I think that the leisure activities in the past were different from the activities that people can do now, because of the technologies and the mentality of people nowadays.
In the past, my parents used to spend time with their family more than people do now. They liked, for example, going together for a walk or going on a picnic, especially at the weekend. They also used to spend more time in the street walking and talking because they had less money. But my grandparents did different leisure activities from my parents. They went fishing or hunting because this was a way of life.
Nowadays, I think that there are more activities to do than in the past and they are not the same as my parents and grandparents did. I surf the net researching information about a topic I’m interested in, I visit my favourite websites, watch video clips and I keep in touch with my friends using a social network site. I play computer games on my own or with my friends or family. I play the flute and the piano in a band that I created with my friends. We created it to enjoy our free time but we are not a serious band; we only want to be together.
I don’t think that these activities are fun for my parents or grandparents, because they don’t understand the new technologies, they are not used to them. But for me they are really fun because I learnt how to use them when I was a child, so it is easy for me to work them.
Today people enjoy life more than in the past because they have more money, so they can do a lot of things which are expensive, like going abroad, and people have another way of thinking.
In conclusion, we live better than in the past, we enjoy life and we have great variety of activities to do.
