Tzu-Lee

lot of free time, but its not true. We

activities for pensioners in
our town. On Mondays we
play chess. On Tuesdays we
go dancing. On Thursdays we
go swimming.
On Fridays we do gymnastics!
s!
We sometimes go on coach
trips to different places or
visit museums. Were never
bored. Its not a bad life!

Jack

Im a working mum so I dont have

m
much free time. When I come home
I cook the dinner, watch a bit of TV
aand go to bed. At the weekends I like
sspending time with my Kids. We go
