However, as we wake up and go to bed, we always worry on things that we are supposed 
to do and accomplish. We hardly have time for ourselves. That is why, during free time, 
some people prefer not to make any plans. They would like to spend it to relax, forget 
about everything and enjoy the beauty of letting life and time pass them. Letting their 
mind relax and getting rid of all their worries, it allows them to appreciate things they do 
not normally see or value: spending time with their loved ones, doing nothing, seeing their 
children play with themselves, watching TV, appreciating the beauty of flowers blooming, 
watching the birds soar high, exchanging pleasantries with their neighbors, playing with 
their dogs, and being thankful for all their blessings. These things do not need planning at 
all, but these simple activities are the ones that give most people their greatest pleasure.
In summary, some people prefer to plan their activities carefully for their free time because 
they want to make the most out of it. Others prefer not to plan anything at all because free 
time is the time to reflect and enjoy life as it is, I could not agree more. 
 
118) People learn in different ways. Some people learn by doing things; other people 
learn by reading about things; others learn by listening to people talk about things. 
Which of these methods of learning is best for you? Use specific examples to support 
your choice. 
 
It may sound strange but my personal approach to learning things is a combination of 
learning by doing, by reading about things and listening to people talking about them. I 
consider that using all three ways (when given the opportunity) is the best way to gather as 
much information as possible about the respective thing.
Sometimes I do not have at hand all three ways of learning so I use whatever is best 
applicable for that specific case. If, for example, I have to learn about a theoretical subject 
that I need to use at my work, first I read all available bibliography on that theme, then I 
try to listen to other people’s opinion on that matter. Combining the two methods, I 
compare my understanding and possible questions regarding that theme with others 
comments and approach.
Another case would be when I have to learn a practical thing like playing squash. In this 
situation the most preferred way to learn is by doing. I would probably ask a trainer to 
show me how to play. After getting acquainted with the movements I may listen to others 
talking about their way of playing, in this way trying to use their tips and tricks of 
becoming a better player. 
A case, in which I would combine all three ways mentioned above, is if I have to learn 
how to use software. Firstly I read instructions and documentation that comes with the 
software, and then I try to apply what I read. If I have difficulties getting the program to 
work properly, I ask people with more experience in the matter to show me how to do it,
