In some countries young people have little leisure time and are under a lot of pressure to work hard in their studies. What do you think are the causes of this? What solutions can you suggest? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Indeed studies are important for a student’s life; however, leisure time gives the opportunity to be stress-free and relaxed for a while. A lot of students are carrying the burden of studies and give extremely little time to leisure activities. There are few reasons for this situation. The major cause of the above case is, many parents expect too much from their offspring. There can be different reasons behind this, for instance, they desire their child should be on top in studies or to be competitive. For example, my one cousin sister lives in another country and she is 6 years younger than me, every time I call her she tends to be busy, she is always into her studies, her leisure activities are insufficient compared to mine six years ago. The one another cause is, in the present life, competition is too high so that students don’t want to be left behind; therefore, they focus on education more than leisure activities. According to me, Leisure time is important in day-to-day busy life because relaxation is necessary for a person’s body. Leisure activities are useful in many ways such as improvement in creativity. Leisure activity refreshes a person and gives more energy for work. That is the reason I believe students should give more time to leisure activities. Parents who are pressurizing their children need to understand that time out of studies is mandatory for their benefit only. In conclusion, I believe doing some leisure activities make a person more energetic; therefore, leisure activities are essential for better concentration on studies.
