For our emotional well-being: They help us express our feelings, feel more confident, and deal with negative emotions. After reading 2. Why might some people think that "playing the guitar is a waste of time ? Answer: Some people might think that because they are very busy with important things like schoolwork or jobs. They may not realize that playing the guitar can be a great way to stay healthy. After reading 3. What does the writer mean by "it is important to find the right balance." Answer: The writer means that we should not spend too much time on hobbies that have bad effects, like too much screen time. Instead, we should choose hobbies that are good for our health and do them with friends sometimes, so we can enjoy life without hurting our health or feeling lonely. After reading 4. What do you think "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" means! Do you agree? Answer: Meaning: It means if a person only works and never plays or relaxes, they will become boring, tired, and not creative. Agree or not? (参考) Yes, I agree. Because if we only study or work, we can feel too stressed and tired. Hobbies help us relax and feel happy, so we can do better when we work. No, I don't fully agree. Because some people really enjoy their work, and their work is also their “play.” But for most people, I think balance is still important. After reading 5. What is your favourite hobby? How does it help you? My favourite hobby is ________. It helps me in two/three ways: First, it helps me ________. (e.g., relax after a long day) Second, it helps me ________.

Flow is a mental state. It’s when you are completely focused on an activity. You are so involved that you forget about time, problems, and even yourself. In simple terms: Flow = Full focus + Full enjoyment. “心流”是什么？（为学生准备的英文解释）“心流”是一种心理状态。当你全身心投入到一项活动中时就是处于这种状态。你会如此投入其中，以至于会忘记时间、问题，甚至忘记自己。简单来说：心流= 全神贯注 + 全身心享受。 22 日期 Work Hard (我专注做了…) Play Hard (我享受做了…) Mon finished math homework played basketball for 30 mins Fri ... ... 周末总结 哪天的“平衡”感觉最好？为什么 一周挑战记录 任务：践行“Work Hard, Play Hard”一周，并做简单记录。 要求：使用下方表格，每天用1-2个英语词或句子记录。 $
