Some students spend their spare time lying down, though they are not sleepy, and day-dreaming; others fool around without any purpose.
The best way to fill spare time is by doing some fruitful activity such as a hobby or sport. Such an activity can be done individually or with a group.
In some countries, for instance, Germany, the U.S.A. and Australia, facilities for extra curricular activities are supplied by the schools. The students can choose which activity they want to take part in. There are sports clubs, art clubs and social clubs, and they are usually guided by experiencec teachers.
In some towns and cities there are Youth Centres, Scouts and other organizations in which we can get together during our spare time. There are many activities that can be done together such as playing games (football, badminton, and so on), self-defence, going on a picnic and camping.
Of course we can't always be with our friends. When we are alone, we can do individual activities. There are many things that can be done such as collecting stamps, writing prose or poetry, knitting, sewing, swimming, listening to music or learning about religion.
Photography is a good hobby, though it is expensive if we take it seriously. However, we can always start by using a cheap camera.
Some activities are more relaxing and need less effort than others. Some demand a competitive spirit. We must choose the activities for our spare time so they don't interfere with school or daily chores. Of course the activity must be suited to our pocket.
So that we don't easily get bored, we have to choose activities that will make it possible for us to meet people and experience a different environment. As a result, our horizons will be broadened.
If you are still at school, this is the best time for trying different kinds of activities. These activities will be an investment for your future life at university or in society.
