【權威點評】

這是一篇說明文。文章指出休閑活動對身體健康的好處，也相信人們會越來越關注休閑活動，以保持身體的健康。

全文中心突出，層次分明，語言精練，條理清晰。作者對話題的積極意義表述恰當，所介紹的休閑方法有可操作性。總之，這是一篇優秀的學生作文。

【思路解析】

首先，用列舉法說明什么是休閑活動，并指出了休閑活動的重要性；然后，從反面介紹許多人一味地學習和工作，忽略了休閑活動，從而對身心健康帶來不良的影響，并就此提出了一些可促使改善不良影響的休閑活動項目；最后，呼吁人們維持工作與休閑的平衡，保持身心健康。

2.布局謀篇

文章開頭應要介紹曾經參與或目睹的歌唱比賽，可以用“It is my honor to...”等句型來表明自己有幸參與過或目睹過該活動。接下來，交代參賽選手的狀況或與自己的（經歷）作對比。比賽過程要敘述清楚，可夾敘夾議，以突出心理感受，然后指出比賽的結果和同學們的看法。最后，進一步表明自己對歌唱這種娛樂活動的看法和態度。

【參考范文】

It was a great honor that I had a chance to take part in a singing contest in our schoollast week.

There were ten competitors in our contest and I was the last one to sing.I was very nervous when I was waiting for my turn to sing because the other competitors all sang well.However，I tried my best to calm down myself.Finally，I won the second prize in the singing contest.Some of my classmates thought that the singing contest could improveourself-confidencewhileothers thought that it wasted our study time.

If I have an opportunity to join in a television singing contest，I will take it because it is good for me to improve my singing skill.
