1. Rephrase the sentences of the text by using quantifiers. Leisure time

Everybody sometimes has a free time. Somebody prefers only to sleep in their leisure time, but most of us prefer to do a great number of interesting things. It may be reading, various types of sport games, watching TV, listening to music and so on. If we have a few day or a week we prefer to go to the attractive places. Many people think that pupils and student’s have too much leisure time, but in my opinion, they are wrong. We are very busy. Many pupils have six or seven lessons a day and go to school five or six days a week. Even during weekend we learn our lessons. And we just have no time to go somewhere. Oldest of us are working after school or institute. As for me, a large part of my free time is devoted to reading. I like to read books about another countries, another times and another worlds. Also I read books about history of our country. Besides reading I like to do physical exercises. Me and my school friends often gather after school and play basketball, football or other active games. But my favorite hobby is travelling. Usually I travel in summer and often it is a trip to the south, to the warm sea. I think all people must have other occupations besides their basic work, because it extends the bounduries of the familar world and teaches us something new about people and things.

2. Write a short story about how you and your friends spend leisure time. Use quantifiers: all, every, every day, all day, both, either, neither etc.

Short story writing tips:

• Introduction: introduce characters, setting, time, weather, etc.

• Initiating action: the point of a story that starts the rising action.

• Rising action: events leading up to the climax or turning point.

• Climax: the most intense point or turning point of the story.

• Falling action: your story begins to conclude.

• Resolution: a satisfying ending to the story in which the central conflict is resolved—or not! You don't have to write your short story in order. If you have an idea for a great conclusion, write it down. Move backward or forward from your starting idea (it may or may not be the beginning of the story) and ask yourself questions. “What happened before this?”, “What happens next?”
