 Some people prefer to spend their free time outdoors. Other people prefer to spend their leisure time indoors. Would you prefer to be outside or would you prefer to be inside for your leisure activities? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your choice.

People would show different preference to indoor activities and outdoor activities. Some may be interested in spending their leisure time indoors, while others may be fond of the latter. As far as I am concerned, I would always prefer to be outside for my leisure activities.
* preference = 선호 / indoor activity = 실내활동 / outdoor activity = 야외활동 / be interested in = ~에 관심이 있다, 흥미가 있다 / leisure time = 여가 / be fond of = 좋아하다 / as far as I am concerned = 나로서는, 개인적으로는

In the first place, outdoor activities can provide me a pure natural environment in which I will feel more relaxed and refreshing. For example, I can always feel regenerated only after one-hour jogging along a quiet street, with the fresh cool air and balmy wind around. Moreover, it is a real fun to travel and enjoy so many wonderful sightseeings in different places. During their vacation, most people would choose to travel to enjoy a period of leisure time so that they can refocus on their studies and businesses.
* In the first place = 우선 / pure = 순수한, 깨끗한 / natural environment = 자연환경 / refreshing = 신선한, 원기를 북돋우는, 상쾌하게 하는 / regenerate = (손상된 생물체의 일부분이) 재생되다; (지역, 시설등을)재건하다 / jogging = 조깅 / balmy wind = 훈풍 cf) balmy = 아늑한, 훈훈한 / sightseeing = 관광 / refocus = 초점을 다시 맞추다

In the second place, participating in varied outdoor activities can help us increase knowledge through our own experience and widen our horizon. As a famous Chinese saying goes: to become wiser, you need to not only read 10 thousand books but also travel 10 thousand miles. It is true when we go out we have the chance to meet different people and different things, which cannot happen if you stay indoors. We chat with people and exchange ideas, we visit many places and learn different cultures, all of which can let us know more about a true world.
* participate in = ~에 참가하다, 참여하다 / varied = 다양한, 다채로운 / widen = 넓히다, 넓어지다, 커지다 / horizon = 시야 / saying = 속담, 격언 / chat with = ~와 수다떨다, 이야기를 나누다

In conclusion, I personally prefer outdoor activities to indoor ones not only because I can enjoy the relaxation and refreshment in the nature but also through participating in varied out activities, I gain valuable opportunities to convert theoretical knowledge from books into a kind of real experience.
* personally = 개인적으로는 / relaxation = 휴식 / refreshment = 원기회복, 상쾌하게 함 / valuable = 귀중한, 소중한 / convert = 전환시키다, 개조하다 / theoretical knowledge = 이론적 지식
