I'm a typical student, I suppose. I study hard during the week and go out with my friends at the weekend. I don't have much free time but I've got lots of hobbies. I play tennis occasionally, about once every two months, and I do judo every now and then when I'm at home with my family. I don't do any sport at university, though. I watch TV most days for about an hour, but I hardly ever read. No books, no magazines, nothing! I listen to music all the time - in the car, in my room, when I'm doing homework, when I'm going to sleep. I love it. My favourite group is Coldplay but I like lots of different types of music. I go to concerts quite often, usually three or four times a year, and I always enjoy them.

My other big hobby is my computer. I don't play games on it - I think they're boring - but I'm online nearly every day. I chat to my friends on Facebook and look at photos, and I download films and music. I love watching films. I watch a film on TV almost every day and I go to the cinema twice a month, more or less. I don't like horror films - they're scary! - but I like romantic films and action films. I never read books but I read the newspaper every day online. I'm not into politics but I like reading about famous people. I think it's interesting.

So that's me. I'm a very ordinary person, really. I'm not a sportsman but I like playing tennis and doing judo. I'm not a bookworm but I love watching films and reading newspapers. And I'm not a musician but I'm always listening to music.

LISTEN TO THE DIALOGUE:

Emily: Hi Liam! What's up?

Liam: Hey Emily! Not much. What are you doing this weekend?

Emily: Well, today I'm going to make a cake with my mom. We're trying a new recipe!

Liam: Yum! That sounds tasty. I usually just watch sports with my dad on Saturdays.

Emily: That's fun too! After the cake, I want to draw pictures. I love drawing funny animals.

Liam: Nice! I like to play card games with my little sister. Do you play any games?

Emily: Sometimes! But tomorrow, we're going to the city to visit a museum. I love learning new things!

Liam: Cool! I've never been to a museum. After that?

Emily: We're going to visit my grandparents. I'll probably play the piano for them.

Liam: Wow, you have a busy weekend planned!

Emily: Yeah! And I might even make videos of all the cool stuff. What about you? Any special plans?

Liam: Not really. Maybe I'll try making a cake too. Your weekend sounds awesome!

Emily: Thanks, Liam! Maybe we can swap some activity ideas next time.

Liam: Sounds like a plan! See you later, Emily!

Emily: Bye, Liam! Have a great weekend!
