Leisure time is simply a free time when we don’t have any specific things to do. But we still can do lots of things to make our time better. Some of us might watch TV or go out to hang out with friends in leisure time. But there are lots of productive things that we can do.

Leisure time doesn’t mean time to waste or spend without any good reason. When we take a break from our work or study then we get lots of leisure time to spend. But we need to be aware that we must do something in those times that help us in the future. I am a book lover personally and I read lots of books.

Leisure means free time with no particular activities. People usually spend their leisure doing recreational actives. But these actives vary from person to person, society to society and country to country. The village people spend their leisure by gossiping, swimming, fishing, etc. But city people spend their leisure reading books, visit places, play video games and many others. I usually spend my leisure through drawing and painting. I also go out for walks. Sometimes, I go swimming in the river. It keeps me fit. So leisure removes monotony in everyday life. It gives us the energy to handle our routine based work. Thus, we should enjoy our leisure.

City people spend their leisure shopping, reading books, watching television, using a computer, going parks and zoos. Whenever I get time, I read books. I enjoy reading very much. Detective stories and biography of great persons are my favorite topics. I also like visiting unseen and unknown places. But it is not possible without the parents’ company. My other favorite leisure activity is watching TV. Discovery and National Geography are my favorite channels. I also like cartoons.

One can spend one’s leisure in gardening, painting, photography, reading, rowing, stamp collecting etc. Today, man is not happy with what he has. He wants to earn more and more money. So he has no leisure. He lives in stress and strain. He suffers from many diseases such as sleeplessness, hypertension and nervous breakdown. Therefore, there is need to have leisure. Leisure has great significance in a man’s life. It is only the right pursuit during leisure which can give us real happiness.
