【一起闲话英语】空闲时间想去做什么-Free Time Wish List

 Anita, Taiwan

speaker What is something I wish I have more time to do? Actually, I'm a member in a band at my university and I spend a lot of time with those members practicing music but I think I would like to have some more time to play music with them because I think to play with, to play music with those members is really interesting.

 

Al, England

speaker Something I wish I had more time to do is socialize cause I don't go out and meet people as much as I would like to so it would be nice to be a member of a club or join a circle of some kind where I can meet more people, perhaps at the weekend.

 

Barbara, Australia

speaker Something I really wish I had more time to do would be study Japanese. At the moment, I'm self-employed so I have to work everyday¹ to get enough money to make ends meet so I don't really have enough time for studying Japanese, which is what I would really like to do. You have to spend a certain amount of time each day doing it otherwise² you won't make any progress. I really wish I had more time to do that.

 

Mark, Alabama

speaker I wish I had more time to read. I enjoy reading³ but I waste so much time, whether on the internet or at work. I guess I shouldn't say that work is a waste of time, but you know, I do so many other things and I keep so busy, I never have time to read and it's the one thing that I usually wind up regretting⁴. Many times I think, "Ah, I really need to read more."

 

Ruth, England

speaker There are many things that I wish I had more time to do but probably the main one is I wish I had more time to spend outside looking at the beauty⁵ of nature cause we tend⁶ to spend a lot of time inside at work and I don't think I wish I had more time for things like watching TV or anything like that because I think that's quite boring really. I think I would like to spend more time outside.

 

Simon, Canada

speaker I wish I had more time to just hang out with friends, you know, not only me but also friends don't have a lot of free time but since it's summer now it would be great that if three days a week I could just hang out and have a barbeque with my friends
