The most common free time activities are probably reading, watching TV or movies, listening
to music, surfing the net, playing video or computer games, spending time with family,
hanging out with friends or playing with our pets. People listen to music at home and in the
car.
Free time activities such as reading, going to the theatre, cinema, a concert or exhibitions,
watching TV or doing crosswords are rather intellectual and they don’t take much creativity.
The less active hobbies usually take place indoors at home, at a community centre, a cinema,
a theatre, a concert hall or an exhibition hall.
After sitting indoors all day at school or at work people like going out. On Friday or Saturday
nights they often go to the disco or to a pub. Sometimes they go to a concert. Going to the
theatre or to an exhibition is a bit more serious but a lot of people like to do this.
Going to the theatre can be a wonderful experience. If you are sitting close to the stage, you
are almost face-to-face with the actors and actresses. You need to get the tickets in advance,
and if you read the plot beforehand, it will make your theatre experience much more
enjoyable. There are some rules you have to keep in mind if you go to the theatre. You must
turn off your cell phone and dress appropriately. Talking during the performance or singing
along with the play can be very annoying for others.
There aren’t so many dos and don’ts if you go to a concert, especially if it is a pop or a rock
concert. You can scream, shout and sing along with the show. Seeing your favourite singer
live can be an unforgettable experience.
If you go to an exhibition, you don’t need to buy the tickets beforehand. You just walk around
and enjoy the beautiful paintings, drawings, sculptures or other exhibits, but large crowds of
visitors can spoil your visit.
My home town offers a lot of entertainment opportunities such as going to the theatre,
concerts or exhibitions.
Our theatre is very famous all over the country, and its performances are of a high standard.
The theatrical company consists of well-known actors and actresses who always give their
best. There is also a wide variety of concerts to choose from. During the year there are several
festivals and events and a lot of concerts.
