My day off (or free day) is Sunday. I like this day very much. On Sunday I get up later than usually, at 9 o'clock, for I needn't hurry anywhere.
The greater part of Sunday I spend for leisure. Sometimes I switch on TV and choose the program I like best. Also I see video films with a video recorder. Television helps me to see a lot of interesting things: thrilling movies, different lands and countries, outstanding people, sport games, variety performances, entertaining shows. If I want to go out, I usually go to the cinema (if a good film is on) or to discotheques. There are a lot of them in Moscow and it is often very difficult for me to decide where to go in the evening. Sometimes I join my friends and we go to a rock or pop concert to dance and see a great star.
On my days off I also like to be out of town, if the weather is fine. I meet a friend or two and we find a nice place somewhere in the forest or on the bank of the river. On the beach we lie in the sun, play different games andswim. In winter my friends and I prefer to go skiing. This is my favourite kind of sport. I also like to play football and watch football games on TV I am a real football fan.
If the weather is bad or I dont want to go anywhere, I stay at home, read books and newspapers, watch TV or visit one of my friends. I am not fond of theatre, but my sister is. She likes to go to the theatre to see a play, opera or ballet, but she is interested in rock' n roll music as well. Sometimes we go together to a concert hall or to the circus.
And of course every now and then we receive guests at our place or go for a walk to have some fresh air. I enjoy my days off as much as I can.
