Q1. Do you often have free time?
核心表达
Not really｜其实不太有（比直接 no 更自然，不生硬）
my schedule is pretty packed｜我的日程特别满（packed＝装得很满）
juggle quite a few things｜兼顾很多事情（juggle＝同时处理好几件事）
internships, postgraduate applications, and IELTS preparation｜实习、研究生申请、雅思备考
proper downtime｜真正的放松时间（downtime＝休息时间；proper＝真正的、像样的）
get a bit of free time｜有一点空闲时间
范例答案 Not really, to be honest. My schedule has been pretty packed lately because I am juggling quite a few things at the same time, like internships, postgraduate applications, and IELTS preparation. So most of the time, it feels like there is barely any room left for proper downtime. Even when I do get a bit of free time, I usually end up thinking about the next thing I need to finish.
Q2. What do you usually do in your spare time?
核心表达
do things that help me unwind｜做一些能让我放松的事情（unwind＝从压力里缓过来）
stay at home｜待在家里
play the piano｜弹钢琴（乐器前通常加 the）
watch films｜看电影
go hiking｜去徒步
clear my head｜清空思绪、让脑子清醒一点
enjoy some fresh air｜呼吸新鲜空气
recharge both mentally and physically｜身心都恢复状态（mentally 精神上；physically 身体上）
范例答案 I usually do things that help me unwind a bit. Sometimes I stay at home and play the piano or watch films, and other times I will go hiking to clear my head and enjoy some fresh air. I feel like those activities help me recharge both mentally and physically. After spending time outdoors for a while, I usually feel much less stressed and more refreshed.
Q3. Which day do you have more free time on, Saturday or Sunday?
核心表达
Probably Saturday｜应该是星期六（probably 语气不绝对）
after a busy week｜忙碌一周之后
the first real chance to relax｜真正可以放松的第一个机会（real 强调"真正的"）
by Sunday｜到了星期日（by＝到某个时间点）
think ahead｜提前考虑
switch off mentally｜精神上放空（switch off＝让大脑停下来，不是关机器）
anxious｜焦虑的
Monday is just around the corner｜周一马上就要到了（around the corner＝即将到来）
范例答案 Probably Saturday, because it feels like the first real chance to relax after a busy week. By Sunday, though, I usually start thinking ahead and preparing for the upcoming week, so it is hard to fully switch off mentally. Sometimes I even feel a bit anxious on Sunday evenings because I know Monday is just around the corner.
Q4. Would you like to have more free time in the future?
核心表达
Absolutely｜当然想（比 yes 更有态度）
I genuinely think｜我真心觉得（genuinely＝真心地、真正地）
life is about more than just work or study｜人生不只是工作或学习
having more free time would allow me to...｜有更多空闲时间会让我能够……
explore new experiences｜体验更多新鲜事物（explore＝探索）
travel more｜多旅行
spend time on hobbies｜把时间花在兴趣爱好上
make life feel more fulfilling｜让生活感觉更充实（fulfilling＝有满足感的）
slow down｜慢下来
constantly rushing from one task to another｜不停地从一个任务赶到另一个任务（constantly＝不停地）
范例答案 Absolutely. I genuinely think life is about more than just work or study. Having more free time would allow me to explore new experiences, travel more, and spend time on hobbies that make life feel more fulfilling. I would also love to have more time to slow down and enjoy everyday life instead of constantly rushing from one task to another.
