Most people have hobbies and interests which they prefer doing in their free time. As for me, I don’t get much free time, especially on weekdays. However, at weekends I try to do the activities I like most of all. They are skating, bowling, dancing, swimming, reading, listening to music and going out with my friends. Ice-skating is something that I have taken up recently and I quite enjoy it. Swimming is my all time favourite activity. For bowling and dancing I need a company. Sometimes me and my friends go to the nearest disco and dance there. The ground floor has bowling alleys, so we can combine these two activities. When I have spare time I love reading books, especially romantic novels and detective stories. When I want something relaxing, I listen to music. My favourite band at the moment is Linkin Park. Occasionally I go for a walk with my best friends. We chat about everything, and sometime we even gossip about other classmates. I plan my weekends in advance. If I don’t have my own plans my friends usually offer me something exciting. Speaking of hobbies, I’d like to tell you about my collection of coins. I collect coins from all over the world. My father often travels and he brings me many different coins. My other hobby is collecting soft toys. I already have more than 50 items. They occupy a special place in my room and my heart. I know that British teenagers have many other leisure activities, such as playing football, horse-riding, taking care of pets, going hiking or to theme parks, and else.

It is snowing again. It is gorgeous. Just like a fairyland. All white. And the snow is glistening in the 
sun. But the snow flakes are light, and as I glanced out the window, I have noticed that they melt 
the moment they hited the pavement so it could not be the weather which makes Andrew late 
getting home. "I think the traffic and the snow will hold  him up," Sarah said. "If it is snowing  in 
Connecticut, it  can slow Andrew down, and everyone else who will come back to the city on 
Sunday night. There , is probably a backup of cars." "That's true, yes," I 155 
said, seizing on this possibility, wanting to ease worry. But the fact is, Andrew was never 
late, and that was what troubled me now. Sarah knew it as well as I was, but neither of us 
voiced this thought at the moment.
