“宅”在家里 Killing Time Indoors

　　Nowadays a growing number of people, especiallythe 20s or 30s, tend to stay indoors for most of their spare time, especially on holidays. Somespend the majority of the time online chatting, blogging, shopping, dating or playing computergames. Some sit with their eyes glued to the television screen, day and night.

　　Peoples opinions vary when it comes to this way of killing time. A great number of peoplemaintain that staying indoors is cheap, comfortable, and most importantly, very safe. Others,however, frown upon staying indoors for too long. They are worried that lack of physicalexercise and face-to-face communication with others will do harm to peoples body and mind.

　　Personally, I dont think staying indoors for most of the day should be advocated. Instead,people in all ages, their physical conditions permitting, should be encouraged to spend moretime outdoors. The brilliant sunshine, the pleasant green space, the interactions with otherpeople, etc. are all good for peoples health, both physically and psychologically.
