Part 2&3  A special day out that didn't cost you much答案及解析_雅思口语练习「新东方雅思官方网校」

People spend their leisure time in a variety of different ways, depending on their interests and personality, and, of course, what they can afford to do. Some people get involved in a lot of sporting activities and take it very seriously. Others spend time shopping online or in malls, and others like to go out to bars and clubs and restaurants in a highly social capacity. There are all sorts of things people enjoy doing during in their free time. And in most cities there are a lot of things people can do – lots of clubs, societies, adventurous activities, and a whole range of cultural options too.  

Technology has greatly influenced how people spend their free time. Firstly, I think a lot of people have become very lazy about doing things in person with other people, and can spend hours, days or even weeks watching TV series online, playing online games, chatting with friends on social media – all without actually leaving the flat – all through their cellphones. I think there’s a big downside to this, and although technology has connected us in so many ways, it has also resulted in a lot of people living very sedentary lives and only communicating with others through their phones. 


Old people often have a lot more leisure time because they have already retired. They may not be as active as they used to be in their youth, but they certainly have a lot more time to read, listen to the radio, lounge around and take it easy. Some old people are responsible for looking after grandchildren, so they are more occupied than others, but generally speaking older people have a lot more time – and especially if they have a decent pension, they often find it’s the time in their lives when they can relax more and rest more and live a calmer and more comfortable life.
