A study shows that today's children play outdoors just half as much as their parents did when they were young.

Figures show that in the 1970s and 1980s children enjoyed more than two hours of outside play on weekdays,and even nine hours on weekends—whatever the weather is. But today's youngsters (年轻人，小孩) stay outside for just over an hour on weekdays,and fewer than five hours on Saturdays and Sundays.
It also shows that 58 per cent of parents wish their children played outdoors more often,and they seriously worry their children don't spend enough time playing outdoors.
In fact,playing outdoors is so important for children—not only to help them stay active and healthy,but also to communicate (交流) with friends,and make those colorful childhood (童年时代) which we look back on so warmly.
