It’s great. I’d like to tell you about how I relax.Music, movies and sports can make me relaxed, but my favorite way to relax is hiking. At the age of 12, I went hiking with my parents for the first time. And I have been in love with it since then. I go hiking with my friends or parents on weekends. We can enjoy the fresh air and the peaceful country scene. Also, we can have a talk happily.Relaxing is very important for me. If I keep studying for a long time without relaxing, I’ll feel very tired and even I’ll have a headache. This is bad for my health. However, if I relax myself by hiking, I’ll feel happy, energetic and creative. All in all, relaxing is good for my body and mind.Best wishes!Li Jia答案第1页，共1页。
