115. Planning or not planning for your leisure time?

Some people prefer to plan activities for their free time very carefully. Others choose not to make any

plans at all for their free time. Compare the benefits of planning free-time activities with the benefits of

not making plans. Which do you prefer — planning or not planning for your leisure time? Use specific

reasons and examples to explain your choice.

『分析』

倾向于选择“有计划”。因为不管做什么事情，多少都会有一些计划。至少知道从什么时候开始，到什么时

候结束。罗列几个实现计划的好处。据几个实例。

使用让步结构结尾：尽管确实有一些过程完全不需要计划，而计划也做不到面面俱到(cover all aspects; have

every detail thought of -- think of every detail)，但是适当的计划仍然是必要的。

『范文』

Some people find it to be a better use of their free time if they plan out all of their activities very carefully.

Others enjoy their free time more if they do not make any plans at all. I agree with those in the latter group, and

would prefer to not be restricted to a schedule.

Above most things, I enjoy living my life spontaneously. If I decide that I want to go away for the weekend,

assuming I have money and can take time off work, I will go. I am able to live my life in this manner because I

never bind myself to carefully planned schedules. I make the most out of every situation I come across and always

enjoy myself. Because of this, there is no need for a schedule. It is much more fun to just wait and see what will

happen next, after all, it's a free time.

I always enjoy the freedom of an unplanned afternoon. If I need to get errands done, I will find time for them.

If I have free time, I want to enjoy it. I do not want to be trying to finish things quickly just because there is

somewhere else that might be interesting on my list of things to do. If I am at a park and am really enjoying myself,

there is no reason why I should leave, even if there is something else to do on my list that sounds interesting. I

believe in living in the moment. What I am doing at the present moment is more important than anything I might do

in the future.

If, on a rare occasion, I do make a schedule, I find that it quickly runs off track. Perhaps I am just particularly

bad at keeping to a schedule, but I find that some things take longer to do than I expected they would, and other

things are finished in much shorter a time than expected. This quickly makes even the best schedule go awry.
