Introduction

The subject of this double period is free time.

Make groups of three or four.
Discuss these questions in English with your group:
- What do you do when you don’t have school?
- When and how often do you do these things?
- Who do you do them with?
- Together, make a mindmap about free time. Use the questions above for the ‘arms’. You can add another one if you want.
