  • Essay Writing – Binge Watching.

    Posted by Victor Augusto on October 23, 2020 at 4:56 pm

    What would happen to you if in all of your Sundays you only watched TV? Some people would jump into conclusions stating that it is useless, but they are forgetting that a free time to refresh their heads and being in a passive state is a great strategy to keep doing a good work in their useful days. Binge-watching is totally fine, if you don’t overdo it.

    Undoubtedly a free time is strategically good for your productivity. According to MyImagination studies, it has been shown that having a day off through the week improves productivity drastically, the reason behind it is that your brain taking a break will absorve new information and focus more easily when you come back to work.

    On the other hand, if done in the wrong pace you can damage other parts of your life. The most heavy users of Netflix have been stuck in their lives for a long period of time. According to MyImagination research, those who spend more than 40h a week watching Netflix has been in the same job position and didn’t get a raise since they started with such an intense TV agenda.

    Entertainment has been always good in fulfil us with different emotions, having a day just for experiencing those is a good way to shape a balance in our lives. If we manage to not fall into the trap of letting it control our lives we can have a really enjoyable and healthy life.

    Very well written @victorpereira – structures and vocabulary solid 👍

    I would have preferred to send you a photo with corrcetions, but I left my apple pen in Florence by mistake, so you can see my feedback in bold.

    > Watch some of your prepositions (have a look below). Make a note of them

    > time, in this context is uncountable, so we don’t need the article ‘a’

    > using commas more frequently will help your writing flow better

    Give me a shout if you have any questions
