Ways to spend the weekend
As_can_be_seen_from_the_chart，senior three students have different ways to spend their weekends. Going back home and having a good rest is what most students would like to do，while 25% students choose to study at school during weekends. The least students，accounting for 15%，take outdoor activities to spend their weekends.
Various reasons are responsible for their different choices. Those who choose to go back home believe that a good rest does help them relax and work more efficiently during the school time. Outdoor－activity lovers hold the opinion that taking exercise is a wonderful way to refresh themselves. However，a small number of students living far away from home tend to stay at school to save every minute to study.

Personally，despite the heavy study pressure，senior three year doesn’t mean studying all the time. Sometimes a good rest and proper exercise can be of vital importance.
