Band 6

Many people work long hours, leaving very little time for leisure activities. This has more advantages or disadvantages.

#people #work #hours #time #leisure #activities
Nowadays it is becoming extremely competitive to find and hold a job. People have to
work
 long
hours
 of
work
 in order to be able to pay for their expenses.
Therefore
, no
time
 is left for one to enjoy their
life
 and doing fun activities. In my ,opinion
this
 has more drawbacks than benefits as it can negatively impact our mental health and the natural
purpose
 of our
life
.
First
 of all, not having a
work
 and
life
 balance is the number reason for depression.
In other words
, if we keep on working without having
time
 to do what we love to do, after a while we get exhausted and depressed. According to some researches, the risk of suicide among people who are working more than 250
hours
 a month is 20 per cent more than
work
 the average of 160
hours
 and that has nothing to do with the amount of money they make.
Thus
, in order to have a normal
life
 with normal mental health, we need to have some
time
 off
work
. It is sometimes hard to sometimes follow the
purpose
 of
life
 when we are too engaged in our
work
 and have no
time
 to do what we really love to do outside
work
. by ,that I mean literally thinking for a
second
 why we are working and what is the
purpose
 of
life
. Do we have to
work
 for money or money has to
work
 for us
.

 If we do not have enough
time
 to spend on some activities that make us happy because we are busy
then
 when we want to really enjoy our
life
.
Therefore
, by looking at the
purpose
 of our
life
 we will realise that
life
 is not only about
hours
 we spend at
work
 and it's mostly about to do we have
time
 to enjoy ourselves. To conclude,
life
 is too short and we need to find a good balance between our
work
 and our joy in
life
. If we
work
 long
hours
 and have no
time
 for leisure activities, we will get depressed and lose the
purpose
 of our being on
this
 planet.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
