LEISURE TIME

When we have time for leisure, we usually need something that can interest and amuse us. There are several ways to do this. In big cities it’s often difficult to decide where to go in the evening.

If we want to go out there are a lot of theaters, cinemas and clubs in our country where we can spend our free time. But in small towns and villages they have no actors of their own. So they invite a group of actors from a big town to show plays.

People who are fond of music join a musical section where they are taught to play different instruments. Those who like to dance join a dancing section. People who are interested in sports can join sport sections such as tennis, basket-ball, chess and others. And, of course, all the people use television. They switch on the TV set and choose the program they like best of all. People who are interested in sport listen to or watch football and basket-ball matches. Everyone likes to see skating and dancing on the ice.

Some people like music. They listen to concerts of modern and old music, new and old songs and see dances. Television helps us to «visit» different lands, see fish and insects, lakes, rivers and seas. We are shown different countries, cities and people who live there. On TV people could even see both sides of the Moon. Televi-sion extends our knowledge about the world. So I think, that ways in which leisure time can be spent are different and interesting.
