SECTION C: COMPREHENSION. (10 marks)
Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.
You sometimes choose to spend some quiet time fishing or reading? Or do you enjoy something more energetic like a hike in the mountains? Or perhaps you like to sit around playing games with your friends?  Don't feel guilty when you do this; it's good for you!
Recreation is any activity that you do for enjoyment or pleasure in your free time. All human beings need recreation because working and studying is stressful and physically tiring. 
Life can take its toll! It is said that if you don't find time for recreation, you will soon have to find time for illness! Recreation refreshes both your mind and your body. 
Recreation benefits both your mental and physical well-being. 
If you have been working or studying hard, you will be tired and perhaps quite stressed as well. Recreational activities will help to ease your tension or stress and soothe your nerves so that you will feel ready to go back to working or studying again. 
Recreation can also improve your physical health. Of course this means that you will need to choose activities that provide your body with exercise. 
Sitting around playing a game of tennis or football with some friends benefits both your psychological state and your body. Recreational activities that involve some form of exercise are the body. Recreational activities that involve some form of exercise are the most natural way of staying in good health. And when your body feels good, you are more productive. As the saying goes, a healthy mind in a healthy body!
Sometimes, when we are with people all the time at work or school, it is good to spend some time alone. But doing recreational activities with people who have common interests can also have benefits. This social interaction can give you new ideas and it can be motivating. It also makes you feel that you are a part of a group. This in turn makes you feel more positive and helps to build self-esteem and confidence. 
So recreation is the answer if you are feeling tired and a bit down. Taking time out for recreation will give you more energy for the other things in life that you have to tackle- like studying and working.
