8.+12. Free Time Activities

Since I'm a student, I go to school on weekdays and so I don't have too much free time. I usually spend six or seven hours at school, then I have lunch at the school cafeteria. After that I either go downtown for some shopping or I go home and study. If I have some free time during the week I might also read a book or watch some TV. Lately my evenings have been spent preparing for my graduation examination which takes up a lot of time.

Even though I have a lot to do, I still have some free time for leisure activities. On the weekends during spring and autumn I like going to our cottage with my family. I like taking long walks around the countryside and I like watching the seasons change. I am also interested in rock collecting and mineralogy so when I get some free time I like looking for interesting rocks to improve my collection. In winter I enjoy sports like skiing, skating or playing ice hockey. I'm not very good at skating or hockey but I think I've become a pretty good skier.

I have the most free time during the summer months. One of my favorite activities is to go canoeing with  my friends. It's really nice. We borrow a couple of canoes and choose a nice spot on the river to begin. We spend the day floating and paddling down the river. Sometimes if it gets hot we jump into the water and have a swim. Of course, we take breaks during the day, we stop along the river to prepare some food or to visit a local pub. In the evening we set up our tents and make a campfire. We spend the evening talking, singing songs, and enjoying nature. One of my favorite things to do is to cook sausages over the campfire. We also like to wrap potatoes in a foil and then cook them in the hot ashes. These wonderful trips, just like the summer, always end too soon.  

My Hobbies
People may have a lot of different types of hobbies during their lifetimes. When we are very young most of our time is spent playing with dolls or toy trucks. We may also enjoy playing in a sandbox or with wooden blocks. When we get older we start to pursue our first hobbies. Some kids go out for a sport like football or figure skating. These new interests can be quite time-consuming and most children put a lot of energy into them. Some other children might get interested in less active activities like reading, painting, or stamps collecting, while some others might enjoy playing an instrument like the piano or the flute.

As we get older, our hobbies might change or they might not. Some people who collected stamps as children still might be collecting them when they are 80. Other people might change their interests every year depending on fashion. Some people are lucky that they have found professions that are similar to their hobbies, like the weekend gardener who works as a landscaper or the kid who loves computers and becomes a programmer.

Some of the most popular hobbies include watching TV or videos, reading books, magazines and newspapers, playing a musical instrument, singing in a choir or listening to music. Lots of people like travelling as a hobby. Many people like to join sports clubs where they practise gymnastics, basketball, volleyball, swimming, handball or judo. The main goal of a hobby is to give youself an enjoyable break from your everyday work or school. A hobby is something you should do only for yourself.
