Usually, I have not free time. I like study the books. I never waste my time in doing unusual things like going cinema, show, concert etc. In this time I work hard to improve my English language. Because my goal is study abroad like US or Europe in best university in the world.

No, I used to spend my time watching TV, playing guitar, listening to music, eating someone, and sleeping when I am lazy.

in the fact i try to do something in free time because of the time is very imortant for me...as read the articles about any subject like history ,psychology ,astronomy, sociology, biology...and i can not forget also read some the nevel especially nevals'S Dossiovsky and i usually exercise the sport...moeover I try to learn the english language through many ways such as communicate with persons who want to learn and improve thier english language by use some aplications...in the meantime i also learn the spanich language because of i live in spain....

No, I prefer to stay home, watch some TV and feed my dog.

Yes I had made a lot of plans in my free time .yes absolutely this crisis. I have to study harder..I want to learn many languages including English.and I want to use this time usefully not to waste.If I do I know I will regret so much on it. Sry I am writing this cmt to practice my writing skills.

I don't have so many plans for my free time. I just want to study english during quarentine and ready my books with a relaxing lo-fi.

Yes, most of my time when i'm home alone.

Yes,I always like to do a schedule for my life,actually I love to see the plans in paper and do them in a right way.It helps me to think better and feel more useful.

Sometimes this happens to me when my friends call or text me in the last hour, but I prefer to plan to go out a week before.

I love to plan my day and spent like planned. But if something more important comes up than planned I don't feel good because something unexpected came up in my schedule.
