Эталон ответа:
Our world would be hard without rest and recreation. People have quite different ideas of how to spend their free time. For some of them only way to relax is watching TV or surfing the Net, others use their spare time getting maximum benefit from it. If you enjoy doing some activity in your free time, then you have a hobby. A hobby is a kind of self-expression and the way to understand other people and the whole world.
Lots of people find going to the cinema one of the best ways of spending their leisure time. There is no doubt that a visit to the cinema is excellent entertainment, and quite cheap. You can always find a film you like among horror films, thrillers, westerns or comedies. Despite the fact that video production has flooded the market, cinema houses haven’t become less popular. Thanks to new equipment that provides an excellent quality of picture and sound, modern cinemas attract a lot of people.
Watching television is another popular form of entertainment. Television satisfies the interests of many people due to the variety of TV and may be called couch potatoes (the ones sitting in comfortable chairs, munching on potato chips, watching programs on TV).
The new lifestyle brought about great changes in the theatre. We are to admit that theatre is not as popular now as it used to be. However, quite a lot of people consider it to be one of the most popular forms of entertainment. Living in Saint Petersburg you can really take advantage of its theatre world. There are drama theatres, opera houses, comedy theatres, puppet theatres where the audience is excited by the prospect of seeing a play and its and favourite actors.
Other popular forms of entertainment and spending leisure time are playing computer games and sitting in front of the screen has become a new national pastime. I think that the excessive use of the screen is bad for our health and you may even spoil your eyesight.
As for me, I can’t say I have a lot of free time for entertainment. However, whenever I get some, I do my best to have as much fun as possible. Most of all I like hanging out with my friends. If someone suggests going out, I always agree. The next thing I adore is having my friends over. We play computer games, chat, listen to music, dance and have fun. One more thing I like doing is to eat out. In recent years going out for a meal or having takeaway meals has become popular. Unfortunately, it is quite expensive and I have to find a part-time job to have some pocket money.
