Some people believe that children’s leisure activities must be educational, otherwise they are a complete waste of time. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your aswer and include any relevant examples from your experience.

Besides

general education, minors often develop their own

habits

related to some specific kinds of sports, arts and entertainment. It is argued that these

leisure

activities

are useless unless they render kids educational benefits. I totally disagree that

leisure

activities

only stand for educational purposes. Analysing how

leisure

activities

help with creativity, as well as the importance of relaxing will prove my opinion.

Firstly

, entertaining

activities

possess the means to encourage children and adolescents to explore and create something.

For instance

, I used to be a faithful reader of detective novels when I was in junior school, having acquired lots of fun from these novels, I started to create my own story when I went to senior school, where my work was quite popular among my classmates,

then

I became a writer and an editor for my university magazine, I just continue writing since senior school and now writing has become my part-time job. Had it not been for indulging in detective novels, I would never develop the idea of creating my own fiction.

Therefore

, my personal experience makes it clear that

habits

that are irrelevant to study can be the best motivation for people to start creating.

Secondly

, relaxing is necessary for effective learning, as

leisure

activities

of a proper amount could assist the students to perform better.

For example

, having suffered from procrastination, I once tried to cram one week before,

although

I pushed myself as hard as I could , I failed to memorize everything at once because my brain was too tired to function properly,

as a

result

Add the comma(s)

,result

show examples

I did not get a good grade at that exam, from which I learned the lesson that our brains need to rest for better performance,

that is

another reason why entertainment is so important for education. In conclusion,

habits

for relaxing give children and juveniles the best motivation for creation and innovation, as well as pertain to better achievements in educational area.

Therefore

,

leisure

activities

without educational purposes should exist and be welcomed. After a thorough analysis of

this

statement, encouraging students to develop their own

habits

for entertainment and distribute their time properly is both reasonable and intelligent.
