Here are some great ways to relax through after-school activities. Sport and Physical Exercise Playing sport like basketball, swimming, or even going for a run can help you feel relaxed. Physical activity releases stress hormones (释放应激激素) and makes your body feel light and active. It also improves your mood (情绪). Creative Hobbies Drawing, painting, or writing stories can calm you down. These activities allow you to express your feelings in a creative way. For example, you can draw your favourite characters or write about your day. This helps you focus on something enjoyable instead of school stress. Music and Relaxation Listening to soft music or playing an instrument can reduce stress. Studies show that music like classical or light pop can slow down your heart rate (心率) and help you focus on study better. Some students even find that listening to music while resting improves their memory. Social Activities Spending time with friends or family — such as watching a movie, playing board games, or simply talking — can make you feel happy. Communicating helps you share your worries and laugh together, which is a natural way to relax. Quiet Time in Nature If you prefer peace, try walking in a park or sitting under a tree. Fresh air and natural scenery can clear (变清晰) your mind. Even a short break outdoors can make you feel more energetic. ( )1. What can we learn about physical exercise according to the text?
