How to spend leisure time in different countries
Many
countries use many things to spend their leisure time. Different countries
people spend their leisure time many way such as hiking, camping, visiting,
skating, surfing etc.
The Chinese
put a lot of emphasis on the unity of the family. In the cities, the park are
often crowed with families spending their time together. They are lots of nice,
clean parks for people to spend their time in.

time watching television.

The Japanese
love to take part in sports in their free time. Baseball, golf and martial arts
such as judo and karate are specially popular with men. Most students do not
have much free time but during their holidays they join English clubs or arts
clubs. They also love skate boarding which involves riding on a flat piece of
wood that has wheels under it. A lot of practice is needed to keep your balance
on the board as it moves.
In Canada
recreational activities can be divided into two types: summer and winter
activities. Canada is very cold country with snow everywhere in winter. Skiing
is, therefore, a popular sport at that time and involves going down mountain
slopes on a pair of skis. Snow boarding, which is very much like skateboarding,
is also a favorite sport. The only
difference between the two is that snow boarding is done on snow while
skateboarding is done on concrete. In summer people love to go fishing, boating
and swimming in places where there are large lakes or sea beaches. In other
places golf and tennis are quite popular. Many people also go hunting, hiking,
camping or bird watching.
Hiking involves going for a very long walks in the mountains or in the countryside. For camping people go , sometimes with their families to spend a few days in the mountains or open space away from the city. Camping sites usually provide facilities for food, sanitation and emergency medical services.

For the
Germans, leisure has become a major pursuits. Formally, Germans used to work
ten hours and six days a week and had very little time to relax. But in moderns
times working hours in Germany have become shorter stretching over five days.
People, therefore have more time to spare now. They are so interested in
spending their free time effectively that there is ever a German leisure association
that conducts research on leisure activities. The German love to travel and
almost half of all adults in Germany have made a trip outside the country just for
pleasure and relaxation. There are also many sports centers where young people
go for physical exercise. Going to dance clubs or for long drive are other
popular pastimes. Hiking, walking or travelling are also some of the more
common leisure activities there.
