Changes in Leisure Activities
As society develops, people’s leisure activities have changed greatly.
In the past, watching movies outdoors was a popular and exciting leisure activity for people of all ages. Most people considered such experiences unforgettable. Another important leisure activity was traveling. Because most people did not have a lot of money, they usually hung out near their homes. Many of them loved to go to the parks. They could have picnics or row boats there.
Now, people have more choices for leisure activities. Many people can afford to travel to many different places far away from their homes. On weekends, families can go on road trips in their own cars.

Changes in Leisure Activities in My Hometown
As society develops, leisure activities in my hometown have changed greatly.
