Some people think that young people should spend more of their free time at home with their families and spend less time entertaining outside. Others disagree. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

In contemporary society, 1how young people should spendhow should young people spend their spare time is an issue that few can afford to ignore. Opinions are divided between those who believe that young 2peoplemen should spend more time staying at home with their families and those who maintain that entertaining outside is more necessary. While there is some merit in each perspective, I find the latter more compelling.

To begin with, this position is grounded in both sound reasoning and practical considerations. One of the strongest arguments in its favour is that being 4close to natureclosed to the nature is beneficial for young people to 5relieve their stressrelease their pressures and negative emotions, which cannot be replaced by staying at home with their families. This reasoning carries considerable weight because young adults have to face many challenges and difficulties in today’s competitive society and 6alleviating feelings of depressionrefreshing their depressive emotions is extremely important, thereby strengthening the case for this position. A growing body of research lends support to the conclusion that among some 20-30 aged people with psychological issues in Beijing, 7the number of those who dothe number of who do outdoor activities regularly was 30% less than 8that of those who staythe number of who stay at home. A further consideration that warrants closer examination is that entertaining outside can also improve young people’s social skills and 9buildstructure their self-confidence, 10which enhanceswhich is enhance young people’s patience and pressure rejecting ability.

Compelling though this position may be, the opposing view also has its merits. One potential objection is that staying at home with their families can save more money, energy and time for young 11peoplemen and help them to have more family moments. 12Many outdoor activities are not suitable for older people and young kids, a concern that arises from the fact that going outside for 13entertainmententertainments sometimes makes young people feel more tired. On closer examination, however, a fundamental flaw in the logic of this argument becomes apparent: young people staying at home with their families before 14relieving their stressreleasing their pressures may have new conflicts with their relatives. More importantly, many young adults demonstrate that they usually have a fight with their families when they go back home after work, and home makes them feel more stressed. This problem becomes particularly evident when we consider that many outdoor activities can be done with families and are appropriate to 15alleach family members, like having a party on the grass on a sunny day, and going camping 16in nearby areasin vicinity places with good landscapes. In light of this limitation, the opposing view, while understandable, does not carry enough weight to be decisive.

In conclusion, although this issue remains a matter of debate, the position that doing outdoor activities is necessary for young people, 18while enjoying outdoor activities with familyand enjoying outside family moments stands out as the more balanced and practical one.
