5. Would you say people spend more time outdoors
 today than they did?
Actually, I don’t think so. Nowadays, people tend to
stay indoors more because they are surrounded by so
many kinds of technology devices such as
televisions, smartphones, computers, etc. It is
extremely easy to get addicted to these things, and
ppl don’t have to take face-to-face meetings to talk.
It’s common to see a family where parents are busy
working on computers and smartphones while the
kids are concentrating on playing games, and not
excited to go outside. In contrast, in my parents’
generation, life was much simpler and people usually
went out more to enjoy the fresh air and meet
up with friends.

nowadays TV programs are more invested wisely and
carefully. You know, wih high-tech devices, attractive

form of entertainment but it is more than a tool for peole
