SpeakUp

Do you think people relax in healthier ways than they used to, or has screen time taken over?

B2Hobbies & free timeOpinion

A natural way to answer

I think it's a bit of both. Screens have certainly taken over a lot of our free time, and that worries me. On the other hand, more people are consciously trying to cut down on screens and reconnect with offline activities.

Key phrases to use

  • take over — to become the main or dominant thing, often pushing others out“Work has taken over my whole life lately.”
  • cut down on — to reduce the amount of something you do or use“I'm trying to cut down on coffee.”
  • reconnect with — to start enjoying or feeling close to something again after a gap“Gardening helped me reconnect with nature.”
