The most common belief among parents
nowaday
is that Correct your spelling
nowadays
children
's leisure
activities
must be educational, otherwise
they are a complete waste of time. Opposed to that normally accepted point of view, I have to disagree. In my opinion, Add a comma
,otherwise
leisure
activities
should be enjoyable, rather than serious and dull.
First
of all, children
should have time for themselves but not for anyone else. It is a basic demand of a human being to be pleased with whatever they do as long as it is still acceptable on a level. For instance
, playing video games
. Many parents do not like their kids to interact with that “unreal world”. Yes, there are definitely some certain drawbacks of playing video games
like overplaying it or getting abuse
to it; but above that, let’s take a look at the bright side. Wrong verb form
abused
Beside
some violent, horror, obsessive and unhealthy Correct your spelling
Besides
games
, there are plenty more games
that contain educational materials in which children
can learn new knowledge in a more exciting but indirect way.
Secondly
, sometimes leisure
activities
are not only hobbies but they are the reflection of the children
’s own personalities. From my observation upon
the environment I live in, I have seen many Change preposition
of
children
with different favourite leisure
activities
. Some like football, some like drawing and some like cooking,... There is a huge variety and so is the difference; therefore
, it is mostly inaccurate to assume that all these activities
have the
educational purpose on them. But Correct article usage
an
this
is not about liking something, these activities
are more than that, they can define children
’s dreams. A game programmer would only want to become a programmer when they love games
, and so the footballers, artists, chefs and many more.
In conclusion, I think that fathers and mothers should not be too harsh on their children
by imposing their opinion about doing leisure
activities
; instead
, let them freely have their pick of what they want to do because none of those is a waste of time, whether they are educational or not.Submitted by thumai2905 on
