Swimming makes me feel ………………………. the next day for morning school lessons. I walk in
the park with friends in the weekends and ……………………… around with them.

I’m Peter Smith. My favourite free time activities are swimming, walking in the park and
chatting on messenger. I often go to a swimming pool to take swimming lessons and get
exercise. Swimming makes me feel active the next day for morning school lessons. I walk in
the park with friends in the weekends and hang around with them. We spend nice time
telling stories and laughing. Walking gives us pleasure and positive vibes. I love use of
technology and I love to chat with friends. I always send maths exercises with answers to
friends and receive feedback on my work or my friends’ works. Doing activities in our free
time is very exciting for me. But, the problem is we do not really enjoy so much free time
because we study all week.
