How do you spend your spare time? There will be different answers to it. Most people in Poland(波兰)have their own ways of spending free time. They have many different hobbies,which help them to get away from their everyday problems and spend their free time happily.
Many Polish(波兰的)people like travelling. They always look for new places that they have never been to and add new and exciting experiences to their journey. Some of them like to climb mountains, others like to go to a sea or a lake to swim,because these can make them get exercise and are good for their health.
Many Polish people also like to do sports in their free time. They are usually crazy about football,and football is regarded as the Polish national sport. Many football tans may support a certain team, so they go to watch every match of the team they support, and they buy many things that have relations with the team. Watching sport and doing it are both good ways to relax.
In addition, doctors say that doing sports is very good for health. Many people in town, especially young men, often go to the gym to attend the exercise classes to keep fit.

Little Women is a novel written by an American writer, Louisa May Alcott. It came out in two volumes in 1868 and 1869. The novel follows the lives of four sisters-Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March from childhood to womanhood.
These four sisters live with their mother. Meg and Jo, the elder sisters, both work outside the home for money to support the family. Meg teaches four children in a nearby family, while Jo helps her grand-aunt March, who is very rich. Beth helps with the housework, and Amy attends school. Their nearest neighbour is a rich man whose orphaned grandson lives with him. The sisters introduce themselves to the handsome shy boy, Laurie, who is the age of Jo.
Meg is the beautiful sister; Jo is the tomboy(爱打闹的女孩); Beth is the musician; and Amy is the charming artist with blonde curls. Jo is easy to get angry. One of her challenges(挑战)in growing up is to control her anger. Laurie enjoys his neighbours, often joining the family. His grandfather, Mr. Laurence, is charmed(吸引)by Beth, and gives her the piano used by Laurie's late sister.
