Different Ideas About Free Time

Tzu Lee

People think that teenagers have a lot of free time, but it's not true. We get a lot of homework. But this term I'd like to do some acting, so I'll probably join the Film Club. I think it's important to do different things, not just study, study, study all the time. A teenager's life isn't easy!

Jack

I don't have much free time. After school I help my dad. He is a technical worker. I like learning about machines. I don't have any special hobbies, but I like listening to music and making CDs for my friends.

Tzu Lee's grandparents

We have a lot of free time because we don't need to work. There are many activities for old people in our town. On Mondays we play chess. On Tuesdays, we go dancing. On Thursdays, we go swimming. On Fridays, we go for long walks. Sometimes, we go on short bus trips to different places or visit a museum. We're never bored. It's not a bad life!

Jack's mom

I'm a working mom, so I don't have much free time. When I get home, I cook dinner, watch a little TV, and then go to bed. On the weekends, I like spending time with my kids. We go fishing or biking if the weather's nice. I like walking too. It's relaxing but the kids always say that it's boring.

When I was five years old, I took a boat out on the river and went fishing by myself. I really wanted to catch a fish!But they were not biting.

I stayed in my boat for three days, waiting. A few times, I thought I felt a fish at the end of the line. The first time I pulled in my catch, it was not a fish; it was an old bag. The second time, it was a shoe. Finally, at the end of the third day, I felt a strong pull at the end of the line. The pull was so strong that my boat raced around and around. I needed all my power just to hold onto the fishing rod. I pulled, and I pulled and I caught the biggest fish that ever swam on the earth!It was heavier than everyone in this room put together!Then something terrible happened!

After I pulled the huge fish into my boat, I saw that the boat was going under water!Water was coming into the boat from all sides!I was not a very good swimmer, so I was scared.
