In the past, I used to play basketball with my teammates after school when I felt stressed. But now I have summer holiday. So I, um, I usually use social media sites to release stress, uh, because I study very hard. Uh, at first I use social media platforms for checking messages from my friends and then I watch some videos on Facebook or TikTok. Uh, the content I consume on social media is often superficial, offering little depth and value. Um, I really enjoy this moment, but the enjoyment I get from social media is fleeting. It doesn't provide me lasting satisfaction, um, although I use social media to relax. But there are some times that I use it for three or four hours, and I think it is often counterproductive because it leaves me, uh, it makes me really tired and fatigued. Um. Yeah, I hope in the future I will play basketball games, which is good for my health and helps me maintain a healthy lifestyle. I want to avoid cardiovascular problems and uh, I want to have enough time for exercise. My parents and friends, you know, I need to find a better balance. So, yeah.
