Essay topic: How do you spend your time after school?

As I am now preparing for an important examination which will be held at the end of this year, I spend most of my time reading books. There are, however, a few other things that I sometimes do during my leisure.As soon as I reach home everyday after school, I have lunch quickly in order to have as much time as possible to read books. Eating quickly is not good for health but I have to do to pass my examination. Therefore, the more I am able to read the more certain I can be of passing my examination. It is for this reason that I read books for about two hours after lunch everyday.After reading in the afternoon, I have a bath and then a cup of tea. Having done these things, I go out to my friend’s house near by and discuss our lessons for about an hour. Sometimes we go for a walk and as we do so, we talk mainly about our lessons. My friend is a good student. She explains many of the things that I do not understand clearly in school.Sometimes, however, I remain at home to help my mother in the kitchen, especially when we expect some visitors. I must admit that I enjoy doing the cooking, for it helps me to learn how to prepare a good meal. I have already learned how to make some delicious cakes from helping my mother.Then, I spend some of my time working in our vegetable garden. My parents have planted many kinds of vegetables. I help them to water the plants so that they can grow well.Further, I also spend some time decorating my house when I feel that things in my house have become too dull to look at.At night, I study my lesson again, and go to bed late after dinner. I can say that my time after school is spent in a variety of ways.
