【正确答案】：In their spare time, some people prefer staying at home enjoying themselves, and some like going out for fun. Which do you prefer?Some people prefer to stay at home. They can stay with their families and have more flexible time to do what they like. They also can use their leisure time to prepare for their study or work. In addition, they can save much money to do other things. However, they lose the chance of enjoying the beauty of nature and touching the outside world personally.However, others are in favor of going out for fun. They figure out that going out, especially for travailing, provides great opportunities for them to try something fresh and interesting. They can enrich their knowledge and broaden their horizons. There are various choices to make. They can go to a park with friends. They can cycle around the city or suburb. What's more, mountain climbing is very challenging and popular. Boating and fishing can present fantastic scenery along a river or a lake. A picnic will naturally bring refreshing experience.In this case, they can understand the differences between regions and countries by travailing in person. Besides, through travailing different places, they gather different experience, which is a source of their imagination. However, they have to spend much money and feel tired sometimes.As for me, I prefer to stay at home during my spare time since I can control my time flexibly. However, I advocate that students should go out to get in touch with the outside world and meet some difficulties so that they can value the time of staying at home.
【题目解析】：本题未规定明确题目。根据作文要求，其体裁应该是说明文。考察考生对于英语说明文特点的掌握。说明文是以说明为主要表达方式的一种写作文体，通常说明文按照一定的顺序排列，如时间顺序、空间顺序、主次顺序、逻辑顺序来介绍解说事物或事理。与英语记叙文和英语描述文相比，英语说明文的语言特征并不那么明显。但尽管如此，也还是有一些语言现象在英语说明文中经常出现。在英语中，采用被动语态，引进权威的信息来源以及选用委婉的词语是使说明文避免主观色彩，增加客观性，从而为读者接受的重要语言手段。
