In Australia, different people have different ways to have fun. They also have their own ideas about how to pass time.
Most children, about 80%, work hard in school because they have to take lots of exams. After school, they don't want to stay at home reading books any more. Instead, they go out to play.
Some old people get up early in the morning. Then they go to the park to read newspapers. It helps them know what is happening around the world. In the evening, they would like to watch TV at home.
Young people enjoy having relaxing trips on weekends. They go to mountains to have a picnic or go to the forest to camp. They usually start on Friday and spend one or two days outside. On Sunday evening, they start their way back home. Nobody seems to be in a hurry, although a busy week is waiting for them again.
