What’s the meaning of the underlined word
My favorite leisure activity is watching movies. That means I usually watch a movie when I am free. Although leisure activities can make us relax and healthy, we should not do too many leisure activities to avoid causing some harm. Just like watching a movie, if you watch it too long, your eyesight will get worse. So when you are enjoying leisure activities that you like, you must do them properly and timely.

As we know, leisure activities play an important part in our lives. Logan Pearsall Smith (1865-1946) said, “If you are losing your leisure, look out; you may be losing your soul.” Why do we need kinds of leisure activities I think that’s because everyone needs to be relaxed and pleased when not working, and then they can keep healthy.
