Lect.Elif Meltem BİRSÖZ ÖZKÖSE
First passage,in my opinion people do not have enough leisure time because people always are working a lot because people have a responsibility to against their families.Therefore people are working a lot but they need more leisure time so each institution allow to employees for go on vacation.In the past,people have more leisure time than now because people worked in their farm.Therefore they wanted to go an hour because he/she is boss but now people are moving from farm work to factory work so their leisure time decreased.Second passage,I think a lot of activities in the world.People also interested to do something for example;their hobbies.Some people believe that,when they do more leisure activities,their working motivates increase and I agree with them.People prefer sports,playing games and internet etc..Many mans interested in sports like me.For example,when I watch the match,I will be happy because I like football and then I want to work a lot.Third passage,people usually prefer to spend time their vacation because people want to go on vacation when they get bored working a lot.Therefore people choose to spend their vacation but some people can not leave to work because they become a habit so they are not comfortable during the their vacation.However,the reason for people are choosing on vacation is about many activities because it has a lot of activities.
YanıtlaSilI like this topic because leisure is of high importance for people.Since the beginning of time,people have always wanted to have leisure because all people want to do some activities such as playing football,playing game etc.If people had leisure time,people would be happy.I think,nowadays,people have enough leisure time because the system of technology has been developed by people and people have used technology.Therefore,people have enough time for taking a holiday.In past,technology was not adequate.This is the reason why people had always worked their jobs.Now,many people worked for 16 hours per day although people have al lot time for leisure time.For some people,the most important thing about leisure time is to spent it with other people.I think,in my country,there are a lot of good locations for having a holiday.The top three of good locations are Bodrum,Antalya and Marmaris.People want to spend in these locations.A lot of people spend time for different ways.For instance,some people want to play soccer,game etc.On the other hand,other people want to take a holiday.People all over the world play online games such as Final Fantasy and World of Warcraft.As far as i remember when i was a child i spend a lot of time for playin these games.Most people have choosen close location for spending time because the people cannot have enough time for spending time.This is the reason why the people go to the close location.Nowadays,people have used internet.Therefore,they can overcome a lot of works.In the light of the things that have been mentioned above,this topic is crucial issue for people.People have to do some activities.Also,people should avoid working a lot.

YanıtlaSilNo more I understand better than first time.I believe I improved my reading skill.I understood easly these subjects.We intermited now.Therefore this topic tell us.Passage one,people worked very hard in the past.They did not have free time.Some lands have the weather and seasons work.For example;Europe and North America people worked most of the work during the late spring ,summer,and early fall.They rested during the winter,but this state changed the late eighteenth century and early nineteenth century.People avoided their farms.They preferred to work in factories.Their work was very hard in factories.They worked 16 hours a day.In the nineteenth century new mechanies were come by factory managments.They become faster and more efficient than before.Instead of people,mechanies nearly worked.Therefore , they have more time and oppurtunity for leisure activities.They spend time and money.The world was changing rapidly.Trains ,streetcars , new public parks and gardens built.People have more opputunities.Passage two;people have more time than before.They work during all day.Especially their mind .They watch tv ,read,swim.Some people have hobbies;paint, music or wood.Games change by countries.For example;Chine enjoy mahjong.In my country people play backgammon.They play with hands.Therefore, they are happy because they are tried to use their mind.Passage three;ın twentieth century most people worked so much,but now they have more time.They want different activities.Most people prefer staying home or vacation.All of world have different vacation oppurtunitis.Some people sit in the vocation during all day.They want activities vacation.Some extreme vacation activities are more than risky.Either they like to do dangerous things or they can enjoy the natural beauty of the places.Some people like watching birds or other wild animals on green vacations.People do not anymore work so much.They ought to get permission early.
Firstly,I think people do not have enough time except their jobs.Because working and looking after their home and family is means that everything for them,but they need to have more leisure time and should enjoy more themselves.In the past,leisure habits has changed especially centuries show discrepancy according to centuries.In the nineteenth century,people interested in machines.So it provided being faster of jobs.Thus the had more leisure time also it earned to more money.Workers had more time for social opportunities and leisure activities.In these years,employee worked less time and nowadays this time continue to shorter.People spend leisure time with listen music,read,different activities especially with invention of television habit of people changed.In the early of nineteenth century,people spend their times with sport games.Such as,soccer,basketball,tenis and other sports,but these effected some regions.Because these are very traditional.For example,In japan,there is a called cosplay games and everybody has an avatar.İt means that is second life.Now we spend our times with technology and people paly games from internet all over the world.Also people use the internet for communication and they are so popular worldwide.Also people can spend our leisure times with vacations.Generally some people like tos tay home and spend time with their families.Some people prefer go swimming,go camping or extreme sports.On long holidays,people visit the foreign countries such as,Egypt,France,United States and other famous places.Besides there are other vacations choices many people like extreme vacation like skiing,climbing a mountain ,but only these are not.Some people help poor people,animals or studying for the environment.Apart from that some people keep working on their vacations and they go to the job holiday,but they follow their job about something event with e-mail,internet and mobile phones,In conclusion,I can say that leisure time is very crucial for people’s mental or physical health.So we should study less time and with our families spend more time.
