Think about yourself. Which type or types of friend from the text do you think you are? Tell another student, giving reasons.

9. Do you agree with the title of the text: A small circle of good friends is better than one best friend? Discuss with a partner, giving your reasons.

Read the text and answer the questions.

Are you a coach potato?

Centuries ago, people didn’t have much free time, because everybody was working too hard. In Britain in the nineteenth century, people had more spare time, but because the Victorians hated relaxing and doing nothing, they invented football, rugby and cricket. People took up more gentle activities too, like gardening, bird watching and train spotting, and it was even possible simply to watch a sport and give the impression that you were actually doing something.

Gradually, leisure activities have become less and less demanding, and most people have a variety of more or less energetic interests and hobbies.

But now there is a new type of person who thinks that lying on the sofa watching television on Sunday afternoon or reading the newspaper from cover to cover is the most exciting activity they can manage. This is the twentieth-century coach potato. For them, every activity is too much trouble, and laziness is an art form!

So how do you spend your free time?

1) Are you a coach potato or do you enjoy active hobbies?

2) How does a coach potato tend to spend his/her spare time?

3) What are your favorite free time activities?

4) Do people in our country have much free time? How do they tend to spend it?
