Band 6.5

Many young people spend their free time in shopping malls. This has negative effects both on their lives and the society. (To what extent do you agree or disagree?)

#people #time #malls #effects #lives #society
A lot of adolescents waste their free
time
 in shopping stores. And
this
 has negative effects on their lives and on the
people
 among them. I absolutely agree with
this
 statement, because during their free
time
 they should do more useful and exciting activities , like helping their
parents
 or meeting with friends and going walking. In my opinion,
parents
 are the most important and close
people
 in each person's life,
therefore
 every teenager has to help and look after their
parents
.
For instance
 , you can clean the whole house , when your
parents
 are at work and after ,that your mother and father will really appreciate you. In one book , which I read about 2 or 3 months ago , doctor Johnson said , that 15% of the children in the world don't have at least one parent , and 9% of teenagers don't have both of them. And because of
this
 every young person should respect their
parents
 and love them. When it comes to close friends , they
also
 have a big part in our lives , and
people
 should spend their
time
 on them too ,
however
 not only on social media but
also
 in life.
People
 are able to meet with their mates in different walking parks in their town. ,
Also
 they can meet each other in the library , and there they can do their homework together or learn new subjects , that they don't know before. In conclusion , I want to say that , it is an independent choice of each person , do they want to spend their
time
 shopping or not.
Nevertheless
 , I assume
people
 should do more helpful things and things , which motivate them.
