周末来了，今天我们来一个比较开心的话题，大家周末都在干什么？初高中生们可能想说，什么是周末，我们没有周末啊，周末比平时还忙。那么大学生或是工作了的此时就是呵呵一笑。话不多说，我们来看一下机经话题哈~   

1. What do you do in your spare time?

2. When do you spend time with your family?

3. What do you usually do on weekends?
4. What did you do last weekends?
5. What do other people in your hometown (or, in your country) usually do on weekends?

6. What are you going to do next weekend?

7. Do you think it is important to make the most of your weekend?

本话题的难度不是很大，但是越是简单的题目你们的话就越少，所以大家平时要尽量多多积累话题词汇，避免到时候就只会说打球，逛街，吃饭。虽然说一共有7道题，但是雷同性很高，所以我们今天只拿重点话题来举例。

What do you do in your spare time?

What do you usually do on weekends?

What did you do last weekends?

What are you going to do next weekend?

What do other people in your hometown (or, in your country) usually do on weekends?

其实对于爱运动的人来说，weekends and outdoor activity 的内容很像，周末做做运动啊放松一下，对于不爱运动的来说周末如果有时间，要么待在家里要么出去shopping，要么就跟小伙伴出去浪一浪。给大家补充一下业余时间都会做什么的一些常用表达。

When do you spend time with your family?

这个问题我们还是分情况来说，对于那些跟父母住在一起的人来说基本上只要回家就会跟爸妈说说话聊聊天，周末或是假期的时候大家还会安排出去玩耍；不跟父母住在一起的，基本上就是假期或是不忙的时候才会跟他们团聚，平时也就是we chat 或是打打电话。

住在一起

Well，I live with my family at the moment so that I can spare most of time with them, having breakfast and dinner, lying down on the sofa and discussing the plots of the TV drama together. Except that, when we are both at leisure, we will have a short trip for relaxation.

不住在一起

I’ve already moved out two years ago for the sake of study/work, so only when I have a few days off can I come back home for getting together with my parents. In most cases, we prefer to use We chat or make a phone call to communicate.

Do you think it is important to make the most of your weekend?

先来解释一下什么是make the most of 最大限度地利用，也就是说好好的安排，好好的过一个充实的周末重不重要。有些人觉得周末就应该是疯玩儿的时候，但是也有很多人觉得工作一周了，也玩不动了赖在家里什么也不看，看看电影睡个觉挺好。

Sure, I agree a fully weekend is crucial because of the busy and boring life. I really hope I have free time to do something I am longing for. But others may not have the same view on this matter, they believe just lying down on the sofa is a perfect choice to relax as well.
