IELTS ESSAY TOPIC-17

 Some people think that it is important to use leisure time for activities that improve the mind, such as reading and doing word puzzles. Other people feel that it is important to rest the mind during leisure time.

 Discuss both views and give your own opinion.


Different people have different ideas about spending leisure time. As some would like to solve puzzles or read for the sake of their mental development, others argue it should be spent resting your mind from all the hectic life. It is really hard to choose a side in this argument but if I have to pick a side I would go with the former one. 

Leisure time is hard to get these day, with the fierce competition all around there is hardly any time to spare. Solving puzzles or reading books to gain knowledge is a pretty good use of this leisure time. It will not only keep the mind running but also help to learn new things. This habit can also benefit the children as well, for instance, if adults involve their children with the puzzles it will help them with their logical building. Also, reading books help people gain perspective and help them set new goals in life. 

On the other hand, some like to spend this leisure time resting up their brains which seems equally valid as these are brainstorming times. To strengthen the case, the technologies are ever so developing in workplaces to keep up with that everyone has to spare time alongside completing their designated working hours. After all that if individuals want to shut off their brains for a while then they can not be blamed. As a matter of fact, a healthy individual needs 7 to 9 hours of sleep so not to deteriorate their aptitude skills.

 To sum up, I would state that spending leisure time to rest up is not a bad idea but spending it with brain exercises is a better one.
