Free Time and Hobbies
My family and I love our free time. I read my favorite magazine and listen to music with my headphones. My sister writes songs and plays the guitar. She is very creative.
On weekends, my parents watch movies and surf the Internet on their website, while my brother and I play soccer at the soccer field near our house. We also play video games and go jogging together. Sometimes, my family and I travel to new places. We bring our passports to the airport and take photos with our camera. My dad loves to camp, so we pack our tent and make a fire at night. My mom cooks and bakes in the kitchen with her favorite recipes. When we go to the mountains, we hike on the trail or ski in the snow.
It is an enjoyable, healthy, and adventurous time for everyone. At home, I practice yoga on my yoga mat. It helps me feel peaceful and relaxed. Free time is very important to my family.
