Mv Day Off

Sunday is my day off. 1 needn't hurry anywhere on this day. I get up later than usual. It is not always easy to decide how to spend your free time. The choice often depends on different factors. If you are engaged into mental work you first of all want some physical exercise. In this case you can go out and have some fresh air. You can go for a walk in the park or out of town, where you can go in for sports and enjoy swimming, playing volleyball, football, skiing or skating, cycling or hiking, boating.

The choice greatly depends on the season and weather. In summer a lot of people are fond of spending their leisure time in the woods gathering berries or mushrooms, or fishing. If you stay in town you visit theatres and concert halls, museums and picture galleries. There are dozens of cinemas in which you can always find an interesting film to see.

On my days off I like to go to the country. I often go to the park or to the

forest.

In the evening I read books, newspapers and magazines. Reading is my hobby. I always visit my friends. Sometimes I go to the cinema or to the theatre, or just watch TV programmes.

13.Make up short dialogues on the situations given below. Work in pairs. Use the model:

Model: A: I usually go out of town on Sunday.

1 .George:What are you doing this weekend? Harry: I'm going away. G. Oh, where are you going? H. I'm going to London. G. How long for? H. Just for a week.
