Free Time

Marcin P/Eugenia

Free time in Poland is spent mainly in home (reading books, computer games, the internet) or outside. There you have more attractions. You can go to play basketball, tennis, football or volleyball. So what are you waiting for? Go and do something :D.

On the other hand many people choose another life- style and in their free time they prefer taking part in many events like private parties, concerts or clubs.

Free Time

Teens usually connect their free time with sport, music, friends and the Internet Here in Zlatoust sport is very popular. We have lots of sport clubs where most of teens spend their time after school. Also we have annual May race event for the fancy of running. As for me I enjoy spending my free time in an active way, often with my family or with my friends. I have not so much free time as I want but I try to get both good and pleasure from it. I go cycling when it’s warm, help my parents when they need, relax with my friends when I’m tied.

Spending spare time is different by boys who like more to explore cars, technique and extreme kinds of sport, and by girls, who are more worried what they look like, so they go shopping, experiment with their appearance, read fashion magazines when they are free.

Of course, every boy and every girl has his or her own preferences who to spend free time, but the main aim is the same- to relax after busy day…
