На английском языкеПеревод на русский языкFree TimeСвободное времяMost 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.
The Internet has helped to develop tourism. With Internet, we can find any pictures of any place, to gather information about the country, to know which places we can visit, to reserve a room, to buy tickets, and all this without leaving home. But as in all the things there are positive and negative features. Firstly, when we read reviews about any place, we can find people who liked this place and did not like. Thus we can spoil our view. Secondly, when we look through the pictures in the internet, on arrival we do not have surprise, joy, because you have all seen it in the Internet.I think it's worth a look for background information. And everything will be okay.
