Talking about your free time is a great way to start a conversation in English, or to find things in common when you're speaking to somebody.

By the end of this lesson, you'll be able to speak clearly and naturally about your free time and your hobbies in English.
这节课结束时，你就能用英语清楚又自然地谈论你的业余时间和爱好了。
Part one: free time and hobbies vocabulary.What words do you know for free time activities in English?
第一部分：与空余时间和爱好有关的词汇。你知道哪些与业余活动有关的英语单词？
Some people prefer things you can do at home, like watching TV, reading, or cooking.
一些人更喜欢能在家里做的事情，比如看电视、看书或下厨。
Other people like sports, like playing football, playing basketball, playing tennis, going swimming, going jogging, or going climbing, or maybe doing boxing, doing judo, or doing yoga.
其他人喜欢运动，比如踢足球、打篮球、打网球、游泳、慢跑或爬山、或者拳击、柔道或瑜伽。
Of course, many people prefer more social activities, for example, hanging out with your friends, relaxing with your family, or going shopping.
当然了，很多人更喜欢偏社交性的活动，比如和朋友们出去玩，和家人一起放松，或者购物。
Or maybe you like to do something more creative, like taking photos, painting, or writing stories or writing a blog.
或者你可能喜欢做些更有创意的事情，比如摄影、绘画或写故事或写博客。
What about you?What kind of free time activities do you prefer?
你呢？你更喜欢哪种业余活动？
Let's look at how you can talk about free time activities and hobbies which you like.
我们来看看如何谈论你喜欢的业余活动和兴趣爱好。
Part two: what do you like doing?"In my free time, I like..."
第二部分：你喜欢做什么？“在我的业余时间，我喜欢......”
What could you say here?"In my free time, I like playing basketball."
你在这里的空白处能填上什么呢？“在我的业余时间，我喜欢打篮球。”
"In my free time, I like relaxing with my family.""In my free time, I like reading books."
“在我的业余时间，我喜欢和我的家人一起放松。”“在我的业余时间，我喜欢看书。”
Can you see a pattern here?In every sentence, after 'like,' we use a verb plus "-ing".
你看到了这里的模式吗？在每个句子中，我们都在 "like" 后面用了动词加 "-ing" 的形式。
Can you make a sentence?What do you like doing in your free time?
你能造个句出来吗？你在你的业余时间喜欢做什么？
But just using "like" can be repetitive and boring.So what other verbs can you use?
但是只用 "like" 未免有些重复无聊。那么还能用什么动词呢？
Well, you could use verbs like "love", "enjoy", or "hate".For example: "I love going swimming."
你可以用 "love" 、"enjoy" 、"hate" 等动词。举个例子：“我爱去游泳。”
"I enjoy watching TV.""I hate going shopping."Can you see the same pattern?
“我喜欢看电视。”“我讨厌逛街。”你看到了这同样的模式吗？
After all of these verbs, you need to use a verb with "-ing".
在所有这些动词后，你要用动词的 "-ing" 形式。
You can also add words like "really", "sometimes", or "absolutely", to make your meaning stronger or weaker.
你还可以加上像 "really" 、"sometimes" 、"absolutely" 这样的词来加强或减弱你的意思。
For example: "I really like taking photos.""Sometimes I enjoy going jogging.""I absolutely hate playing football."
举个例子：“我非常喜欢拍照片。”“我有时候喜欢慢跑。”“我讨厌透了踢足球。”
Now it's your turn.What can you say?Can you make your own sentences?
现在轮到你了。你能说什么呢？你能自己造个句子出来吗？
OK, so now you can say something about what you like or don't like doing.
好了，现在你会讲自己喜欢或不喜欢做的事情了。
Let's look at how you can add more details to your ideas.First, let's say how often you do your free time activity.
我们来看看怎么给你的想法增加更多细节。首先，我们来说说你做业余活动的频率。
For example: "I like playing sport.I play football every Tuesday evening.""I absolutely hate going shopping.

I only go shopping once or twice a year.""I really like taking photos, but I don't get the chance to do it often."

What about you?How often do you do your hobbies?You can use these phrases to help you talk: "every..."
你呢？你多长时间进行一次你的兴趣爱好？你可以用下面这些短语助自己一臂之力："every..."。
For example: "every weekend", "every Saturday afternoon", "every day".
举个例子，“每周末”、“每个星期六下午”、“每天”。
"Once or twice a...", for example: "once a week", "twice a month", "three times a year", and so on.
