　　Actually I have to spend all my evenings on my homework, but sometimes I finish it before getting home, so I have plenty of time to watch TV and play on-line games with friends I knew on the Internet.

　　4. What do you usually do after work/ after classes?

　　The biggest part of my after-class-time is always taken by homework. But things get different when weekends come, when I would have fun in my various family activities, including watching TV, going to parks and driving around the city, and sometimes out of the city.

　　5. Do you prefer to stay at home in the evenings or do you prefer to go out?

　　I prefer staying at home because actually nothing outside could arouse my interest in the evenings. People go to Karaoke, parties, movies but none of them attracts me, because I think evenings are to be spent with families.

　　6. Do you think modern lifestyles give people enough time for leisure?

　　No, not really. Life is filled with stress. Modern people live a highly-intensive lifestyle. There are stress and pressures from all directions such as endless bills and mortgage waiting to be paid. What’s more, they have to deal with assertive boss, manipulative colleagues, demanding task, and overtime workload. In my opinion, they are deprived and they don’t even have time to think about relax.

　　7. Do you think people today have more time to relax than in the past?

　　No, I don’t think so. The world runs faster every day, and so are we. New technologies and modern economic system are created to bring us infinite materials and wealth, but at the same time we are spending more and more time seeking for them, forgetting to relax.

　　8. Do you think it is important for people to have leisure time?

　　Yes, I think so. People should find a balance between their work and life. But today they seem to care more about work. Working and studying overtime are nowadays usual to most people. But we should really give more attention to our families, friends and ourselves. We live for ourselves after all, not for our bosses.

　　9. Do old people and young people spend their leisure time in the same way?

　　I bet to differ. As I know, old people have much more leisure time than the young and they can take their time to walk around the neighborhood, play Mah-jongg o Chinese chess, o go dancing. Buy young people doesn’t, they have to make the most of their leisure time, so they often find something interesting to do such as Karaoke, video games and sports.

　　10. What do you think are the good points and the possible bad points about having leisure time?

　　Good things of having leisure time are that we can relax ourselves to get our energy back for the next busy day, and it is a hope for our endless work. But is might also sometimes cool down our enthusiasm for work and break its continuity, resulting in a reduce of the efficiency.

　　11. How do people in your country spend their holidays?

　　Decades ago people in my country like outdoor activities such us playing football and basketball. They organized a picnic in the suburban areas or go hiking. But now they refer some indoor activities such as going to the karaoke or just staying at home watching movies, and playing computer games.

　　12. Do you like to travel in your holidays?

　　I love to travel in holidays, especially to places I have never been to before, such as Thailand, Holland and so on. I really enjoy travelling because when you have a change of scenery and a change of environment for a while, it helps you to relax and is good for your health.

　　13. If you had a child, what leisure places would you go to with your child?

　　I would like to take my kids to Canada, specifically British Columbia, Vancouver and areas in that region, I have been to Niagara and I have seen some of the great lakes but for me the scenery of the west coast is amazing, the mountains, rivers lakes and trees are breathtaking, the people are really friendly, with a simple and slower way of life, how could you not enjoy being there.
