0:37

let's talk about how much free time

0:41

people have most children have

0:44

more free time than adults

0:47

when you're a kid you don't have the

0:51

responsibilities

0:52

that an adult has adults have to work

0:56

pay the bills and take care of their

0:59

children

1:00

kids usually don't have to do these

1:03

things

1:04

kids usually have to go to school

1:07

and do homework this can be difficult

1:11

but it's usually not that difficult

1:14

so children have more free time

1:17

when i was a kid i had a lot of free

1:21

time

1:22

i got home from school around 2

1:25

or 3 p.m and after that

1:28

i played a lot on weekdays

1:32

from monday to friday i probably

1:35

had around four or five hours of free

1:39

time

1:40

each day sometimes i got bored

1:43

because i had so much free time

1:46

but as i got older i had more homework

1:50

each year so each year i had

1:54

a little less free time i didn't have

1:57

too much homework though in the us

2:00

we don't get that much homework in some

2:03

other countries children have a lot of

2:06

homework

2:07

i'm glad that my school work wasn't

2:10

very hard on weekends i had

2:14

even more free time on saturday

2:17

2:21

weekends were the best because i had

2:24

all day to play and rest i really liked

2:28

weekends and i still do now that i'm an

2:32

adult

2:33

i don't have a lot of free time i have

2:36

to work

2:37

and do many other things i usually

2:41

start working early like at 7 00 am

2:44

or 7 30 am so

2:48

i have to wake up around 6am

2:51

when i was a kid i slept more

2:55

i usually slept for eight hours every

2:58

night

2:59

as an adult i don't sleep eight hours

3:02

every night i

3:04

usually get seven hours or seven and a

3:07

half

3:08
