When I’m not at school or studying I have lots of different activities. I usually spend my leisure time with my sister or my friends. Sometimes we go to the cinema, to each other’s houses or for long walks in the city.
At Mariana’s house we spend some time playing musical instruments and practising, because we have a band. Mariana and Ricardo play the guitar and my sister is the lead singer. Ana plays the drums and I play the guitar, although sometimes we play other instruments or switch tasks. In my house, my friends and I usually do some school work or just talk and play some funny games. We always have lots of fun together!... I also watch TV very often. I don’t usually read, although I like reading, and I play “Wii”, sometimes alone or with my friends and family. I prefer spending my free time with my friends because we have many things in common and lots of fun when we are together, even if we stay at home.
At night I usually switch on my computer and chat with my friends in the msn. I also enjoy listening to music. Every time that I have access to the internet, I go to the “www.youtube.com” or I visit other sites to do some school research.
I like spending time on my computer very much, but there is a little disadvantage: my computer isn’t portable and in Winter it’s very cold and that’s boring, because if I’m working, I can’t concentrate myself.
In my opinion, the internet can have as many advantages as disadvantages. There is no doubt that the internet is a great means of communication, although it can be very dangerous, too. There are lots of people that don’t understand the danger that is giving our personal identification or meeting new people through the internet, so I think that we should just chat with people we know. But the internet has a lot of useful information and different leisure activities, such as computer games, too.
In my free time I also love doing some sport. Since last summer holidays I have been playing tennis and, whenever I’m not busy, I like jogging with my father and sister.
