If I have long holidays, I don't have any important things to do, I usually make plan for a trip like to visit beach or visit my native town. Or I stay at home & take rest the whole time.

Do you make lots of plans for your free time?

Of course I do, so that I can achieve a lot of things. And also when we tidy up our free time, we can manage our lives like what time do we have to ourselves?, improving my English?, reading? My hobbies?… And so on. 💆🏻‍♀️

Do you make lots of plans for your free time?
No, I don't make many plans for my free time, because in my leisure time, I go to bed. I'm a big fan of sleep. Sometimes, I make plans to go to the coffee or milktea with my friends.
