Leisure time is free from work, study, household duties. The ways people spend their leisure time normally differ according to the age group: middle-aged and elderly people normally prefer watching TV or going to the theatre, or sometimes gardening, younger people enjoy more active pastimes like doing extreme sports, visiting discos or travelling.

However, the idea of doing sports or travelling is becoming popular with the older people. Teenagers normally prefer to do extreme sports with speed, height and danger. They wish to take themselves to the limits of their physical ability and fear, such as climbing, whitewater rafting, surfing, windsurfing and many others. Their tastes in music are associated with youth subcultures, such as hard rock, hip hop, punk rock. They normally like action films, comedies, musicals, thrillers and cartoons. Sometimes the ways young people spend their free time depend on national traditions. For example, in the USA teenagers play sport games which are originated in America. These games are baseball, snowboarding and skateboarding.

British youngsters are really fond of watching and taking part in football matches and sorts of races such as horseracing, boatracing and even dogracing, as well as playing football, rugby and golf. They are really fond of pets and often spend some time in the evening taking their dog for a walk.
