Free Time. Entertainment.
Someone has counted about one thousand personal interests and ways to spend one’s free time. Collecting coins, stamps and postcards is one of the most popular pastime activities. Lots of people are interested in music, art, cinema and theatre. Some people like taking photos or camcordering. Millions of people are fond of music and sport.

Many people prefer watch sport competitions on TV, so do I. So, active pastime is replaced by sitting comfortably in front of TV and eating junk food. Of course, television is a good way to catch information and entertain yourself watching various talk and quiz shows.
Nowadays young people aren’t interested in visiting museums or art-exhibitions. Less and less are collecting stamps or taking photos. They are interested in more active pastime like doing sports or going to the cinema.
