3. Match the activities and their descriptions:

a) fishing

b) shopping

c) watching television

d) football

e) entertainment

f) going to the nightclubs

1) Well, I go to the match on Saturday afternoon, and then go out with my mates for a drink in the evening. It’s a home game; I can usually get back to watch Match of the day on television. Then on Sunday we all meet up for a game of football. I belong to the Southfield Superstars, which is a part f the Southern Sunday League. We play every Sunday from September to May.

2) We always have people for dinner on Sunday nights, or we get invitations to have dinner with friends. Sometimes we go out to restaurants. We like Chinese food, and there are plenty of good Indian restaurants.

3) I go shopping. I adore it and I go shopping for clothes at least twice a month. And I haven’t got any money, I go window shopping and decide what I’m going to buy when I’m rich.

4) I go round the clubs, meeting friends, dancing, listening to music, that sort of thing. I try to go out every night if I can, because, I can’t stand staying at home. I usually stay out until about two or three, unless I’m going to work. Then I try to be in bed by midnight.

5) I go down to the river at least once a week, usually on Sunday because that’s when I want to get away from children at home. I don’t mind spending Saturday with the children, but I get bored if it’s the whole weekend. My wife doesn’t mind. She says she prefers me out of the house. But she’s pleased when I catch enough fish for supper.

6) In the evenings we watch television, monthly. We don’t go out much because our children are still quite young. We’ve got satellite TV so there’s plenty of programs top watch. And it gives you something to talk about when you’re at work the next day.

4. Which of the following do you like doing in your free time?

Example:I’m really into wrestling. Or I am fond of listening to classical music.
