MODEL ANSWER:

• There have been many situations in my life when I have got a chance to enjoy free time.

• Today I would like to talk about the time when I had just completed my secondary education and I was free for couple of months.

• It was during the spring of 2016 and my exams had just got over.

• I had four months with me before I started college.

• Since I was waiting for my results so I had nothing else to do.

• Also I worked really hard for my examinations, so I wanted to take a break.

• For the first month, I did nothing at all.

• I just sat at home all day long and watched my favorite shows on TV.

• After that it started to feel boring so I decided to visit my cousins in the village.

• There I did a lot of fun.

• I used to go to the fields with my uncle everyday and played a lot of games with my cousins at home.

• I really cherish those days as I had a very good time with my relatives.

• I came back home in the month of June and it was very hot during this time of the year.

• My results had also come and I passed with great marks and was looking forward to join college.

• I still had two months before my college started so I decided to join some activity.

• I signed up for guitar classes in the evening and joined a gym nearby my home.

• During the daytime I went to a NGO near my home where I taught maths to children of 5th Standard.

• I believe all these activities brought a positive outlook in my personality and I felt really good at that time.

• I became more healthy and mentally strong.

• I also learnt the importance of the time and I think one should utilise the free time in a constructive manner instead of sitting idle.
