How do you spend your leisure time?(Or: what do you usually do in your spare time?
這是一道自由發揮的題目,不同的人有不同的興趣愛好,打球、下棋、看書、上網等休閑活動都會從不同側面幫助我們調節生化。如果能用簡潔的語言來說明一下原因,則會使回答顯得更加充實。比如,打籃球可以幫助我們提高團隊的合作意識等等。
Candidate 1: What do you do in your free time? Study, you might say. Come on! All work and no play makes jack a dull boy. This is a popular western saying: I'll say, "Work hard and play hard, or simply relax. Well, as a guy living in the society, I do have got some interests or hobbies. I have to admit that I am a little lazy and only want an easy and casual(隨意的) life. So it is obvious that watching films at home or in the cinema is a perfect option.
Films really tell me a lot. First I can experience various lives by throwing myself into(投身于) an ocean of films. Sometimes, I just imagine I was the hero in a play so that I could have a true understanding of the charater's thoughts and feelings and helps me from different stories. For instance, an inspirational(勵志的) film comforts me a lot while I'm going through difficulties and hardships. Furthermore, it is apparently a satisfactory way to kill boring time. There is no need to think about anything else but follow the plots. Last but not least, sharing an awesome(精彩的,棒極的) film with families, friends of lover is what I dream of. Staying together is such simple happiness.
Anyway, film is totally such an ideal thing that I sincerely appreciate the guy who produced it.

Candidate 2: There are various ways of spending your leisure time. If you are a social person in nature, you may hang out with friends, have dinner in a nice restaurant, or go to a party. You'll surely enjoy yourself. If you are a culture-oriented person, interested in activities that improve people's skills or mind, you may go to concerts, attend live theatre performance, visit museums, or participate in artistic activities, such as painting and dancing. Such forms of recreation(娛樂) give you relaxation and make you more refined and learned. If you like sports, you can go swimming or take part in aerobics(有氧運動) classes. You can also play ball games with your fellows if you prefer team work sports.
In my spare time, I enjoy listening to music and surfing the Internet. Sometimes I go shopping with my peers. In my opinion, music is the reflection(反映,表現) of feelings. For example, when one is happy, he tends to listen to light and fast songs, while if he feels sad, he is likely to listen to heavy and slow songs. It is surfing the net that does me good. By logging onto(登陸) the Internet I can not only chat with my friends in other cities but also learn more knowledge about current events, sports and entertainment news.
All in all, my spare life is very colorful.
