1. Is having outdoor activities important to people?
Most certainly. Not only does it keep people healthy physically by helping them maintain a healthy weight but it also helps people stay healthy mentally as well. Many rely on outdoor activities like sports for relaxation after long working and/or studying hours.
- maintain a healthy weight: duy trì mức cân nặng
2. Do people go outdoors more or less now than in the past?
I would say overall people spend less time outdoors nowadays. For one, in the past, people used to have more labor work, many of which were done outdoors. In terms of entertainment, with modern technology people don’t have to leave their homes since even sports can be played indoors now.
- labor work: việc tay chân
3. What can people do outdoors besides exercising?
I think picnics are a popular outdoor activity, especially for friends and couples. Since it’s pretty laid back, you can bring food, have a chat while enjoying natural scenery. If you are in a more remote area then star-gazing would be a great idea as well. The stars at night can be stunningly beautiful and it’s a great head start to learning astronomy.
- laid back: thư thả
- star-gazing (n) ngắm sao
- stunningly beautiful (a) tuyệt đẹp
- astronomy (n) thiên văn học
4. When do people usually go outdoors to get close to nature?
I guess nature offers a sort of escape from the hustle and bustle of city life or life in general. People usually look to nature when they need a moment to decompress, relax and reenergize. This is especially true for people working corporate jobs because due to the busy schedule, they barely have any time to enjoy nature and they would benefit greatly from it.
- hustle and bustle: bận rộn, náo nhiệt
- decompress (v) xả stress
- reenergize (v) nạp năng lượng
- corporate job: công việc công sở
5. What can people do to get close to nature?
Where you live really matters here. If you live in the cities, it will be much harder to do so since it’s a concrete jungle like many people say. So I would say parks are your best bet to get some quality nature time and more parks have been popping up in cities lately. If you reside in the countryside, then it would be much easier since you can go on a hike, swim in lakes or visit the beach.
- concrete jungle: khu rừng bê tông (thường dùng để miêu tả thành phố ít cây xanh, nhà sát nhà)
- quality time: khoảng thời gian tập trung vào gì
- pop up: xuất hiện
6. Do people like doing outdoor activities in the winter time?”
Well depending on the activity and the person. In some places in the world, there will be heaps of snow in the winter, thus people can do a lot of winter sports like skiing or snowboarding which I know many people are huge fans of. However, spending time outside when it’s freezing is not the most comfortable feeling and not a good idea for those who are prone to catching colds.
- prone to: dễ bị
