　　1. Why do so many people like going to places with water such as lakes, rivers or the ocean?

　　夏天、凉快

　　It is much cooler for most people if they go to places with water especially in the hot summer. It is of great fun to swim in the water or to boat on the lack. The water can absorb most of the heat wave, so people can feel much better near the water.

　　平静

　　Generally, I think water, especially the ocean can make us feel clam, because the sea is so huge and wide that we can hardly see the end of it. So we will be shocked and amazed by how magnificent the nature mother can be and come to know that how insignificant our human beings are. So we can clear our mind and forget all the disappointed and unhappy moments in life and become more tolerate and open-minded in the future.

　　玩水/各种有意思的活动

　　Take part in various kinds of water sports/ simply play with water

　　看到各种海洋生物

　　We can explore the ocean and see many interesting and creative ocean creatures through snorkelling or diving.

　　放松休闲

　　Compared with many other types of activities, such as climbing a mountain or visiting a museum, going to places like a lake or a river is much more relaxing. The only things that people need to do are to take a good seat facing the water and breathe in the fresh wind coming from away.

　　2. What kinds of leisure activities do people like to do in places such as on the ocean, at a beach, at a river, at a lake etc.?

　　海边玩的活动非常多，我们可以说一些常规的活动，比如就是玩水或者玩沙子，或者是一些比较专业的活动，比如潜水等。下面给大家一些建议：

　　踏浪 splash on the water

　　冲浪 surfing

　　玩沙子 playing with the sand to build creative constructs

　　看日出日落 enjoy the sunrise and sunset

　　吃东西 barbecue on the beach

　　日光浴 sunbath

　　画沙画 sand painting

　　收集贝壳 sea shell collection

　　沙滩排球 Beach Volleyball

　　拍照 taking pictures, especially romantic wedding style photos

　　游泳 swimming

　　水上运动 water sports/ diving/ water skiing

　　划船 boating

　　3. As a place to spend some leisure time, do you think the beach or the seaside is more suitable for children or for old people?

　　更适合孩子：

　　小孩子天生喜欢玩水，哪怕啥特别的项目也没有，就是在海边嬉戏，他们也会超级喜欢的。有很多的适合孩子自己做的事情，比如玩沙子，收集贝壳，都可以开发孩子的想象力和动手能力，对孩子未来的发展很重要。

　　Children just like having fun in the water, swimming or just splashing around. They can spend a whole day on the beach, chasing their peers and chasing the wave.

　　They can use sands to build their own palace, though which their imagination and hands-on ability will be greatly cultivated. This is very important for their future development

　　更适合长者：

　　比较休闲放松，没有剧烈的项目，可以自由的散步欣赏风景

　　More relaxing/ no intense exercise/ they can just walk around the beach and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the ocean.

　　不会有一些比如去现代城市或者等，出现的不适应或者文化冲击，海边游玩不存在太地域性的东西，所有人都能理解接受。

　　The ocean view is generally similar all over the globe, so older people will not suffer from cultural shock, compared with the trip to modern cities, where they may feel disoriented in the concrete jungle, and some remote villages, where the local tradition and lifestyle is so unique and distinctive to be understood.

　　都适合：

　　不同年龄的人都可以从海边的玩耍中获得很大的快乐，所欣赏的风景是一样的。

　　Every age group can have fun on the seaside. The island is suitable both for the younger and the older people, because the natural landscape is the same for all people.

　　小孩和老年的身体条件都是比较有限的，不像成年人一样能适应任何的环境，所以，海边都是适合这样的人群的。

　　The physical conditions of children and old people are limited, unlike adults who can easily adapt to different weather condition and climate. So travelling to seaside is a good choice for them as a more leisure way to spend the holiday.

　　4. Do you think children and old people do the same types of things when they go to a beach?

　　有一样的：轻松的活动

　　There are, of course, some types of activities that both younger and the older generation like to do on the beach. For example, many relaxing activities such as walking on the beach to see the ocean wave, or sitting on the sands to appreciate the beauty of nature are both welcome by each age group.

　　有不一样的：自我陶醉类/运动类

　　There are also some obvious difference between these two age groups. For example, younger people like to spend time on the seaside to just enjoy themselves. By this I mean, they will play with the water or the sand for a very long time without a clear purpose of why they want to do so. Also, they may take some adventurous activities, such as diving, as a way to show off their courage.

　　On the other hand, aged people may prefer just take a sunbath and have a cup of ice drinks. They may have a long conversation with their partners, exchanging ideas and memories. They may not spend a whole day playing or running on the sands, but to relax and enjoy the great view of the ocean, which in their view, may be more satisfactory and fulfilled.
