Exercise 1: Report

How Teenangers spend their free time?

Technology has changed the life of everyone in Argentina, specifically the new generations.
It generated many changes in the daily routine but also in the free time. In this report I'm
going to tell you how young people spend their free time and how it changed over the past
20 years.

20 years ago young people used to play with toys, table games, usually with their family or
friends. Nowadays, due to technology and the internet, children are playing a lot more with
Ipads, smart phones, computers and electronic devices.

As you can see, games that children played in the past involved being with another person
and socialice. Instead, playing with electronic devices usually means to play alone. It also
generates addiction, insomnia, increased stress, problems with self-confidence or anxiety
issues. This is an alarming situation because children prefer to stay inside their house rather
than going outside and playing with friends.

In my opinion young people need to change some habits so the situation doesn’t worsen in
the future. They need to control the time using technology and try to reduce it as much as
possible.

To conclude, I think technology and new innovations have helped us with lots of things in our
daily routine but we need to balance the time we are spending on using it and try to be more
connected to the present, real life and the people around you.
