Do you like running? Do you like writing letters? Do you like dancing? Three people talk about what
they like doing in their free time.

Patrick: ‘Well, I like watching and playing football. Most of all, I like meeting friends after the match. It’s
the social element I like. And I like swimming and all sorts of sports. I don’t like just sitting at home doing
nothing.’
Shelley: ‘Me? Well, I like being with lots of people. I don’t like being on my own. I like going out with
friends, going to parties, discos, that sort of thing. I always try and make sure I’ve got plenty of things to
do at the weekend.’
Mary and Tom: ‘We can’t go out too much because of the children. We don’t like leaving them. But I love

three young children I don’t have much time!’
