time doing things which are harmful to their health. Luckily,we ,ve had the chance toexperience something different. ” Amy and Ella also helped their parents to draw up a new list of challenges for the next 12 months.
