　　Topic：

　　Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? 20years from now, people will have more leisure time than they do now.

　　Sample Writing:

　　Do you think that in 2034 working people will have three days off every week? I believe so and I have good reasons to support my opinion. In the coming 20 years, science and technology would have developed by huge leaps and bounds that governments and labor unions will pay more attention to people’s leisure time and the awareness for the relaxation of the general public is expected to rise.

　　The first point I want to mention is that as science and technology develops, the likelihood of inventing inexpensive and user-friendly automatons is large. With an automaton, people can leave daily chores like cleaning, washing, and cooking to it and use the large portion of the day watching TV, playing games, or engaging in outdoor activities. Now I spend nearly 2 hours a day preparing my family’s decent meals. I believe that 20 years later I can play with my grandchildren and let a small robot cook for us. Many people may contradict my statement by saying that the saved time should instead be used for study and work. While this may be the truth, it is their choice. We can choose to use the saved time to relax instead of allocating it to study and work.

　　Second, the role of the government in increasing the general publics’ free time should not be ignored. To maintain a prosperous and stable society, the government must prioritize their citizens’ welfare. Since having more days off is what everyone likes, the government will gradually increase people’s leisure time. Many people would argue that productivity may decrease if people have extra one day off. But this worry does not hold water, for only a relaxed mind can function well. 30 years ago, people in China had only 1 day off every week. Now we have two days off per week. So it is reasonable to predict that 20 years later, we will enjoy three days off without posing any harm to our productivity.

　　Last but not least, people increasingly feel that there is a strong correlation between relaxation and health. So they will take themselves away from work in the hope of living a care-free life often. I always hear people say that many individuals spend the first 30 years of their life working, resulting in a deteriorated physical health. As a result, they have to use money to treat their illnesses in the later decades of their lives, which is really costly. Now many people understand that if we spend more time relaxing our body and mind, we are expected to live a longer and happier life. So with the increase of awareness, it is justifiable to say that people have a great chance to live a relaxed life in 20 years time.

　　In conclusion, I see an optimistic future. Our children, our grandchildren, and even we will not suffer as much pressure as people do nowadays. This is because of the combined effects of science, the government, and the general public themselves.(508)
