Few people devote time to hobbies nowadays. Say why you think this is the case and what effect this has on the individual and society in general.
Surveys have revealed that
people
spend less and less time engaged with their interests in their spare time. This
essay will discuss two possible reasons and the negative impacts on society
and individuals.
The modern lifestyle has increasingly distanced people
from the things they used to enjoy doing. Nowadays, work
has become more and more fast-paced and stressful. In many cases, employees need to work
overtime to complete their daily work
tasks. In addition
, the increased complexity of those tasks often exhausted the task-takers' physical and mental labor

On the other hand
, the invention of handheld devices has consumed substantial time and concentration from folks. Many researchers have pointed out that screen life is excessively replacing those conventional social lives, such
as meeting friends and participating in social activities. Therefore
, people
have lost interest in their old hobbies.
The phenomenon is considered harmful to both society
and individuals. Regarding individuals, the almost unbearable stress level at work
can put their mental and physical health a great risk. According to studies, stress is associated with countless health complications, such
as cardiovascular disease, depression, and diabetes. Apart from that, people
with intensive work
mass tend to maintain a sedentary lifestyle,(sedentariness,) which is a significant cause of obesity and postural imbalance. When it comes to society
, the dramatically increased incidence rate of medical conditions certainly requires a vast investment in healthcare systems. It is undoubtedly heavier the financial burden to the governments. Furthermore
, a large number of patients will lower the productivity of society
.
To conclude, the modern workstyle and new entertainment forms made people
too busy and stressed to enjoy their interests. However
, the downsides, such
as declined health, and expanded social spending, are remarkable and should draw the public's concern.Submitted by lucymo8532 on

The Greeting
Depending on the style and aim of the letter, you will need to adapt your greeting.
Always start an informal letter in the ways:
- Dear + name
- Hi / Hello + name
‘Dear...’ is more appropriate, so stick with this.
For a formal letter there are two options for the greeting:
- Use Dear Sir or Madam if you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to.
- Use Dear + surname if you do know their name, e.g. Dear Mr Smith or Dear Mrs Jones.
