It is no doubt true that optimal use of a spare time has a key impact on future life, so many concerned parents highly pay attention to their children’s leisure activities. While organised group activities can be useful, I believe that learning how to occupy ourselves is a necessary ability.
There appear to be several justifications in favor of organized group activities. To commence with, copious children may not be aware of how to spend their free time. If they are not mature enough to choose their appropriate pursuits, it would become the adults’ responsibility to assist them. More importantly, parents or teachers could be more experienced, in guiding them to organize preferable group activities and encourage their children or students to participate in such activities. Take for example sports team, dancing groups, or music clubs.
In spite of these considerations, it seems essential for the younger generations to learn how to spend their spare time on their own. This is due to the fact that free time could be a significant part of any individual, which may provide people with a golden opportunity to explore on their personal potentials and talents. Not only can this be valuable time in their daily life, but also they could focus on their distinctive characteristics and tastes. An introverted adolescent, for example, may enjoy reading books, whereas an extroverted teenager might choose to take part in extreme sports.
In conclusion, although many immature children need their adults’ interventions regarding their leisure time, I would argue the current generations should learn how to spend such valuable time based on their personalities and differences.
