the questions. Then play that section of the recording
again without stopping. Repeat this procedure for the
other section.

Speaker 1
When youve been studying hard in college all week its,
um, its nice to do something different at the weekend.
My friends think Im a bit odd, but I often just spend
a day in the flat doing boring things like, you know,
cleaning and washing. Strangely, this makes me feel
much more relaxed at the end of the weekend than I
would if Id been, um, sitting watching TV or reading
the Sunday papers.
Speaker 2
I suppose I should do a few of the household things like
the washing and tidying up, but I prefer to spend time
outside doing jobs like mowing the lawn and cutting
the hedge, that kind of thing. It sounds like hard work,
but its, er, actually, er, very relaxing. I need to get my
bathroom redecorated, but I keep, er, you know, putting
it off as Im no good at DIY. One day, perhaps.
Speaker3
Im very busy during the week, what with working
and looking after the family, so, um, in the evenings
I just tend to fall asleep in front of the TV. Saturdays
are always very busy, and I usually, um, I, I usually go
and watch my boys playing football in the afternoon.
Sunday is my day, and you might think Id have a lie-in
and read the papers. Actually, doing a bit of decorating
is my favourite way of relaxing. Its quite creative in its
way and I, um, I, I like making things look good.
Speaker 4
Weekends are my chance to switch off from work. I
often get up early on Saturday and, you know, do some
of the household jobs and get the shopping done. I, um,
I hate doing that kind of thing, so it gets it out of the
way. On Saturday evenings I usually invite some people
round, and I enjoy experimenting with new ideas in the
kitchen thats how I relax, mainly. Id like to grow my
own fruit and vegetables, but I havent got a very big
garden.
Speaker 5
Its great having a weekend at home, particularly in
the summer when I can, um, you know, just sit in the
garden and do absolutely nothing. I used to be a keen
tennis player, but now I dont even follow the sport on
TV any more. My favourite way of spending Sunday
morning is to, um, lie on the sofa with a big pile of
papers and find some interesting articles to read while
my partner prepares lunch for the family.
