My Spare Time
I am a middle school student.Though I’m busy with my lessons,my spare time is still colorful.
After school I usually play sports.I like basketball and football very much.Sports help me to keep healthy and study better.I often do some reading in the evening.I think books are our best friends.They give us much knowledge that we can’t learn at school.So reading books is the best way of spending my spare time.Sometimes I watch TV or surf the Internet.I find it’s a good way to relax myself.At the same time it can also help me open up my eyes to the outside.At weekends I often help my parents with the housework.I clean the house,wash clothes and learn to cook.I enjoy myself in my spare time.
