Ben
When I left school five years ago, I said to myself, “That’s
that! No more learning for me．Now I can
enjoy myself in the evening．” But about a year ago
the boss said, “We’re going to get a computer in the near future．” What does he mean? I simply don’t know．Anyway, I decided to go to evening classes．I’m quite an expert(專(zhuān)家) on
computers now and you know, I actually enjoy studying．
Eve
I haven’t muc
h
interest in studying．To be honest, I don’t like reading very
much, except for magazines and that sort of thing．Just
reading, that is, to kill the time．But I do
enjoy watching TV．Not that I watch everything．In fact, I choose my programmes very carefully．I’m particularly interested in current affairs(時(shí)事)．In some ways I think I
learn more in this way than I did at school．
Ted
I’m a very different sort of person－I simply love doing things．That’s why I enjoy sports so much．I mean, actually playing．I
hardly ever watch it on TV, but I do read quite a bit about it．I’m even interested in the history of sports．I don’t have much time for anything else, except that
I quite like dancing．Some people say I’m not very good at it,
though．
Joan
I should say I have great interest in studying．I’d rather do this than anything else．Since I left school．I’ve taken
courses in all sorts of things．I go to the city library
once a week, but I much prefer evening classes because it’s more fun that way．My latest “craze（狂熱）”－if you can call it that －is
foreign languages．I’m learning two, not one!
