Undoubtedly, leisure time plays a significant role in people’s daily lives in many of the places where they work or play. Some people think that playing video games is a waste of time, while others do not. Both sides may have their own reasons to support their views. If I were asked to choose one, I would say that spending time playing video games is not a time consuming behavior. There are several reasons as follows.
To begin with, playing video games can enable people to improve their academic performance by giving leisure time to relax. When people enjoy video games, it will help them relax and recharge their batteries. When people are fully recharged, they are likely to have more energy to put into working and being active. For example, my older brother did poorly in elementary school. He got distracted easily, procrastinated, and even acted on impulse. My family could not understand why he was not able to get good grades because he spent a lot of time studying in his room. However, he has changed little by little after he started to play computer games for twenty minutes after he had spent two hours studying to prepare his second year’s mid-term exam. Surprisingly, his got straight A’s on the test. He realized that diversion could help him refocus on his study, while his perfectionism could rather negatively affect his academic performance. Naturally, he started to maintain a good behavior by raising his grades in middle school and high school. He showed characteristics of a longer attention span, a stronger passion in his tasks, and a better ability to delay gratification. This implies that diversion is the key to move forward in school. Without having leisure time by playing computer games, he would have fallen behind.
All things considered, I strongly believe that the advantages of playing video games far outweigh those of not having refresh time using video games. All in all, enjoying video games is not a waste of time, and it can positively affect people who have no time to relax instead. |
