You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below:1.娱乐活动多种多样2.娱乐活动可以使人们受益，也可能带来危害3.作为大学生，我认为Title: Recreational ActivitiesSample 1:Recreational Activities21st century has brought with it an unprecedented variety of recreational activities ranging from traditional outdoor activities such as playing ball games to all kinds of online ones, the latter of which is a great appeal to the younger generations. So Id like to narrow my topic down to online recreational activities.It goes without saying that various activities brought by modern technology have greatly broadened our horizon and brought much excitement to us. With access to the Internet, you can get to know people from any country in the world and you can talk with them, play games with them - a temptation very hard to resist, and even see them via web camera.

People can do sports, sing karaoke, go dancing, go to the movies, play video/online games, or surf the Internet. Recreational activities are good to peoples health, both physically and mentally.
