responsibilities that an adult has adults have to work pay the bills and take care of their children kids usually don't have to do these things kids usually have to go to school and do homework this can be difficult but it's usually not that difficult so children have more free time when i was a kid i had a lot of free time i got home from school around 2 or 3 p.m and after that i played a lot on weekdays from monday to friday i probably had around four or five hours of free time each day

sometimes i got bored because i had so much free time but as i got older i had more homework each year so each year i had a little less free time i didn't have too much homework though in the us we don't get that much homework in some other countries children have a lot of homework i'm glad that my school work wasn't very hard on weekends i had even more free time on saturday and sunday i did many activities weekends were the best because i had all day to play and rest i really liked weekends

and i still do now that i'm an adult i don't have a lot of free time i have to work and do many other things i usually start working early like at 7 00 am or 7 30 am so i have to wake up around 6am when i was a kid i slept more i usually slept for eight hours every night as an adult i don't sleep eight hours every night i usually get seven hours or seven and a half hours of sleep how about you how many hours of sleep do you get so after

i finish work i have some free time in the evening however i usually do some extra work or studying during this time i have to make these youtube videos and instagram videos and i also study foreign languages at night i have some free time to just relax my wife and i spend the evenings together and enjoy this time okay now let's talk about some popular activities that people do in their free time for example many people like to play sports or exercise in their free time when i was a kid i played a lot of

sports i played basketball baseball tennis soccer football and golf i really liked playing sports in my free time but as an adult i don't play any sports i'm not very interested in playing sports nowadays however i exercise in my free time i work out almost every day but just for a short time other people spend a lot of time exercising so another activity that people do in their free time is watch tv shows and movies many people do this in their free time i know some people who watch many hours of tv every day i

don't watch a lot of tv or movies i really like playing games in my free time i play chess online but i'm not very good i also like playing board games with my family we play games like katan and codenames do you like playing board games one last activity that most people do in their free time is surf the internet this is probably the most common activity that people do i spend a lot of time on the internet some days i spend too much time on the internet it's not good to spend all day inside

on the computer we should try to go outside and do other activities too but the internet is very entertaining so it's easy to spend many hours surfing the web okay now i'm gonna ask you some questions about the video to see if you understood write your answers in a comment down below number one what time did i get home from school when i was a kid number two how many hours do i sleep each night number three what game do i like playing online alright remember to subscribe to the channel click on the bell and
