Spare time
PART 1
1. What do you usually do in your spare time?
Band 7:
In my spare time, I usually listen to music or watch movies to relax. Sometimes I go for a walk or spend time with my family. I also enjoy reading or scrolling through social media. It helps me unwind after a busy day.
Band 8
In my free time, I like to unwind by listening to music, reading novels, or watching movies, especially comedies. I also enjoy going for walks in the evening, as it helps clear my mind and refresh me. Occasionally, I spend time with my friends or family, either chatting or going out for coffee. On weekends, I try to do something more active like playing badminton or exploring new places. These activities help me recharge and stay balanced. I believe making time for enjoyable things is important for mental well-being.
2. Do you have a lot of spare time?
Band 7
Not really, I don’t have a lot of spare time because my schedule is usually busy with studies and daily tasks. But I try to make time for myself, especially in the evenings or on weekends. Even a little free time helps me relax. I think it’s important to take breaks.
Band 8
I wouldn’t say I have a lot of spare time, as most of my day is taken up by studies and responsibilities. However, I do try to manage my time so I can enjoy short breaks throughout the day. I usually get some free time in the evenings or on weekends, which I use to relax or catch up on hobbies. I believe it’s important to balance work with relaxation to avoid burnout. Even though I’m often busy, I value any free time I get. It helps me recharge and stay productive.
3. How do you feel when you have free time?
Band 7
When I have free time, I feel relaxed and happy. It’s a nice break from my busy schedule and gives me time to enjoy things I like. I usually feel less stressed and more refreshed afterward. Free time really helps me stay balanced.
Band 8
I feel really relaxed and content when I have free time because it gives me a chance to unwind and focus on myself. It allows me to take a break from daily responsibilities and do things I enjoy, like reading, walking, or listening to music. Having that personal time helps me clear my mind and feel more energetic. I also feel more productive afterward because I’ve had time to recharge. For me, free time is not just enjoyable but necessary for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It brings a sense of peace and balance to my routine.
4. Do you prefer to spend your spare time alone or with others?
Band 7
It depends on my mood, but I usually prefer to spend my free time with others. I enjoy talking to friends or family and doing fun activities together. However, sometimes I like being alone to relax or focus on my hobbies. So, I try to balance both.
Band 8
I enjoy both, but I usually prefer spending my spare time with others, especially close friends or family. Being around people makes me feel more energetic and gives me a chance to share laughs and good conversations. Social activities, like going out for coffee or playing games, help me unwind. That said, I also value some alone time when I need to relax, read, or reflect. It really depends on how I’m feeling that day. In general, I try to maintain a healthy balance between social time and personal time.
