One possible version:
Nowadays, many students prefer to surf on the Internet or watch TV all day in their spare time. They don’t want to do any outdoor activities or to help their parents with housework. I don’t think it is good for us to do so. We should spend our spare time in a better way. This is my plan of the winter vacation.
I’m going to do sports regularly. By doing this, I could not only keep healthy but also relax myself, It will be a good idea to go out with my friends, such as climbing hills and joining some clubs. What’s more, I’m going to help my parents do some housework. I’m one of my family and I love my parents, so I should share the housework to make our home cleaner and more comfortable.
