Leisures: a comparative studyfrom the 40s up to nowby Corinna Gerst, GERMANY

To nd out how free time used to be spent and how it is spent today I made an interview with different people frodifferent generations. First of all, there are my grandparents, who are 70 and 75 years old. In the same way, I interviewthe next generation, my parents, who are both 44 years old. Afterwards I asked some adolescents for their opinions, an

My grandma did not have many things to play with, like we havetoday; she just had one doll. This is because of the Second World War. Mygrandma and her parents had to flee from the attacks and bombs. When they arrived in our county of Bentheim (Laar) they lived in a barn of afarmer. There were animals to play with and to fondle. On top of the doll shehad not had any toys. She had to search for things to do outside. In the 40smy grandma played many different ball games, did rope skipping and theso-called Hinkekstchen . For my grandpa, who had always lived in thisarea, things were pretty much the same.

In 1958 they got to know each other and fell in love. Together theymade bike rides, swam in streams or went on holiday, where they likedhiking very much. One time they went to Munich by train; they startedat 06:15 am and arrived at 10:15 pm (they have a really good memory),so it was a 16- hour-journey. Today the same journey only takes 8 hours.Definitely, those were other times!

Pastimes in the old days: three accounts

By Cliane Romany and Mathias Pancrate, MARTINIQUE

I interviewed Mrs Solange PERNOCK (married name RANSAY),nicknamed Manman Doudou, who is 102 years old.She enthusiastically told me how people had fun in the 40s and60s. She liked gardening, going to the market and sewing betterthan parties and cock ghts which were the usual ways of amusingoneself at the time.Then she said that she preferred life in the past because, in heropinion, [it] was easier, people were more responsible andpastimes were healthier .

In her childhood my grandmother used to sew a lot. She madedresses for herself and for her dolls.Outside the house she had other activities. Indeed, she liked to goshing with her friends. She said that the boys played with hoopsin the street and they played football too. Theymade their toys themselves.

She remembers that boys played more than girls.Mathias Pancrate, 3me, interviewing hisgrandmother.

INTERViEW with Dr Pierre Aliker,102 years old, a strong gure in Martinique.

When you look at the world today what thoughts come to your mind?I can only say that parents are giving up. Martinican teenagers are going off course.

What do you think of todays pastimes?Todays pastimes are more varied andattractive.

How did you have fun in Martinique inthe 40s and 60s, without television,the Internet and videogames?We had fun in very simple ways. Weplayed the sports offered on theSavane in Fort de France which was

then THE meeting place for youngpeople.

In your opinion, in which era didthey have a better time: in the1940s-1960s or now?In my opinion, playing was muchhealthier in my time; therefore I stickto my rst statement: it was healthierand more fun before.

The Communist socialist party.

School TripsThe last month of the school yearwas a trip time. If students workedhard all year according to ideology ofthe socialism they could go for a tripwith their class teacher usually forone, or two days.These trips were oriented to knowour beautiful socialist country:Sightseeing old castles, palaces,ruins, monuments, manor houses,hiking and camping in nature.

Discussion Forum

Hi! A friend of mine was joking the other day and told me : how couldthey possibly have fun without the internet, msn, blogs, playstationsand all the new technologies?

Well, I think WHEN you were born doesnt determine whether you havemore fun than the other generations or not. To me, how much fun youhave probably depends on how creative you can be or on how fun thepeople around you are.So maybe a more relevant question could be: Are we satisfed withwhat we do in our free time? Or are we on the lookout for somethingspecial that we dont have?

As to whether my grandmother was happier than me in her free time? Ireally couldnt say!!! I didnt live her life!

What do you think? Let me know? REPLY TO THIS.

A MOVIE AFTERNOON IN THE 50sduring the dictatorship

Jlia Gomis Cos 3r B, CATALONIA

My grandfather lived in Reus, but not in a rich neighborhood. Young people did nhave much money to buy toys but they had lots of imagination. They used to plawith pieces of wood they found in the streets and they made balls out of newspaper

They used to play in the streets a lot more than now. They didnt have consolesor computers and they rarely went to the cinema. When they went to the movies

they used to sit at the back upstairs and tused to buy pop corn. Downstairs, in the aren

were the ones who could pay some more money.Then, my grandfathers friends

would throw pop corn down to the rich sittindownstairs and when the usher went upstairs

to see what was going on, they would pret they were good boys. Thats the way the

to spend their time till the end of the film.

In some scenes, mainly when there werhorses in westerns, they started to stamp

their feet on the floor and whistle and the other people complained. When there waa kiss scene, since there was censorship, they would cut the scene and the next onhad nothing to do with the one where the actors were about to kiss. And then mygrandfathers bunch used to whistle and hit the floor. But this time, the people in

arena would whistle again, though on the sly.They didnt lack imagination and were all like little angels.

Nowadays young people only thinkof computers, play stations and not

studying or making the minimaleffort and this is all because of thenew technologies, which make us

use them all the time instead ofdoing what we have to do at our

age, which is studying and playing orhaving fun with responsibility.Sara Acosta 3r ESO B Catalonia

Now kids dont have so much funthan the ones in the past, becausenow they cant play in the streets

and they spend too much time usingelectronic devices: play station,computer, TV, mobile phones, Children shouldnt have so many

electronic devices and should go outand play in the streets, then, they

would have more relation with otherpeople and would have as much fun

as our grandparents.Judith Fraile 3r ESO B Catalonia

Nowadays kids do less exercisebecause we dont play in the streets.However, we need to point out that

there are children in the worldwho dont have toys or friends orchildhood. We can not complain.

Cristina Gonzlez 3r ESO B

Today kids have got everything theywant but they dont know how to

have fun. There is always somethingthey want, which they dont have.

In my opinion, childhood in the pastwas more original than nowadays.

Cristina Prez 3r ESO B Catalonia

Boys and girls

Zornitsa Vladimirova Donova 3 ESO B

When my grandparents were my age, they didnt have many options toamuse themselves. Boys and girls lived very different kind of lives.

My grandmother told me she used to go for a walk from one side of htown to the other because there were no discos, coffee shops, bars o

theme parks and this was one of the main options to have fun.Once a week they used to go to the school dance. Sometimes they

stayed in at a friends house, but usually girls were separated from boyBoys and girls at that time only used to look at each other. They wer

very shy.In the summer boys used to help their parents at work and girls theimothers at home. They learned how to cook, saw because they ha

to be ready to get married and join their new family.



Philosoph

Toute lhistoire de la pense humaine est centre sur la notion de bonheur. Les grecs lappelaient eudaimonia rchissaient souvent aux moyens appropris pour latteindre. 2500 ans plus tard, nous en sommes toujours au mm

point. Le mot bonheur a plusieurs dnitions et il y a autant dinterprtations que de lecteurs.

Est-il possible dtre heureux ?Les picuriens disaient que plaisir etdouleur forment un quilibre chez lhomme: par nature nous sommes constammentattirs par le bonheur et rejetons ladouleur. Notre socit est hdoniste. Il ya une recherche du plaisir, du bien-tre etmme obligation de samuser. De plus notresocit est une socit de consommation etelle rpond ce besoin naturel en offrantun large catalogue de plaisirs la carte.

Nous ressentons tous le besoin de comblernotre temps libre ainsi et jouissons alorsde la musique, de lamour, du sport, dela nourriture, du sexe, de nos marottes,de la lecture, de lamiti, du cinma, delargent, des voyages, du pouvoir, de lapaix etc Nous passons tous notre temps rechercher des plaisirs censs nous apporterle bonheur. Nous pensons mme que cestune question de quantit : toujours plus,toujours mieux, et dans notre socit deconsommation cest souvent li la notiondargent. Quand on a demand WoodyAllen, clbre ralisateur amricain decinma sil prfrait largent ou le bonheur,il a rpondu avec son humour subtil et pessimiste : Je prfre largent, car la plupart des choses qui me rendeheureux cotent trs cher. Le bonheur est intrieur et non matriel donc il ne dpend pas de ce que nous possdomais de ce que nous sommes Henry Van Dyke

Le plaisir est-il le bonheur ?John Stuart Mill fait bien la diffrence entre satisfaction (plaisir) et bonheur. Un plaisir combl rpond un besomomentan alors que le bonheur remplit toute une vie. On peut imaginer une vie pleine de moments de plaisirs sapour autant quelle soit heureuse. Etre heureux est un sentiment propre ltre humain sur lequel chacun de noa besoin de travailler personnellement. Cependant tre heureux nest pas ressentir une joie constante mais se senconcern par chaque dtail de notre quotidien, en fonction de lmotion que chaque moment nous apporte, en tant

lcoute de ce qui nous arrive, en ragissant chaque situation en osmose avec ce qui nous entoure. En dautres movivre et apprcier linstant.

Cest pourquoi il est plus adquat de parler de moments heureux, dinstants de plaisir, de bien-tre, de joie ou dsatisfaction. Un moment de bonheur, exprience exceptionnelle est quelque chose que nous provoquons. Les rmoments de joie, riches en srnit et paix intrieure ne sont gnralement pas ds des causes extrieures. L a vie elongue, complexe et varie car il y a aussi place pour le dgot, la mauvaise humeur, les soucis, la douleur, lamour,joie, les plaisirs une liste sans n de sensations, de sentiments et dmotions. Oublions la notion abstraite de bonhe

et concentrons-nous sur linstant. Vivre chaque moment comme sil tait ternel. Nietszche.Enn quand je pense au bonheur, la premire image qui me vient lesprit est celle dun enfant prenant du plaisirjouer. Peut-tre sommes-nous vraiment heureux lorsque nous ne pensons pas au bonheur et que nous cessons de lt

ds que nous le recherchons.SOYEZ HEUREUX !

Le bonheur nest pas obtenir ce que lon veut mais vouloir ce que lon a

COLLECTING DICTIONARIES IES Baix Camp, Reus, Catalonia

What?Dictionaries collectingand languages studying

Who?Ariadna, student

Why? Because it is veryimportant to learn languages.It helps you to improve yourability to remember. Andwhats more, it helps you tomeet and speak with peoplefrom all over the world usingtheir own language. When I wassmall my marks of languages at school, were really good. When I was 11 yearsold I decided to start studying more languages such as Japanese and Russian.I had a Russian friend, so she taught me, but I started to study Japanese onmy own only with a dictionary. Then I could only learn vocabulary, but not

grammar. Later, when I was 13 years old, I had 4 books about Japanese, so Icould study it, but also without help. I know also Chinese, because my Chinesefriends teach me and I teach them Catalan and Spanish. I can speak Greek,Egyptian and Italian.Now I am 14 but when I will be thirty I will know 15 languages or more! It is hard,but never impossible. One thing is clear: I will never stop studying languages.

How long? since I was a child

How much money? I have 14 dictionaries, but for me it is not enough, I willkeep buying more dictionaries!



Unusual hobbies2 Interviews about hobbies, Holland

Marly Warnier Top ModelWe were able to interview 2 students atour school. These 2 students are bothvery different, but are both specialin their own ways. First I will tell yousomething about Maryl Warnier, a 14year old model. When Maryl was 13she decided she wanted to becomea model, so she found a model ofcewhere she could sign herself in. Shegot an assignment right away for theCosmo Girl (a girls magazine) and afterthat went to Paris. She regularly doesmodelling assignments and also wantsto carry on modelling for her job later.Models like Marly also watch HollandsNext Top Model (HNTP) and she says that

HNTP depends on the watching gures.By a real model they also look at thelength of the model, the thickness ofthe lips and how the model presentshis/herself.

Joas Muilwijk Wheelchair Hockey

The other student we

interviewed was Joas Muilwijk.Joas is also 14 years old andplays wheelchair hockey. Joaswas born with a muscle illnessand since his 8th birthday hessat in a wheelchair. He trainsonce in the week and to train hehas to travel 40km to get there.Because there arent very manywheelchair hockey players theyonly have matches 3 or 4 timesin a year. A difference betweenhockey and wheelchair hockey

is that if you play wheelchairhockey you play with a balland not with a puck. A wheelchair hockey team also only has 4 players. Thewheelchair does most of the work for them so that it isnt too exhausting.

Joas doesnt want to become a professional wheelchair hockey player later,but wants to study law. Hes also a member of the MUN (Model United Nations).Model United Nations is an academic simulation of the United Nations that aimsto educate participants about civics, effective communication, globalizationand multilateral diplomacy. In MUC, students take one roles as diplomats andinvestigate international issues, debate, deliberate, consult and then developsolutions to world problems.

My weekend is always full ofappointments.Usually the biggest three points areworking, football and partying.On Friday evening I often hang outwith my friends and go to parties weorganized by ourselves. Then we have acouple of drinks, party and if the partyends we go to the next one.Saturday is mostly the day to work forme so I work till evening and after thatI go to bed or to other parties andmeet my friends.

Often my football games are alsoon Saturdays so I have to work on Friday or Sunday. On thesedays I often spend much time in my bed watching television orsomething like that. After that I change into my football clothes.After the match we hang around with the team, sometimes wehave lunch together at a fast food restaurant.On Sunday I am usually at home watch TV or do some things forschool. Its a very boring day and I have the cruel premonition ofhaving to sit in school, early in the next morning.Mainly I have a lot of free time on the weekend and I dont havemuch obligations I have to meet.

LISTEN TO MUSIC IN MARTINIQUE

from hip hop to traditional music

Translated into English byAyla Mongs, Johnny Bedot and the 3me2

Other types of music and traditional dances are Biguine, danced bycouples, with its lively rhythm and Mazurka, a dance that alternates live

and languorous rhythms.Our grandparents loved traditional music but we prefer Zouk and DanceHal

which are more modern.

If you want to listen to some extracts, you will be able to do so on the weversion of G@t it.

Although we listen to a lot of music from all around the world(reggae, salsa, Hip Hop, RnB and Rap), Martiniques musical

tradition is strong and offers great variety.

This area of Martinique Sainte Marie - is Bl musterritory. In Bl, drum

ti-bwa (a bamboo cane thyou strike with sticks made guava) and the strong voiof a singer give the rhythm boisterous dancers.



Music

MUSIC AT OUR SCHOOLS

We love music... AL!Performing famous musicals, ITALY

We dont have a school band or a music room but music plays an importantrole in our extra-curricular activities.....Singing, dancing and acting are the

ways we use to communicate our emotions, feelings and to let our bodyspeakand all these art expressions are enclosed in a MUSICAL performance.At the beginnings it was hard to set up a group and to create a friendly

atmosphere but then the things went better and we had a great success!Since 2003 we have been performing famous musicals such as NOTRE DAME

DE PARIS; JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR , ROMEO AND JULIET or comedies as TheIMPORTANCE OF BEING ERNEST or music comedies as THE SOUNDS OF MUSIC!We won some awards we are very proud of or work! In our Group everybody

participates according his own attitudes who loves singingwho lovesdancing.. who prefers to create the scenes or mix the music.. or who has good

manual abilities and works with hammers and nails.. We have some CDs orDVDs of our works and we hope well see them together a day!

Press conference

How did you start in the world ofjournalism?As a journalist I started working forthe local press when I was 18 andas a speaker in races 15 years ago.When I was a kid I liked motorbikes.Later, I realized I was quite good atwriting and I ended up as a motorjournalist. Now Im a freelance. I doa very important part of my job in the

magazine Solo Moto Off Road, but Ialso work for the Spanish newspaperLa Vanguardia and other media.

What do you like the most and theleast?What I like the least is that sometimesmy ideas do not match the one ofthe magazine manager. Magazineseconomically depend on publicity,and you can not critize the brands.In general, what I like the most are

chronicles, because in them youdont exactly report the facts, butyou can also give it a personal vision.Interviews are also very interestingwhen they are like a conversation. Iknow most of the pilots and we talk,and later the interview has nothing todo with what I had prepared before.

Which famous pilots do you know?

Some of them are my friends, likeMarc Coma (2009 Dakar winner) andIvn Cervantes (2007 World Endurochampion). I have known themfor 15 years. I have also met NaniRoma, Isidre Esteve, Dani Pedrosa,Toni Elas, Joan Oliv, Marc Mrquezand Pere Tutusaus. In Enduro I knoweverybody. In rallies I have met somepeople who inuenced me a lot, likeel Fabrizio Meoni, who won the Dakartwice and unfortunately died in 2005.

Which category do you prefer? I lall categories, but the one I preferenduro, because it is the one wheI work as a speaker more often anhave lots of friends.

Which countries have you visitbecause of your job? In EuropItaly, France, Germany, Great BritaGreece, Andorra, Spain and Portug

In America, Argentina, Brazil, U.S.Mexico and Ecuador. In the Dakavisited Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt, MaMauritania, Libya, Burkina Faso aSenegal.

What woul you highlight of tDakar rally?A part from the competition, whichexciting and the cooperation amopilots although they are rivals,would point out the work of t

foundation Dakar Solidario, whichdevotes itself to humanitarian tasks,like, for example, delivering learningmaterials and medical supplies in thecountries where the race takes place.

Can you tell us an anecdote fromthe Dakar rally?Yes. For example, people set theirtents under the planes because it isbetter to sleep on the road than onstones. But you need to choose agood place and it is better to followthe advice of people who know. Ajournalist, who is very arrogant,didnt want to listen to anyoneand chose a bad place. Early in themorning the plane took off and his

tent with him inside ew away about800 meters. But worst of all is thatthe next day because he wouldntlisten it happened again.

Have you ever taken part in amotorbike race?Ive taken part in one in my life, butI was so bad I wouldnt do it again.Keep it a secret, but I think I am toocautious.

We have heard you are a greshowman.Me? No. Im a bit of a clown. Everybolikes having attention, above all whyou are doing what you like. The tru

is I am very shy. Getting a microphoand speaking in front of 500 peopleeasier than talking in front of a smgroup of people face to face.

Finally, would you say you work you have fun in your job?I have fun and I get paid. I really haa good time.

I have fun and I getpaid. I really have a good

time.



Missing Equadorwith 5 senses

Getting to know...

Free time around the GLOBE

Travel with us to get to know how children and teens spend their free timein different cultures and countries from every continent

My name is Junior Alexander MeroRoca. I am 13 and I come from Manta,a town on the east coast of Ecuador.

SchooltimetableBoys and girls in Ecuador go to schoolMonday to Friday. Classes start at7.30 a.m. and nish at 1 p.m. Theyhave 6 classes of 45 minutes a day.On Monday before classes start,it is typical for students to form asilent line and then sing the nationalanthem. Breaks last 45 minutes,

from 9.30 to 10.15 and students havebreakfast, play football, basketball,etc. After 1 p.m. students have freetime. After having lunch at homethey usually watch TV for a while,American series, soap operas

My free time in MantaWhen lived in Manta, I used to watchTV till 4 and then do my homework.Around 5 I used to go out and playfootball in the street with my friends.

At 6 we had dinner and stayed in.At weekends I used to meet myfriends and go to the beach or to afriends house.

My free time in SpainSince I live here in Reus I spend moretime in front of the computer, playinggames, chatting, surng the net, etc.than in the open air. When I lived inmy country I didnt use to spend somuch time on the computer.

Feelings and impressionsIn general, people look happier therethan here. It seems they enjoy life ina different way. I have been living inEurope for 6 months now and I likeit. In fact, I would like to stay herefor good and just go back to Ecuadoron vacation in the summer. However,I miss everything from my country:family, friends, typical food, thebeach, peoples happiness and lifeon the streets. I dont miss schoolso much because in IES Baix Camp

everybody makes me feel at home.

Here everybody makesme feel like at home

other culture

Hello! In this interview we want to exchange some opinions with a classmateof ours. He is Amin Asseffa. He is 18, he was born in Italy but his family is from

Morocco.

We- Amin, were working onproject with other Europeanpartners and now were writinga topic about the differencesbetween our culture and otherones and wed like to interviewyou about this topic. Where wereyou born?Amin- I was born here but Ive beenliving between Morocco and Italy.

We- Are there any similarities

between these two countries?Amin- No, not for politics nortraditions.

We- Tell us about one maindifference in traditions, costumesand habits?Amin- One main difference arewedding ceremonies. In Moroccoit lasts seven days! The rst day isreserved for the brides family, thesecond for the husbands and thethird, which begins at 7 pm and ends

at dawn, is opened to all the guests. The fth day husband and wife go on anEgyptian carriage and take a tour along the streets of the city. The sixth daybegins at 9 pm and is dedicated to couples privacy. Finally, the seventh day allthe guests give the couple their gifts.

We-And as education system?Amin- The school system is very hard, like the French system, the lessons startat 8 and end at 6 p.m. Students wear uniforms. Religion and physical educationare considered the most important subjects.

We-How do you spend your free time in Morocco? Do you miss your oldhabits? What do young people like in your country?

Amin- Young people go to pubs and clubs like most young Italians while theelders live closer to our traditions. On Monday we go to the sauna! we oftengather celebrating with tambourines and we dance and act ironically real factsand discuss about politics and eventual marriages cause they are brought byparents. Every afternoon at 16:00 we drink our typical tea with mint and onFriday at 11:00 we go to the Mecca and to the cemetery dressed in white. Wecook the cous-cous a typical dish, giving two dishes to the Mecca, to beggarsand to prisoners.In Italy we try to imitate the Arabic tradition but we do not often meet excepton Sundays. I miss the habits I have in Morocco because there we have moreopportunities to stay together while in Italy I live in a different way but at thesame time when Im in Morocco I long for Italy.

Free Timein Canada

BY Magdalena Hlsmeyer

In this article I want to report about h

free time is spent in Canada. I livin this country for about ve monwhen I took part in an internatiohigh school program. Thereforestayed there with a host family aclosely witnessed everyday life a

free time of Canadians.

My host parents were very close nature and consequently they speas much time as they could outsidThey went for long walks or hikesthe sea, jogged early in the mornor went by bike to work. My host mhad an extraordinary hobby that whot yoga. There you do yoga in a hroom. It is nothing for everybobut for her it was pure relaxatioMoreover she went to guitar lessoonce a week and often sang to hguitar playing at home. That was ni

to listen to.

I myself did ballroom dancing at school. It was very entertaining sin

you moved your body but could achat with your partner at the samtime. I really loved to go there ona week. Furthermore, I played tkeyboard at home which my hofamily made available for me. At tweekends I met my friends and d

different activities with them.

In school there are offered lots different sports like basketbatennis or hockey and almost eve

student I knew was active in a spoteam. I had the feeling that it is veimportant and also an honour the students to play for their schoin competitions and to ensure ththe school appears in a good light

means of a win.

To conclude, I can say that free tiis a very important part of life

Canada and is very varied.
