What it is:

In the future, I am planning/ have an intention to take up

swimming/ playing the guitar because
- Swimming: one of the most important survival skills=> it is
necessary to master it.
- Playing the guitar=> beautiful sound/ release stress after
hardworking day/ not as difficult as playing the piano.
How you would start it:
- Swimming: choose the best suitable swimming course with
reasonable price. I have looked at a lot of advertisements
on swimming courses, but I haven’t had a chance to visit
any of them to check their facilities as well as ask about
the cost and teachers. I’d like to choose a four season
swimming pool because I can join the lessons even in cold
weather and go swimming on a regular basis.
- Playing the guitar: firstly I need to save money to buy a
high-quality guitar. Although it may not cost an arm and a
leg/ cost a fortune compared to the piano, it cost me a few
millions to buy a good guitar. Then I am going to study
online. There are a variety of free guitar courses on the
 internet and I find it not too dificult to follow because I
have learnt to read music before.
Why you have not started it yet
- Busy with my study/ up to my ears with my study and
prepare for an important exam.
- Have not saved enough money for a swimming course/ to
buy a new guitar.
What help you would need
All i need is money now, but it’s quite hard to save enough
money because I’m living in HN which has a very cost of living.
Therefore I have to spend a big amount of money on my daily
expense. To make my dream become true as soon as possible, I
think that I will need some financial support from my family.

Part 3
1. How has the way we spend free time changed over the
years?
 Nowsaday, people tend to spend their leisure time more
on smart devices instead of joining outdoor activies as in
the past.
+ attactive applications on smart devices such as fb….=>
keep people attached their eyes to the screen for hours.
+ busy and stressful work=> make people lazier and just
want to stay in bed when they have free time.
2. Do you think only old people have free time for leisure?
No=> people of all ages have a demand for relaxation in
different ways.
