Read the following text carefully.

The importance of leisure time

What do you usually do at the weekend or whenever you have leisure time?
In your free time most of you probably prefer going to the cinema, shopping,
playing games, and spending time on your social network, don’t you? Well,
instead of wasting your time on trivial things, it’s better to do something
5 useful when you have some spare time.
If you have a garden or backyard at home, then an obvious suggestion is to
spend time gardening. You can improve the look of your house by growing
flowers and plants, adding decorative features, providing stunning lighting,
and even building a pool or pond. Gardening is interesting and great fun,
10 especially if you do it with other family members.
Another useful thing you can enjoy during your leisure time is doing a
hobby. What’s your hobby? Don’t say that it is watching movies,
shopping, or eating snacks. I mean a rewarding hobby like knitting to
make your own clothes, writing articles to be published in newspapers,
15 reading a business blog if you are a businessman, and so on.
