My favorite leisure activities
My favorite things to do in my free time are hanging out with my friends
and playing sports. I am a very outgoing person, so I love to meet and
have relaxing times with my friends at the weekend.
When all of my friends are busy, I choose to go to the park and play some
sports such as badminton and shuttlecock kicking. There are always
people that want to play with me, so I do not need a partner whenever I
want to play a sport.
Besides, I also go to the pool to have some fun under the water, and I am
pretty good at swimming. A week for me is so long, but thinking of the
free and good time to do whatever I like on Saturday and Sunday gives
me more strength and energy to finish it.
