Some people think that it is important to use leisure tomr for activities that improve mind,such as doing word pusompwzzles or reading.Other feel that it is important to rest the mind during leisure time. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

Controversy has emerged about whether human beings should use leisure time for activities that improve

brain

ability or for resting. People often claim that brains are already overloaded in the workplace and adequate

rest

is necessary. From my perspective,

however

, both

brain

training and recovery are vital for mental health. On the

one

hand, activities

such

as reading, card

games

and strategy

games

reinforce the

brain

circuit. Individuals gain information from reading and utilising

such

information and transfer it into intelligence. Puzzle

games

force brains to think in different aspects.

For instance

, Go players have to calculate every step to expand their territory, simultaneously, read rivals' moves and try to destroy their plans. These kinds of

brain

exercises make

one

's thoughts more logical and innovative.

On the other hand

, facing the high-pressure work environment, the public needs to relax. Research into psychology provides considerable evidence that adequate

rest

improves the stability of mental health.

For example

, psychotherapy

such

as hiking or travelling gradually become the norm. The only thing that patients need is to

rest

temporarily. In my opinion, intellect training is like bodybuilding -

one

needs enough practice and adequate time to recover. Both overuse and underuse can cause adverse impacts, high risk of mental illness and lack of idea respectively. By way of conclusion, activities like puzzle

games

improve people's logical and innovative ability and

rest

prevent our brains from information overload and mental illness. It is important to find the balance between training and

rest

for

one

's leisure time.
