66、作文：Since the regular school-running policy was performed, the students now have more free time on Saturdays and Sundays. So the English Club in our school invited me to do an investigation on how the students spend their weekends. I find that almost half of the students study by themselves at home.
67、About 25% of them prefer to watch TV or listen to music. 20% of them like to chat online or play computer games, while 10% of them help their parents do housework. Only a small number of them go in for sports or travelling.In my opinion, all of us students should have a proper plan for our weekends. We should make good use of our time, learning more knowledge, and developing our interests. We should also learn to relax, but I dont think its a good idea to spend too much time watching TV, chatting online or playing computer games.
