What do you enjoy doing in your free time? Here are some answers from different people.
I enjoy going for a walk, or for a hike in the nature. As a computer programmer, I spend most of my days in front of a computer. It’s surely not good for my health. That’s why I try to cut down the screen time when outside of work, to give my eyes and my back a rest. Basically you can say that I enjoy being outside and moving when I am not working. ——Linda
I love to read books on real stories. First of all I enjoy reading them, but I also believe that they help me to learn a lot of things which I can use in my work in sales. They help me improve on my vocabulary and communication skills, and also they help my mind relax a bit. ——Jordan
To be honest with you, outside of work I simply enjoy lying on the sofa, reading a good book, or watching a good movie. In my work time, I do a lot of physical work, and often arrive home tired. I learned to listen to my body and it needs rest, so I give it to it. On weekends, however, I like to do short trips and ride a bike in the countryside. ——Jeff
