Write about the following topic: Some people think that it's a good idea to socialise with work colleagues during evenings and weekends. Other people think it's important to keep working life completely separate from social life. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

It is argued that spending leisure

time

with

colleagues

is enjoyable,

while

others disagree and believe that the

time

after

work

should totally belong to personal activities without any links to

work

. Both sides of the view will be discussed in the following essay

along with

the reason why I believe it can be beneficial to hang out with

colleagues

using spare

time

. On the one hand, it is reasonable that

people

may want to separate their personal life from working conditions, as they can enjoy themselves as much as possible without any pressure. That means they can have enough

time

to spend with their loved

friends

or family members, which is

because they can behave in their favourite manner without worrying about the negative expression they may make or potential obstacles they may cause because of their improper words.

For example

, many individuals enjoy to lay on the sofa with their feet put on the table, and they can keep

, but it can be offensive if they use the post to talk with their leader, even if

Sunday night.

Therefore

, it is quite reasonable that

people

may choose to socialise with their close ones after

work

without inviting their

work

friends

.

On the other hand

, many individuals enjoy spending spare

time

with

colleagues

for many reasons. The major one is that in

this

way, they can foster their connections with their

work

partners and benefit their

work

performance in the long term.

That is

because without intensive pressure and heavy tasks in workplaces,

people

can express themselves better and show their actual personalities during leisure

time

, leading to a deeper understanding between

colleagues

, thereby, they can cooperate with each other in an endeavour after they return to

work

, and try to forgive them if others make some mistakes or ignore some detailed tasks, which can develop a greater sense of belonging to the whole team.

In addition

For instance

, which is highly commented on by workers, as they treat it as a special approach to establishing their collaboration relationships with their

colleagues

. In conclusion,

although

both sides have their merits, I firmly believe that

people

should at least spend two hours a month hanging out with their

work

friends

during their leisure

time

, and I have tried

this

before in my

company, which benefit me and my
