II. Let’s talk about leisure time
It goes without
saying that every person needs entertainment and en¬joyment, free time and rest
after hard work. All our activities can be di¬vided into physical, intellectual
and mental activities. Scientists prove that we can benefit from combining
activities of different kinds as much as from having a rest.
The author of an
article in one Polish newspaper has counted 1019 personal interests and ways to
spend one’s free time. The most popular hobbies are collecting view cards,
coins, stamps, badges and books. Hobbies differ like tastes. They are divided
into 4 large classes: doing things, making things, collecting things and
learning things. Doing things, for example, include a wide variety of
activities from gardening to travelling. Making things includes painting,
drawing, designing cos¬tumes, handicraft, composing music.
I studied hard
at school to achieve high results and get profound knowledge. I think that
would have been impossible without activities I do in my free time.
If you ask me
how I usually spend my leisure time, I can say that I play volleyball, play the
guitar, read for pleasure, listen to music or spend time with my best friend.
I think I’m a
sporty girl. It goes without saying that sport is very im¬portant for every
person. Playing volleyball helps me to keep my body in a good shape, makes me
more organized and self-disciplined. Every Thursday I have volleyball classes.
They help to create a healthy body for a healthy mind and give possibilities to
communicate with my team¬mates. : s
I’m keen on
reading. My parents taught me to read at a very early age. Books stir my
imagination, expand the boundaries of the world I live in. They teach me to
live, help to form moral values, entertain and give pleasure. I like adventure
stories in which brave and clever people
are shown, I’m
interested in reading detective stories which show crime, criminals and clever
detectives. I like psychological dramas which show how people behave in
different situations.
I’m fond of
listening to music. My favourite bands as ‘Three Days Grace’ and ‘Nightwish’.
Music helps me to remove from tiredness and find new strength. This year I have
started taking guitar classes. Every Tuesday and Thursday I go to my teacher
who helps me to learn the magic of the music world. I find these lessons
interesting and exciting. They get me energy and optimism. Although my fingers
keep aching, I feel proud when I learn new things. I hope I will be able to
play the gui¬tar well in some time.
In my free time
I try to read English books in the original. It in¬creases my vocabulary. I’m
fond of watching American films. It helps me to leam pronunciation and social
English better.
I like to spend
some of my free time with my best friend. We watch movies, listen to music or
go for a walk together.
To sum up I
would like to say that without leisure activities life be¬comes dull and
boring, and people become frustrated.
