people to amuse themselves in their leisure time. Entertainment is generally

games or sports, are more often considered to be recreation.[1] Activities such
as personal reading or practicing a musical instruments are considered as
hobbies.
The industry that provides entertainment is called the entertainment industry.
There are many forms of entertainment for example: cinema, theatre, sports,
