Questions

How we spend our weekends & other free time We have completed a questionnaire at our school. We inquired 32 students from 5th to 12th class. This way we have discovered lots of students free time activities, school life & other preferences.

Lets start from the main thing. To the question „Are you waiting for your weekend?“ 9 from 10 children answered yes & just 1 said no (a very interesting child…). Most of the enquired students did their homework for about 2 hours, the minority said, that they usually did it just about one hour. Then we asked, „What are you doing during the weekend or in the other free time?” Most of all students said, that they often watched TV, listened to music, did other pastime or just relaxed from school & lessons. Also, most of the students said, that they liked active games, such as basketball, football, swimming, horse riding & so on… Many children help parents in farm work, household or family business. That’s how it should be! Now about books! Our students like books, most love stories, comics, horror, adventures & other literature. Half of the students we have enquired, at home have about 50 books and about 3-5 books get or buy per year. Students visit our school library usually for making references or for taking a book to read. Also we had asked, „ What would you do, if you had a possibility, in your free time?” Many students answered, that they would go to the cinema, to café, to a shopping center or to dance in the club. However, students & now have many others gaieties. They answered, that they about 1-5 times per year visit the cinema, luxuriate watching plays in the theatre & recreate in the concerts. Alike they often go camping & not so often travel around the Lithuania. For interest, we asked „ Which week day do you like most?” To this question 9 from 10 students answered that Friday is the day trhey like best. Wonder, why? Well I bet, because in the Friday afternoon, after school students turn to simple children. Then they can rest, do their favorite hobbies, watch TV, play with computer… Students said, that they usually watched about 5 films in weekends, while in weekdays just 1 or 2 films per day. In these modern times, when technologies conquer the world, the mobile phone is a necessity (at least it seems so). Students also have & use them very „ actively“. They answered, that they usually used mobile phones to send & get messages (sms). We asked, „How many (approximately) messages do you send/get per day/“. The answers varied from 5 to 500 messages per day … That’s all that we wanted to tell you about our free time activities. We expect that you were reading about it with interest.
