A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Print the single page and choose a manageable selection of prompts. Explain that everyday relaxation counts: learners do not need an unusual hobby or specialist skill to take part.
- Start with favourite free-time activities and indoor or outdoor preferences. Model an answer that explains when and why the activity is enjoyable.
- Pairs discuss childhood interests, hobbies they stopped and things they would like to try. Encourage follow-ups about how an interest began.
- Finish with a recommendation for a friend or the free-afternoon question. Ask partners to suggest an activity that fits the other person's time and interests.
Support and extension
For support, offer I enjoy… because… and I'd like to try… . For an extension, compare one main hobby with several hobbies, or discuss turning a hobby into a job. There is no answer key; value a clear reason even when partners have different preferences.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
