Письменная часть. Раздел 4. Письменная речь. Задание 40
According to the table, the majority of the teenagers polled (47%) like to spend their free time hanging out with their friends. As far as the least popular occupation is concerned, it is reading the same book and discussing it – that pastime is mentioned by only 5% of the respondents.
It should also be noted that pastimes which require some mental or physical work tend to occupy lower positions in the rating. For instance, shopping online (16%) and cooking (12%) turn out to be less favoured than hanging out with friends (47%) and watching movies (20%).
When organised wisely, leisure time can benefit a person a lot.
ut it can have a destructive effect as well if a person spends it, for example, gaming for hours or taking harmful substances like alcohol. To prevent this problem from arising, governments should promote a healthy lifestyle and create more facilities for people who want to make the most of their free time.
To conclude, I think that the best way of spending free time is reading. It takes away our anxiety, enriches our knowledge and opens up unlimited career opportunities.
