3. What does your father do in his free time
？
My Dad likes to watch a lot of TV He frequently buys DVDs and he watches them
late at night when everyone is sleeping. He’s extremely busy with his job and he doesn’t get
much time on his own
．
So he waits for everyone to go to bed, and then he turns on the DVD
player. That’s the only time when he doesn’t need to talk to my mother and my grandmother.
During the holidays, he often plays mahjong with friends. They hang out, catch up, and I
think they drink quite a bit too.
4. Are these activities popular in your country?
You mean watching TV and playing mahjong? Yes, definitely
！
I think that middle-aged
people all around my country love to watch TV, and many men in the south enjoy playing

cards or mahjong
（＝
a kind of Chinese dominoes). It’s fun, and at the same time, it’s a good
chance for people to socialize.
5. If you had more free time, what would you do
？
I would like to exercise more often. I wish I had more time to play basketball, and maybe join
the gym to work out. In addition, I wish I could travel more as well. You know how big China is;
there are so many stunning places I would like to visit. I’d love to go to Sichuan Province and
Tibet. I wish I had more time and money!
6. What would you like to change about your daily routine?
I guess I should try to get to bed earlier, and get up earlier too. I play computer games
late at night sometimes. I should focus on other things. And as I told you, l wish I had more
time to exercise on a weekly basis
．
I would love to try new sports like rock climbing, for
example.
As a high-school student, there isn’t much I could do to change my daily routine
．
I just wish I
didn’t have so much homework all the time, so that I would have more time to
enjoy myself.
