How to balance job responsibilities and personal interests
「personal interests」指「个人兴趣」还是「个人利益」？我觉得出题人没必要在这种词上面作妖，两种解释都有道理，而根据两外两个题：extracurriculer和leisure，此处应该是爱好的意思。
Along with the development of society， more and more problems are brought to our attention； one of the most serious problems is how to reach the balance between job responsibilities and personal interests. People have different attitudes towards the problem.It is generally agreed that job responsibilities has been playing an increasingly important role in our life， because we need to complete them to earn money for life. But if people put too much time on work， their mental conditions will be damaged and suffer from kinds of diseases. The sub health of workers has attracted extensive attention of the society， which can be found in TV programs， newspapers， university classes and many aspect of our everyday life. Thus， in addition to work responsibility， people should develop personal interests using spare time. Then， they could enjoy the life and get rest both physically and mentally. However， if people invest too much time on personal interests， their career developments may be affected and lost opportunities for a better life.
From what has been discussed above， we may safely draw the conclusions that people should focus on work responsibility during work time and develop personal interests on spare time.
