What will you do in your free time? Are you playing games with your phones? During ancient (古代的) times, of course, children didn’t have smart phones, iPads or computers to have fun. Instead, they thought up interesting games to play in their childhood. Let’s take a look.
Jumping rope was popular in ancient China. Children would use ropes made of grass or other materials. They jumped over the rope while it was being swung, and this activity could improve their physical coordination (协调).
Hide-and-seek(捉迷藏) is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. There are two ways to play: covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to play a trick on him or, more commonly, others hide and one child, the seeker, must try to find them. This game tested children’s sense of space(空间感) and their ability(能力) to think quickly.
Kites have quite a long history in China. The earliest(最早的) kites weren’t made of paper. They were made of wood instead. Nowadays, the three most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite and Weifang kite. Each has its own style. For example, the bird-shaped (形状) kite with long wings is a special kind of the Beijing kite.
The most similar thing to watching a film during ancient times was going to watch a shadow play (皮影戏). The artists controlled (控制) puppets(木偶,人偶) behind the screen to make the puppets move like people and tell stories. Kids liked listening to the music and enjoyed the beautiful puppets. Sometimes they make their own easy shadow puppets with their hands. That can improve their imagination(想象力)and artistic creativity.

When we talk about reading, we may think of eyes, because we do the reading with eyes. But we can do some reading with ears, too. With the development of smartphones, it’s getting easier to do some reading with ears—by listening to stories, news, novels (小说) and so on. This is audio reading (有声阅读). When is the best time to do audio reading?
Many people like doing audio reading in bed before going to sleep. They like to just stay in bed in the dark before they fall asleep. This would be the best time to do some audio reading. If you read a book made of paper, the lights have to be turned on and you have to turn the pages with your hands.
People can do audio reading when the legs, body and arms are kept busy. It is favorite when people are exercising or doing housework. Some people would like to do audio reading in the kitchen. They think it’s boring to cook. So they can enjoy their time by listening to news or stories at the same time.
Also, audio reading is helpful for blind people who can’t see. It’s difficult for them to do reading in the past. But now, with the help of audio reading, they can listen to what they want.
But be careful! Don’t make yourself and others in danger. Let’s take driving for example (例子). If you lose yourself in listening, you can’t drive well. It is sometimes dangerous.

We went camping in a small village in India.First,we took a long bus ride to a lake in the countryside.There we put up our tents and made a fire to keep us warm and cook food on. On the first night,we just sat under the moon and told each other stories.But I was so tired that I went to sleep early.
The next morning,my sister and I got a terrible surprise.When we looked out of our tent, we saw a big snake sleeping near the fire.I was so scared that I couldn't move.We shouted to our parents to let them know about the danger.My dad started to jump up and down in their tent.This woke the snake up and it moved into the forest near the lake.My dad told me later that snakes don't have ears but can feel things moving.He also told me it was important not to go near a snake.This was a very useful lesson for me.
