Marta: Hi, Jon. Thanks for agreeing to answer my questions for my English project. So, tell me about your free time.

Jon: Well, I spend a lot of time at school but that isn’t free time! After school, I go home and stay at home all evening. I spend time in my room. I do my homework and listen to music. My parents come home late so I can listen to music they don’t like.

Marta: And at the weekend?

Jon: Sometimes I go out with my friends. We go for a walk or to a café. We talk about films or music. I am never at home on Saturdays! On Sundays, I spend my time with my grandparents – at my grandparents’ house. Oh, and I study English! That’s it, I think.

Marta: OK. Thanks.

Reporter: It’s Friday afternoon and I want to know what people do at a typical weekend. Hello. What’s your name?

Simon: Hi, I’m Simon.

Reporter: Can you describe your typical weekend for our listeners?

Simon: Sure. My weekends are usually busy with football. I run a football club for children in my area. I coach the kids on Saturdays. It’s really nice to watch them – they have a lot of fun and the exercise is good for them. Then on Sunday mornings, I play with my local team. It’s the football season so I also watch football on TV or on the Internet. I really love my weekends.

 

Lena: My name’s Lena.

Reporter: Hello Lena. What do you do on a typical weekend?

Lena: Well, every weekend, I go to a different part of the city and take hundreds of photos. I photograph people, places and situations – anything that looks interesting or unusual. In the evening, I look at the pictures on my computer and post the best ones on Facebook. A lot of people comment on the photos. It’s really interesting. You can see them there.

Stuart: Very nice. Do people comment on them?

Ray: Hi, Emily, do you want to go for a pizza?

Emily: No, thanks. It’s Saturday. I go to the gym on Saturday.

Ray: Do you do a lot of exercise?

Emily: Well, on a typical weekday, I get up early in the morning and I go for a run.

Ray: Even on Monday mornings?

Emily: Yes, every day. At the weekend, I go running in the afternoon. And I go to the gym.

Emily: No, I get up in the morning but I go swimming

Ray: Sometimes at midnight when Mum and Dad phone me and say “It’s late! Come home, now!”. I don’t really like sport. I like making videos. I post them on the Internet. You know. On YouTube and things like that.

Emily: I know. I don’t watch YouTube videos but I know some people like them. I sometimes watch films on TV but not often. I just prefer doing exercise. It’s great. Come running with me later.

Ray: Let’s run now, to the pizza restaurant.
