【正确答案】[范文]
In the modern world, work plays such an indispensable role in our life that we have no choice but to spend a large proportion of our time on it. However, personal interests are not meant to be ignored. Therefore, it is necessary for us to find ways to balance work and hobbies.
First of all, time management is key to work efficiency because it enables us to make the best use of our time. Therefore, no matter how busy we are with our work, taking time off to learn time management skills is always necessary and helpful. If we work efficiently, we are sure to have more time for personal interests. Another effective way to strike a balance between work and hobbies is to fend a job that matches our own ability. This is to ensure that we can finish the work required and meanwhile still have energy to develop personal interests.
As it is aptly put, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Therefore, it is essential that we find ways to balance what we do for a living and what we are enthusiastic about.
