Presentation. 6th grade. How do I spend my free time

How Do I Spend My Free Time

Most  people  have their free time  everyday . Sometimes they are bored, but other time they

try to do  something   pleasant .

They have  different  hobbies,  which  help them

to relive stress and forget about everyday work

and problems.

There are many kinds of activities which they like to do but all of them have their own favourite way of spending free time

A lot of people like  travelling . They search for new places which they’ve  never  seen and for exciting experiences connected with travelling. Some go to the  mountain , where they can test their strength. Others go to  the sea  or to the lake, where they rest: they have a sun-bath and they bathe and they can also go by a yacht or a ship. A lot of people, like my parents, are fond of (=like) travel to other countries, to see some monuments, new  wonderful  places.

Many people practise  sport  regularly in their spare time.  After  work they like playing football or basketball or running. They know that sport is a good way to  relax  so they  always  try to have at least a little time for everyday practising sport. Most doctors say that sporting is needed for good development of our health – I  think  that it’s true. Many people in my town, the  young  men particularly, like keeping fit and they often go to the gym in their spare time.

Some people   like using computer in their spare time. They have a great pleasure when they can play computer games or to know new computer programmes – this is the kind of a  hobby . Other people can sit down in  front  of the TV set and  watch  it a whole day. A lot of people like resting listening to  music  or the  radio . Some men like going to  the river  or the lake to fishing. I think it’s a good way of exercising our  patience   and I  think it’s very boring.

Many people fascinated by cars like cleaning and repairing their cars in their leisure time, this is the pleasure for them. In my opinions it’s a very useful  activity  because it develops people’s qualifications as mechanics.

There are a lot of people who like staying home in their free time instead of going to parties or to the cinema. They are too tired to go  somewhere , they like resting and relaxing at home with their  family . Some people go to see their friends or visit their families in the country. But there are also people who  generally  have little free time or haven’t got it at all. I think it’s very bad when people haven’t time for their family and to rest and they live in stress all  the time .

Forget about prepackaged mixes and store-bought cans — there's something about cooking and baking from scratch that feels almost spiritual. Maybe it's the creative aspect of pulling it all together, tasting and adjusting along the way to be sure your recipe is just right. Maybe it's the satisfaction of seeing your creation turn out well, a manifestation of all the love and intention that went into making it. Maybe it's the presentation, with all the little drizzles and sprinkles that turn your dish into art.

Or maybe it's just that it tastes better.

Depending upon what you have in your cabinets, you may need to purchase certain spices and staples, but I've found that it's not too hard to keep a well-stocked kitchen, and it's definitely cheaper than eating out. Plus, it's nice to get a craving for something and know that I have the ingredients to make it, meaning fewer spontaneous trips to the grocery store.

Whittling

All you need is a knife and a piece of soft wood; the rest is nothing but your own creativity. There are plenty of tutorials online to get you started, and there are even some whittling magazines out there as well. And if you're wondering what you could possibly make by whittling

Drawing

If painting isn't your thing, try drawing. Sketchbooks are relatively cheap and easy to tote, so you can take your hobby with you wherever you go. And like painting, you can self-teach using books, online instruction, and lots of practice.

We have many different leisure habits but I think that  everybody  likes resting, relaxing and do some things they like best. I can’t  imagine  not having any free time – I think that living without it for a long time is  impossible . In my opinion our  happiness  depends (to a high degree) on our ways of spending free time.
