These days, Chinese children are sometimes busier on weekends than weekdays because they have to take so many after-school classes. Many of them are learning exam skills so that they can get into a good high school and later a good university. Others are practicing sports so that they can compete and win. However, this doesn’t only happen in China.
The Taylors are a typical American family. Life for Cathy Taylor’s three children is very busy. “On most days after school,” Cathy says, “I take one of my two boys to basketball practice and my daughter to football training. Then I have to take my other son to piano lessons. Maybe I could cut out a few of their activities, but I believe these activities are important for my children’s future. I really want them to be successful.” However, the tired children don’t get home until after 7:00 p.m. They have a quick dinner, and then it’s time for homework.
Maybe You Should Learn to Relax!

Linda Miller, a mother of three, knows all about such stress. “In some families, competition starts very young and continues until the kids get older,” she says. “Mothers send their small kids to all kinds of classes. And they are always comparing them with other children. It’s crazy. I don’t think that’s fair. Why don’t they just let their kids be kids People shouldn’t push their kids so hard.”
Doctors say too much pressure is not good for a child’s development. Dr. Alice Green says all these activities can cause a lot of stress for children. “Kids should have time to relax and think for themselves, too. Although it’s normal to want successful children, it’s even more important to have happy children.”

What do you think of after-school classes
In the world today, all of the people need to have fun when they are free. We can’t work all the time if we are going to keep healthy and enjoy life.
Everyone has his own way of relaxing. Perhaps the most popular form(形式) is to take part in sports. There are team sports, such as basketball and football. There are also individual(个人的)sports, such as swimming and running. Skating and mountain climbing are the most popular
recreation(消遣) for people who like to be outdoors.
Not everyone who enjoys sports likes to take part in them. Many people like watching them on TV or listening to them on the radio. So many people like some indoor relaxation, such as watching TV, singing and dancing.

Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round
Or listened to the rain slapping on the ground
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night
你曾否看过孩子们骑旋转木马
或听过雨水拍打地面的声音呢
你曾否追逐过飘忽不定的蝴蝶
或看着夕阳消失于地平线呢
You’d better slow down,
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short,
The music won't last.
放慢你的舞步
不要匆匆忙忙
人生苦短
音乐不会永远奏下去。
Do you run through each day on the fly
When you ask "How are you ", do you hear the reply
你是否每天忙个不停
当问候别人时，你真的在意他们的回答吗
When the day is done, do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores running through your head
每晚就寝时
你是否仍在脑海中念叨着无数的杂事呢
You’d better slow down,
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short,
The music won't last.
放慢你的舞步
不要匆匆忙忙
人生苦短
音乐不会永远奏下去。
