Read Isham’s blog about free time and answer the questions which follow.

Soy bastante deportista. Soy miembro de un equipo de fĂştbol en mi instituto y voy al gimnasio dos o tres veces por semana.

Durante las vacaciones de invierno me gusta practicar esquĂ­ y en verano cuando vamos a la costa, me encanta nadar y hacer windsurf.

El deporte es importante para mĂ­ porque es bueno para la salud y es una manera de relajarme.

Por el contrario, detesto el crĂ­quet porque no entiendo las reglas.
