My free time.Usually I go to school five days a week. Saturday and Sunday are my days off. If I have more free time, I’m very happy. In my free time I like doing different things. For example I can go for a walk with my friends or watch TV at home. I like reading fantasy books in my spare time, too. It is my favourite passtime. Sometimes I like to be alone in my free time. It is necessary for me.
Some children like playing computer games in their free time. I think it is a waste of time.I usually prefer to spend my days off with my family. I’m very busy on my working days and I can’t see them often.Unfortunately I have too little free time. So I try to spend it rationally. I like going to the theater or cinema and visiting different exhibitions.
I also try to visit my grandmother every two months. She is very glad to see me.
