My free time

My name is Laia, I’m fourteen years old and I was born inBarcelona, but when I was only some months old I moved to Tiana, a little village near Barcelona, it is very beautiful!

Now I’ll explain you what I do in my free time: I love to meet my friends and going to the cinema, to the swimming pool, to the beach …, or just chatting with them. When I stay at home I like talking with my friends by msn or e-mail very much. It’s very fun! I also love reading my favourite books, especially fantastic stories, like Harry Potter, and a lot of other books. Since I was a child, 7 years old, I practise music because my mother is a music teacher, and now I play the piano and the flute at the music school in Tiana. I like a lot of music bands, but my favourite one is Jonas Brothers. They are a famous pop/rock band from Texas. I really love their songs, which I listen to while I do my homework, in the car, on my mp3…. Apart from that, every Friday I go to my drama class. I like theatre very much, and with my company we do a lot of very funny plays!

The things I like doing in my free time


My name is Marina and I’m going to explain to you the things that I like doing in my free time.

I have some hobbies like playing basketball and I go training twice a week, on Wednesday and on Friday and on Saturday we always play a match in the morning.

I also like playing the violin and every Tuesday I go to my classes in a Music academy. I go to an English academy too because I want to learn it for the future and because I like it, too.

Some days I have no extra classes and I go home and I like reading a lot and watching TV and, obviously, I also have a look  in my agenda and, if I have homework, I do it.

And if I had more time I would go to drama classes because I like it a lot.

Well, these are the things that I do on my free time, and you, what do you do in your free time?
