Spare time
How do you usually spend your evening and with whom?
There are many different ways I spend my evenings, from hanging out with a few friends in a bar to asking my girlfriend out for a nice dinner, from surfing on the internet at home to enjoying the fellowship of my family before TV. Anyway, there are always things to do in evenings for me.
虽然没有必要事无巨细，但是在这里运用排比的修辞，不但可以增强语气，还可以同时向考官展示自己对英文深层次的运用。
Do you like to go out in the evenings and with whom?
Well, it really doesn’t matter to me. If I’m in the mood of going out, I’ll go out, sometimes alone, sometimes with friends. But if I’m not in the mood of going out, I’ll just stay home. Maybe I’ll go to bed early.
本题问的是晚上外出，考生在回答问题的时候还要注意理解题目。
What do people today usually like to do after work?
It really depends on individual preference. Most people go straight back home after work to enjoy family in China. But there are always exceptionals. I know a few people who are afraid of going back home after work. (Whisper) You know why? Their wives are very ill-tempered. They are afraid of them.
该题目给出的答案运用了幽默的因素，但是并不是每个考生都一定要试图给出考官一个非同寻常的答案。重要的是把问题回答清楚。
What do you like to do after work?
Well, though from time to time I do different things after work from hanging out with a few friends in a bar to having a nice dinner somewhere. In most of the cases, I would just like to go straight back home after work to enjoy the fellowship of my family.
下班后的生活一般有两大类，一类围绕自己的家庭，如回家，另一类围绕朋友或者同事，如酒吧，餐馆等。
What do you do in your spare time? How do you arrange your spare time?
As a matter of fact, I have very little spare time these days. My studies are so important to me that I have given up all my other activities. For example, I used to love playing tennis, but these days I simply do not have the time. In addition, I used to swim often, as I believe it kept me fit without the danger of being injured.
Well, these days, I surf on the Internet in my spare time. I have just bought my first computer, and love to look for exciting web sites that I have not known before. It is of course very time-consuming, so I don’t really have time for anything else. I have to mention that it is an educational activity. For example, by means of web cams (video images from cameras set up at certain places) I am able to watch what wild animals are doing in many parts of the world. I particularly like to watch the polar bears playing with their cubs.
空闲时间的生活和活动是丰富多彩的，考生可以充分发挥想象力回答问题。
What do Chinese people do in their spare time?
It really varies according to people’s age, gender and many other factors. However, generally speaking people in China like to hang out with friends or do some outdoor activities in their spare time.
Do you think spare time is important to you?
Yes, it definitely is. I just can’t imagine a life without any spare time. Anyway, everyone’s life needs a little bit of seasoning and switch-off from the daily routines.
Do you feel lonely if you stay at home for a long time?
I guess so. I am very much a social being. I need to talk to people, spend time with people. I just can’t stand being alone for a long time.
Actually, I enjoy spending being alone during the week—I am lone ranger. But on the weekends, I’m eager to reconnect with others and to share joyful and fun times together.
作出肯定或者否定的回答后，要自然的给出孤独或不孤独的原因，这样比等待考官追问要好。
