2a. Listen, read the extracts from a Leisure time magazine ‘How to avoid boredom’ and match them with pieces of advice.

First of all, boredom is a state of mind (состояние ума). It doesn't happen all the time. You are bored because you don't know what to do with your time, can't find anything interesting to do, or because you don't like what you are doing.

So the simplest solution to (1) avoid boredom is to find something interesting to do. There must be several things that you enjoy doing or would like to try, either alone or with a friend. Ask yourself what they are and list all of them. After you've done it, choose one from your list, and do it. Are you still bored?

1. If your home is in a mess (в беспорядке), your mind and your emotions are in a mess too.

2. You can invite your friends or family to share your new dish with. They might be pleasantly surprised.

3. You can decide on making candles, knitting, embroidering, that might help you (2) pass [pɑːs] your leisure time in a pleasant way and (3) create [kriˈeit] something you can (4) be proud of.

7. Whenever you are free, read something exciting, encouraging, or anything that will entertain and enrich your knowledge.

8. Watch your favourite television shows or films. They can both entertain and enrich your mind and emotions.

9. Go to a leisure centre. These places provide (обеспечивают) instructors and equipment for different activities like dancing, yoga, aerobics, and many more which can make you feel happy and keep fit.

10. You can go to the cinema, have a picnic, drive to the beach or do anything else under the sky together with a friend.

11. Write down all things that you want to have, do or become. Don't think of whether you can achieve (достичь) them or have them or not. Just keep writing. See what happens.
