Model answer
Question 1 — example answer
Well, I usually wake up at around half past six on school days. One reason is that I need time for breakfast, so I set my alarm early. On Sundays, though, I often sleep in until eight.
Question 2 — example answer
To be honest, I really like relaxing at home after school. I usually enjoy watching a funny film or chatting with my friends because it helps me unwind. We sometimes talk about our day while we have a snack.
Question 3 — example answer
I prefer weekends because I've got more free time. During the week, I'm busy with homework, so I don't go out much. On Saturdays, I can hang out with friends or just stay home and do something I enjoy.
Question 4 — example answer
In my spare time, I often spend an hour outside. For example, I like cycling around the park near my house. It's fun and keeps me healthy, so I make time for it, even when I'm busy with school.
Question 5 — example answer
Yes, I would love to try learning how to cook. I enjoy eating pasta, so I'd like to make it myself. In my opinion, cooking is a useful skill, and it'd be nice to prepare dinner for my family.
