Hundreds of years ago there was no problem of what working people could do in their free time. Their hours of work were so long that they had hardly any leisure. Nowadays it’s very difficult to name all the activities, entertainments and hobbies run by people in their free time.
I have several hobbies which I enjoy doing after school, both indoors and outdoors. Sometimes I wonder how I fit them all into my schedule because I have a lot of homework. Every day I have not much time to relax. In that period I usually rest after hard school day, listen to music, watch TV or read books. I like listening to music. I like different kinds of music and may listen from rock music to classical. It depends on my mood.
I like watching TV, though my parents not very happy about my spending hours in front of the telly. I agree that there are many mindless programs, but I, of course, watch TV selectively and have my own preferences. I like to watch some sports programs, quiz shows and the news. And I like scientific programs, though some of them require background knowledge to enjoy them completely.
I like reading. Books bring me pleasure and delight. Thanks to books we learn to express our thoughts and feelings more exactly and, of course, books are the richest source of information. Sometimes my friends and I exchange opinions about books, speak about them, exchange books. Among my favourite books are fantasy, philosophy and detective books
