▶ Your Answer : What activities people want to spend their time? Probably personal
enjoyment or tasks. Some people claim that people today do not spend too much
time on personal enjoyment because the achievement for studying has been
increasing. On the other hand, many people actually spend too much time on
personal enjoyment because the internet has been developing, and people today
have more time. A novel "Wonder" by R. J. Palacio and my own
experience support this assumption.
To begin with, the story of "Wonder" shows that people spend
much time on personal enjoyment due to the development of the internet. The
story starts with Auggie, who wrote his own story. In 1990, he was an
university student. Auggie used to enjoying reading, and he liked to play
soccer with his friends. After 20 years, he explained that he spent a lot of
time on using cell phone. Auggie did not use the internet at past, but Auggie
started to use the internet through the computer and the smart phone. Auggie
worried his life style because he spent a lot of time with the phone. He only
concentrated on playing computer games and searching the internet on the phone.
When Auggie realized this, he stopped using the phone. Then, Auggie was able to
return his life. However, Auggie said that when he started to use the cell
phone again, he could not stop using the internet. Therefore, the story proves
that people spend too much time on the internet for personal enjoyment.
As the story of "Wonder" showed that people spend much time on
their enjoyment because of the internet, my own experience shows that people
have much time for personal enjoyment. My mother and I usually have trips twice
a month. When I travel with my mother, we easily book hotels and restaurants on
the phone. My mother said: "I feel really happy because I have a lot of
time for travel with my daughter. When I was young, my family and I only
concentrated on how to live, so we only worked hard." In addition, I was
able to work or move to other areas easily because of the technologies. Thus,
this experience proves that people have a lot of free time for doing what they
want.
In the
result, the story of "Wonder" and my own experience showed that
people do many personal enjoyment because the internet has been developed, and
people have more time than those at past. In the story, Auggie worried about
spending a lot of time on using the internet. Moreover, according to my
experience, people today have much time for personal enjoyment thanks to the development
of the technologies. Hence, people in nowadays tend to spend much time on
personal enjoyment. |
