Leisure time. Is the good use of leisure time the key to man´s future?.

  • What is the leisure time and how much do you have?.
  • How do you spend your leisure time?.
  • What changes will there be in leisure activities in the future?.

Not only is to work in the life and the leisure time is very necessary for to be happier. Each one spends his leisure time in different ways depending of what each one likes to do more. But, in regard to the question as to whether the good use of leisure time is the key to man´s future I have to say that I totally agree with this statement because from my point of view I think that we can take advantage the leisure time doing something that we like to do while this activity gives us a benefit. I cannot understand the people for instance that stay almost all day sitting on the sofa watching TV or they are in the bar drinking alcohol and as well as they are damaging their body and it is a waste of money and time.

For me the meaning of leisure time is, the time which we have when we have finished our obligations such as to work in our job, to do the housework or simply to take the dogs for a walk. In my case, I arrive to my home once I leave of my work around five o´clock on week days and I often have the weekends free if I am not on duty. I am conscious that I have much leisure time compared with other people and for me it is not sufficient time because I do a lot of activities which I am going to relate in the following paragraph.

Nowadays I spend my leisure time especially studying English and making essays like this to wait the reply of my friend Kitos and hoping that he says me that the essay is quite good. As well as I like running very much and I run around fifteen kilometers six days at week and I go to the gym three or four days at week, where I do swimming, exercises with the machines, etc. Also I have a daughter, she is fourteen years old, almost fifteen, and I help her with her studies when we are in home.

Finally, in regard to the last question I think that in the future, the people spend most of their leisure time in Internet or playing with video games and they will not be much time with the family or reading a good book.

To sum up, each one spend the leisure time doing they want to do, but there are a lot of activities which we can do and furthermore they will get benefits. The time is like gold and we should not to waste it.

Lighgun, you continue to write very long sentences, which isn’t a bad thing, but, …
you need to insert commas where necessary. You will lose points by not doing so, and you will sound crazy when you speak your essay out loud.
Please concentrate on this important point.

The essay is QUIET GOOD! :-)) 7.5/10

Kitos. Goodnight.

leisure time :
i said in another subject that the life is project and group of activities , and one of the main important activity is the leisure time , its the idle time , but you must use this time carefully , i think that our god create us of two main components , the first one is the body which is the container of the second coponent which is the spirit. and each one need feed , for the body you need to eat and go to gym and to take care about your health;but for spirit you should go and pray to god,sit with your family and alot of things , to feed the spirit , and this is must done in the leisure time , but also your others activities of life like sit with your family and your friends , outgiong out doors its belong to these one for body feed and spirit feed.
finally you must schedule you free time .another view is time is mony so use it in productive manner.
keep your self away of bad things and harm things then go ahead

Leisure time. Is the good use of leisure time the key to man´s future?.

  • What is the leisure time and how much do you have?.
  • How do you spend your leisure time?.
  • What changes will there be in leisure activities in the future?.

The definition of leisure time may be percieved differently by everyone, depending on their tastes and interests. Some may like to spend their free time with their family, while others would prefer calming and relaxing, without the botheration of anyone. It is impossible to measure the influence of the activities done in leisure time, that could lead to a successful future. However, many activities have different impact on a person’s life, in many different ways. For instance, i personally like to browse through the internet, whenever i have time and i keep in touch with my friends over the net. I also study English and try to improve my writing skills. This, i believe will benefit me in the future, as english is a becoming a global medium to communicate with each other.

Furthermore, Leisure time that is spent in sleeping or taking long baths, will obviously not change a person’s life in any way. This may only contribute in the personal satisfaction. But, as far as betterment of the future is concerned, i think it is irrrational to claim that leisure activities of any kind will be significant for the future. Until unless, the person prefer something meaningful such as learning a new language, writing essays, etc.

In summary, this is an era or technological revolution, hence many leisure activities in recent times have canged, due to it. Several years ago childrens were playing in playgrounds, but this has changed now they are spending much of their free time on the computers. People liked to eat out before, now they enjoy the luxury of takeaway and order food at home. These days, the activities of leisure times are far apart than the activities in the past. Likewise , more new and exciting things to do will be introduced in the future.

I absolutely agree with Justmoha, that we have to care about all ourselves.
Although… No. It’s necessary, however we have to care more about others than about ourselves.
This is the best leisure time when you can help to someone, maybe only to be with friends or close people who need you. In this case… I feel that I have done sth well and I can feel happy.

What about future… I have no idea about it. I can just HOPE that the next generation won’t start to live almost virtual. It would be a tragedy.

Good afternoon Teysun. You are absolutely correct in saying one can find deep satisfaction in helping others.

When I haul my weary body off to bed each night I lie and recap the essays that I have edited, and the comments that I have left for the writers.

I feel as happy or sad as the recipients of my comments feel. I sleep very well having given a glowing estimate of a potentially good essay writers efforts, and I feel proportionally sad when I have had to be critical of someone’s failed efforts.

I have to be constantly aware of every pupils shortcomings and strengths, and to couch my comments accordingly. Not an easy task, but I attempt to do it diplomatically.

Kitos.

oh, I see that your job is hard enough… But I really respect you for YOUR efforts. I see a lot of teachers around me, who it seems have no idea what does it mean to be a teacher. They… don’t love their job, that’s really sad.
Anyway, you are a wonderful professor!

I wish you more good students who try to do their best.
Good luck!

Teysun.

Hi Prep, it would depend on what had been said earlier in the sentence

If use had been made of their , our, we, then generally our lives would be the fitting word to use, but again, I’d have to see the whole text.

Kitos.
