[TOEFL 4—6月Dark_Tournament写作小组 y61_smile第七次作业
第七次作业题:Do you agree with the following statement: nowadays people spend too much time on personal enjoyment –things they like to do—rather than the things they should do.9 | U% q/ [4 }& x6
Do you have a clear schedule on your daily life? Do you sometimes feel that time flies especially when you are doing the things you like to do? Nowadays there is a voice that people spend too much time on personal enjoyment –things they like to do—rather than the things they should do. But as to me, maybe we can have a discussion. S" n, _" R. W" [7
To begin with, the fact that people all have to work to feed himself makes the statement a little unreliable. Though some people do seek for fun during their work time, they still have to finish their tasks. Companies only employ those who can contribute themselves to the work and create profits to the companies. Then the employees must devote most of their time to the work-the things they should do.
Also, as the saying goes, hobby is the greatest teacher. The direction we struggle maybe for whole life is to find what we really want. There are many people doing jobs just for survival, however, there are always someone who do what they love for living. According to those people, how can you say that they spend too much time on personal enjoyment? They may be stick to the career and even achieve more than normal human beings.
At last but not the least, I have doubt on the definition of “too much time”. How can you define it to a reasonable limitation like four to five hours per day? And how can you make sure that is just real enjoyment which cannot offer any help to the near future? The answer is so clear now.
To sum up, I cannot completely agree on the statement that people prefer more personal enjoyment. There could be a further research and we can talk about the issue at that time.
