An essay: How people could spend their leisure time more profitably As the pace of modern life has increased dramatically recently, so it is highly important to use leisure time in the most profitable way. It is important to recognise that leisure time can have its health and social benefits. However, leisure time can make us unfit, if we don't spend it wisely. For a while watching TV and playing computer games may be enjoyable but they are not profitable in a long term. The biggest drawback of these activities is that people spend hours without moving. In my view, the best use of leisure time is to do physical activities, such as playing sports games, doing workouts and sports in the gym, walking in the park and taking part in sports competitions. The greatest advantages of physical activities are health benefits. Moreover, these activities make us feel more energetic and happy, which helps reduce stress and gives us energy to work and help others. Another way of using one's spare time is helping others, such as helping elderly people, volunteering in the projects protecting animals and environment and helping in the community. It cannot be denied that helping others is very important and has its social benefits. All things considered, it is important and beneficial to spend one's leisure time more profitably. To conclude, whilst helping others has its own benefits, it is far more important and satisfying to have daily physical activities.
