When we have time for leisure, we usually need something that can amuse1 and interest us. There are several ways to do this. People use radio and television. They switch on the radio set or TV set and choose the programme they like best. Some people like music. They listen to various concerts of modem and old music, new and old songs, and see dances. Those who are fond of sports listen to or watch football and hockey matches. These are the most popular kinds of sports. There are a lot of fans among people. Everybody likes to see skating and dancing on the ice. Radio and television extend our knowledge about the world in which we live.
Television helps us to «visit» different lands, see new plants, animals, unusual birds, fish and insects 2 , mountains and valleys, lakes, rivers, and seas.
This what can we do at home.
If we want to go out, there are a lot of cinemas, theatres, museums, Houses
of Culture, clubs in our Republic. If you are a film fan, you will go to the cinema. When new interesting plays are on, it is not easy to get tickets. Then you
must book tickets.
The cinema has really become the most popular kind of art. Films are shown
in cinemas, clubs, Houses of Culture and even schools in villages. Young and old people like to see films very much, and when a good film is on, house is
usually full.
In small towns and villages both Houses of Culture and clubs are the centres
of cultural activities which are carried out through different sections. Those who like to dance join a dancing section. Those who are interested in music join a musical section where they are taught to play different musical instruments. The art section is a one of the most popular with the people, because they can leam to create beautiful things there. Some members are taught to paint and they organize local exhibitions of their paintings. Some do cutting work, others grow flowers and take part in town and region flower-shows. Old traditions are coming to life. In some villages they build « Huts on hen's legs »3 , taverns in the old Belarusian style, where people can meet their friends, have pleasant talks, eat national food, listen to Belarusian music. So you can see how interesting are the ways in which leisure time can be spent.
