B2 Essay You have been asked to write an opinion essay for the school magazine about the following topic: Most people fill their leisure time with meaningless activities. Do you agree? Write about 225-250 words. In today’s world many people in western countries spend their leisure time with meaningless activities. However, other people maintain that it’s a better idea do activities more effective in their free time. Needless to say, both points are respectable, but my intention is to analyse their pros and cons. On the one hand, leisure time is something personal and people are free to decide the way that we what to spend it. Moreover, isn’t it the point? after hours of work and responsibilities everybody want to relax and do their hobbies such as: play pokemon go, read comics, listen music, dance and so on and so forth. On the other hand, some people believe that leisure time is a good chance to improve their skills. If you want to get promoted or you are focused in your studies you can’t waste any time, especially nowadays because society is more competitive than ever. For example, high school student need to study hard to get a place at the medicine school. Another argument is that the definition of meaningless activity depends the way that you are. Maybe for you play online games is a waste of time, but for other people is a good way to meet new people, chat with foreigners, learnt a new language and practise speaking with them. To sum up, in my point of view the way that you want to spend your leisure time is personal and everyone should respect it, even if they don’t agree with that. I prefer to spend my leisure time having fun and going out rather than studying or training, nevertheless if a can kill two bird one stone it’s a win win situation.
