On the other hand

people

 who think is better to take the opportunity to relax and let their

 take a rest.
This

 essay will attempt to explain both views,
although
Linking Words
 I support the idea of being productive and keeping your
mind

 active. There are many
people

 who spend a lot of
time
Use synonyms
 in the week working very hard, even struggling with stress. These
people

 usually prefer to relax when arriving at the weekend and try to disconnect after all the chaos of the week. It is quite normal to desire some

 off, but
then

 your life is going to be just working and having
time
Use synonyms
 to rest, and you are not going to take advantage of your free

Use synonyms
 to improve yourself, do new things or even learn something you always wanted to know.
However

 do it.
Although
