Leisure activities

24. What types of leisure activities are popular in your country?

As far as leisure activities are concerned most people love to play cricket. Although cricket is not the official game of Pakistan, it is very popular. Most parks are inundated with people who are eager to play cricket. Also, there are many people who love to go to parks. As a matter of fact, my country is known for having many parks.

25. Why it is important for people to have time for leisure activities?

A person should maintain a good work-life balance. Sometimes, working a lot could even reduce productivity. Thus, it is important to engage in leisure activities so that a person could find time to unwind.

26. Why are some activities more popular than others?

Some activities are more popular done others since people have more interest in them. For example, in Pakistan, most people hate to read books so you would rarely find people reading book or going to the libraries. I think it related to the general trend which is prevalent in the society.

27. Are the types of leisure activities that are popular today the same as those that were popular when your parents were young?

When my parents were younger, they told me that people loved to play volleyball and badminton. However, now the situation has changed drastically. People love to play cricket and football now.

28. What types of leisure activities may become more popular in the future?

I think in the future cycling would become an immensely popular activity. My city council has even decided to make bike lanes so that the bicyclists could be facilitated.
