My leisure activity

1. Leisure activity
Prepared by Bobr Arina, A11.1

2. People say that a man’s character can be told by the ways
how he or she uses his spare time. For some people work
is necessity in order to gain a living and only in free time
this person can show himself.

3. Somebody is completely passive during leisure hours.

4. It can be explained by hard
physical work. These people
need to spend their leisure time
by doing nothing. They like to
read books and sit in an
armchair with a cup of cacao.
We can say that these people
are maybe introverts, as they
like to spend time in their own
world.

5. But some people adore being active during leisure hours. They plan
how they want to spend their spare time.

6. As usual these people have hobbies like scuba-diving or
mountaineering. They can’t sit on one place, they need to
move, to spend their energy.

7. And some types of people get a real satisfaction when they can
show what they’ve done during leisure time. Their favourite
hobbies are carpentry, pottery, sewing or knitting.

8. As for me, I used to be very active in my spare time, but now I
appreciate my personal time, because I can have a rest during these
hours. It is a kind of refreshment for me, it helps me to recreate my
own sources of inspiration. I need a lot of energy, because my study at
university is very difficult.

9. But sometimes I really feel the necessity of passing my free
time actively. Instead of watching TV or reading good books I go
to a concert, or I like having picnics in the forest.
I also like swimming and walking with my friends.

10. To tell the truth, leisure activity can show what this person likes, it
shows how they are filling themselves.
Leisure time also helps all people to have a rest from work or from
some every-day problems.
