In my opinion, the best leisure activity for teenagers is playing sports. Firstly, teenagers' physical health is able to improve quickly if they play sports frequently. Secondly, playing sports brings a chance for teenagers to make new friends and enlarge their relationship. Finally, it is always a good choice for people to relax after their hard-working time as well. For these reasons, I think playing sports is the most enjoyable and rewarding activity for teenagers in their free time.
