You are going to hear a woman interviewing a student for a survey about what people do in their free time.

Listen and answer the following question.

Look at the pictures. Which activities do you think the student does in his free time?

Try not to read the script if you can understand the conversation.

Interviewer: Excuse me. I’m conducting a survey on how people spend their free time. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?
Peter: Oh, er, OK. I’m just waiting for my friends – they’re always late, so I should have a few minutes!
Interviewer: Right, now, can I have your name?
Peter: It’s Peter, Peter Harley – HARLEY.
Interviewer: And do you work or are you a student, Peter?
Pete: We~ both actually. I’m studying really hard for my exams this month – I’m doing maths at university – but I also help my parents out. They own a restaurant and I work there as a waiter in the evenings, so I don’t get a lot of free time during the week.
Interviewer: It sounds as if you’re very busy.
Peter: Yes, I am, and my mum’s always saying I don’t help enough in the restaurant! But I do manage to find some free time most days.
Interviewer: Great. Now, can you have a look at this list and tell me whether you do any of these things and if so, how often?
Peter: Sure. OK, well, I love music and I’m learning to play the piano. I get up really early and practise for an hour or so just about every day. I also play the guitar in a band with some other friends. We used to practise together at least three times a week but these days we only manage to meet about once every two weeks.
Interviewer: What about the next thing on the list: computer games? I assume you’re too busy to play them.
Peter: Well, I used to play them all the time but now I’m too busy studying and I don’t miss them at all!
Interviewer: And do you use a computer for other things?
Peter: I use the Internet just about every day for my studies, and I also use it to keep in touch with my friends and family. My cousin is living in
Thailand at the moment and he sends me regular emails to let me know how much fun he’s having! He’s always visiting exciting places.
Interviewer: Yes, the Internet is making it much easier for people to stay in touch with each other. Now, how about team sport?
Peter: Actually, I joined the local football team when I was at school and I still play once a month provided I can get to training. I much prefer playing football to watching it on TV, though I do occasionally watch a match if there’s a big final or something.
Interviewer: What about going to watch live matches?
Peter: I’d love to be able to afford to go every week because I support my local team, but students don’t generally have much money, you know! I can’t remember the last time I went to a live match. Oh, sorry, I can see my friends – I have to go now.
Interviewer: Thank you for your time.
