17 a) Read the following article (a student writes on how to use our leisure time).

Nowadays, we have more and more leisure, but I don’t think we know what to do with it. It all depends, of course, on what we mean by a ‘good’ use of leisure time. In my view, it means using your time to do something creative, not ‘wasting’ your time.

A lot of young people today spend their free time watching sport on TV, reading about sport and talking about it. Another popular pastime is sitting in cafés chatting and drinking coffee. Finally, it is becoming very common for young people to sit in front of computer screens playing computer games.

All this is fine, but it is better to play sports yourself than to watch other people doing it. Yes, cafés are relaxing, but I think young people spend too much time just talking – or gossiping. Why don’t they do something more creative, like taking up painting or learning to play a musical instrument? As for computer games, I think they will eventually turn us all into robots!

So, I say: don’t just sit there, go out and do it!

b) Express your agreement/disagreement with the author, using the underlined words and conversational phrases.

Here are some more phrases to express your agreement/disagreement with somebody or something:

I’m fond of/keen on … I like it because… First of all… I would like to…

I think that… Besides… In my opinion…
