There are lots of different kinds of entertainment and every person can choose mostsuitable and entertaining for him. Entertainment is passive as watching TV, video orplaying computer games and active such as travelling, sports and hobbies. Anyway,always choosing only one kind of entertainment can’t be the best way to spend yourfree time but I prefer active entertainment to passive.
Firstly, active leasure such as hobbies, let improve yourself in some kind ofactivity you really enjoy and you’re good at it, while spending free time in front ofTV screen is the most primitive way of entertainment. What is more, almost all TVprograms are repeated again and again. I mean films shown on TV during celebritiesand other special days. Of course, some of them are really enjoyable andentertaining, but I don’t think that watching the same film for some times can bewery relaxing and joyfull.
Secondly, passive forms of entertainment can be harmful to your health. Especiallyfor children who are just crazy of playing computer games or watching cartoons shownon TV. They prefer playing computer games or watching cartoons more than going to thefresh air, even though exercising outside helps to feel happy and alert, frees fromtention and stress, helps to loose weight and biutd muscles. Furthermore, whilewatching TV they usually choose eating junk food as popcorns, chips, sandwitches andother. So it’s not so strange that more and more children have to wear glasses, gotstomach diseases or overweight.
On the other hand, active leasure also has some disadvantages. Firstly, whileexercising you can hurt yourself like break arms or legs and spend much time inhospital. Moreover, traveling and exercising is rather expencive even when you haveto buy sport equipment or pay member-(mokestis) while joining the gym.
All in all I’d like to say that people will always find the best way to spend theirfree time and enjoy themselves and not pay any attention to its disadvantages.
