2．Today，we are told，children don't spend enough time in the fresh air.Many of them are addicted to a screen either on a computer or a TV—they seem to be living in a virtual（虚拟的） world.They have lost touch with nature.
But now 400 organizations in the UK，from playgroups to the National Health Service，are encouraging children to have some"wild time".They want kids to exchange at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time playing outside.Activities such as building dens，climbing trees，searching for conkers and playing hide and seek are just some of the things kids can do.Even if they live in a city，they can go on adventures in the garden or the park.
Children often need a helping hand from mum and dad.They need to be shown what to do and where to go.Andy Simpson from National Health Service says，"We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids'development，independence and creativity，by giving wild time a go."
So despite the complicated world that young people grow up in now，it seems that going back to basics and experiencing"nature's playground"is what modern children need.David Bond from Project Wild Thing says，"We need to make more space for wild time in children's daily routine，freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted."
This might sound a bit old fashioned to you or maybe，like me，it's made you think about sticking on your boots，getting outdoors and reliving your childhood.There's no age limit on enjoying yourself！

A.Wild time for children

We hiked up to the street and wandered around Leichester Square，finally ending up at a nice little pub.We got cheese and salad filled with pork and apples.They were messy，but delicious.We decided to keep moving to avoid getting more sleepy.We noticed that the London Eye was right across the river—Thames，so we crossed the bridge and walked under this enormous Ferris wheel （大转轮）.It's much larger than it appears in pictures or on television.We had somehow lost our London guide book.
Back in our room，we were dangerously close to falling asleep，so we decided to get coffee outside our hotel.The coffee revived us，so we walked down to Hyde Park to enjoy the nice weather and watch the sun begin to set.At last we headed back to the hotel.We were worn out，but very happy to be in London.
