Problems of the free time

 

All the teenagers can be divided into two groups: formal and informal. Teenagers from informal groups have interests from those of the mainstream ones, for example hackers, rockers, skinheads etc. teenagers from formal groups generally spend their free time going sports, party going, sightseeing, watching TV, cinema or theatre going.

Sport helps people to keep fit and beat stress and negative emotions. It builds character. But for many teenagers taking sport seriously is no fun at all. It’s a hard and expensive business.

Some people like to go to the parties. I adore it too. It’s so pleasant to listen to good music and dance. And of course it’s a terrific opportunity to meet new people and to chat with them.

Art lovers attend exhibitions and enjoy world famous paintings, rare sculptures, the remains of ancient civilizations. For them it’s very interesting to visit different museums, for example Pushkin’s Museum of fine arts or Tretyakov Gallery.

Cinema and TV films have become an important part of our life. Now we can watch films of different genres, such as western, action films, comedies, thrillers, melodramas, horror films, cartoons. I like to go to the cinema and I prefer cinema to video, as you sit together with other spectators and your emotions and fillings are twice stronger with all these people around you.

I like theatre as well and like watching an exiting play or listen to a talented opera.

Many of teenagers complain that it has become very expensive to enjoy culture and attend cinemas and theatres regularly, as well as good sport clubs. But to my mind most of teenagers face another problem, they have no free time. This is my problem as well, especially this year. But I hope that after my school and entrance exams I’ll be able to relax completely and enjoy every minute of my free time.
