Someone once wrote, “All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.”
Work is important, but everyone needs leisure time too. Leisure time means free time to
do whatever you want. It’s time for anything that interests you. Some people like to play
sports. Others like to go to interesting places, such as museums or national parks.

Many people have hobbies. They make things or collect things.


Right now, someone is enjoying a hobby somewhere. People collect stamps, coins, rocks,
or butterflies. Everyone likes to make something. You can make a boat or a table, a
sweater or a blanket, a bird cage or an apple pie. It doesn’t matter what, as long as it’s
something you do yourself.

People with hobbies are not dull. They are interesting because they
can talk about their leisure activities. Some work and some play will make you
interesting too.

Answer the questions

1. Who needs leisure time?


2. What is leisure time?
3. What do some people like to do?
4. What things do people collect?
5. Can you make a table or a table cloth?
6. Why aren’t people with hobbies dull?
7. What will make you interesting?

“will” in spoken English when the speaker is expressing a definite plan or intention.
The present progressive is also sometimes used to express a future meaning. The future
intention expressed by “be going to”

Describe how the world will be in 2100

Prewriting
What will the future be like?

No one knows, but everyone has an opinion.

What will the world be like in the future? I think that future people will go
through the same cycle of life and have the same problems as people today. They will be
born. They will go to schools and a university; they will fall in love. They will find a job.
They will grow old and die. But the way of doing these things will be different. Their
parents will choose their sex and physical characteristics, and they will be conceived in
test tubes. They will have electronic teachers that they only see on TV. They will fall in
love through computer dating. They will work at home with a computer hook-up to
their jobs. They will grow old with transplanted organs and die when they are 150 years
old. Will the world be better? I think there will be less disease, but I think social
problems will increase, and war will continue. (George M. Rooks, 1988:97)
