My free time, by Laura García 1ºE-NI

My name is Laura. I´m 26 years old and I live in El Quirinal (Avilés)
I’m going to write about my free time because I´m a very busy person.
From Monday until Friday I go to the faculty in the mornings from 9:00 until half past one. After this I go to my parents’ home because I have lunch there. Then I study a bit and from Monday until Wednesday I go to my English class. I leave the class at 8:00pm and often my boyfriend and I take a coffee before going home. In our home we prepare the dinner. Finally I finish the day very tired but before going to bed we watch the TV a little. We normally go to bed at 12:30.
At the weekend it is difficult to know what we are going to do because every weekend we do different things: we do sport in the winter (ski), we go to the beach in summer, sometimes we go to the cinema and on Sunday I go to watch football because my boyfriend plays in a team.
Nowadays every Saturday I´m employed the whole day at the coffee-shop of the library and sometimes I´m employed at the theatre….
This is my life and I try to enjoy every day.

My favourite hobby, by Irene Rosas 1ºL-NI

Hi! My name is Irene. I’m 27. I’m studying English at the Official Language School of Avilés.112475
I’m going to talk about my favourite hobby. I have a lot of hobbies, like sports, reading mystery books or listening to music but I like watching films so much. I prefer to see the films at the cinema. Two years ago, I used to go to the cinema three times a month, with my boyfriend or with my friends, but now the cinema is too expensive, so we only go if the film is interesting. Also, we go to a video club and rent the films that we don’t see at the cinema (it’s cheaper).
What are my favourite kinds of films? I don’t know how exactly what… My favourite films are about the Nazi Holocaust, like Schindler´s List or The pianist.
Also, I like comedies like Burn after reading (that is a film noir) and Ben Stiller’s comedies. I think he is a fantastic actor of comedies. Finally I like dramas. One of my favourite films is In the name of the father, The Shawshank Redemption or Blood Diamond.
I hate romantic comedies or romantic stories, because they are boring and the stories are always the same.
As for my favourite actors and actresses, I don’t have one because, for example I don’t specially like Adrien Brodie but in The pianist I think he made a fantastic interpretation of his character and so did Leonardo Di Caprio in

The Departed.
