六、书面表达范文:
Recently,I have conducted a survey on what hobbies students prefer to have during their spare time.Doing sports,as 53% of them choose,takes the lead,while surfing the Internet follows closely behind,which is the choice of 36% of them.Only 8% and 3% of them do some reading and playing music instruments separately.However,53% of them tend to stick to the Internet for entertainment,which arouses my attention.On the basis of the conclusion of the survey,my points of view are as follows.
To my relief,more than half of the students are keen on doing sports regularly.Teenagers nowadays have come to realize that sports serve as a kind of recreation after a day's hard work.Only when they have exercised regularly will they be more absorbed in their studies later on.
Like a coin,Internet has two sides and what we can acquire from the Internet depends on how we use it.Some teenagers may be tempted to chat online and play video games,while leaving their studies untouched.The results of their studies are bound to be affected in the long run.It's high time that we should prevent the present situation from worsening.
