What should young people do when they are free? When it comes to this issue, individuals' opinion
differs from person to person. Some insist that getting a part-time job or volunteering in a
community would be the best choice, whereas some believe that they should learn to play a musical
instrument.
However, from the ultimate analysis, I contend that learning to play a sport would be the most bene
ficial choice for the young ones.
First, only playing sports can give young people opportunities to improve their physical qualities.
For the reason that as students, they are always buried in all kinds of deadlines during semesters,
which means that there is no time for them to work out. Learning to play sports like swimming
or playing soccer in the evenings or in the days off at school, however, will bring benefit
to young people's health. They will be able to have stronger hearts and healthier lungs.
Besides, no one can deny the fact that the ones who have a
healthy body will be less likely to fall ill.
Second, there is no doubt that young people can have friends with familiar interests when they are
learning sports during their spare time. For the reason that we all know that getting in a club
is the most convenient way for students when learning a sport. In addition, it is in clubs that
students can meet the people who have the same interests as them. After practicing the sport,
exchanging ideas and even fighting for the same team with the members in club, young people will
surely make friends with them, which would be beneficial for students' lives.
Third, it is getting a part-time job in free time will bring shortcomings to the young ones.
Not only might the part-time job they take be exhausting for students, but also it makes them
have no time to release themselves after a whole-day's study. Furthermore, as for learning to play
a musical instrument, it can be too tricky for students sometimes, which will make students feel
even more tired. Thus, it is reasonable to consider that learning an instrument is likely to prevent
young people from getting adequate rest.
All in all, from what has been discussed above, we can safely draw the conclusion that it is better
for students to learn a sport at night or when having days off at school.
