partly disagree with the writer's view that today most people spendtheir free time doing things that do not contribute to their
  development and are essentially unproductive.In my opinion,manypeople today actually use the additional free time that technology hascreated for working more,rather than for interacting with net friendsor for other leisure activities.For instance,many people have formed
  the habit of checking company emails frequently even during theiroff-work hours; they are disturbed by cell phone calls concerningwork wherever they are even on weekends; they are obliged to bringtheir computers with them even when going on a vacation.They neverseem to have real freedom after work owing to the advancement of
  technology and the popularization of modern communications devices.However,although they live in such constant chaos,the truth is,thiskind of life allows them no chance to spend time wastefully,and it often contributes to their career development and makes them moreproductive.

1.Introductionto the survey (purpose, method, etc.):

1) Purpose: To find outwhat college students think of happiness and how they evaluate their own senseof happiness.
2) Method: By interviewing four of myclassmates with five questions.

2. Findingsand analysis:

1) Most of them definedhappiness as something related to one's state of mind.
2) Regarding the two things most difficult tolive without, most of them chose health, friendship, free time, or sport, butone chose good food and money.
3) All of them rated their level of happinessas three or four.
4) Their answers to the last two questionswere surprisingly the same. All of them said that they lacked money and thatthey felt less happy than they were five years ago, probably because of thepressure associated with study and career choice.

3.Conclusions from the survey:

1) Students have a properunderstanding of happiness.
2) They value health, friendship and free timemore than material things.
3) They are fairly satisfied with theircurrent situation.
4) They want to have more money.
5) They feel less happy nowadays.
