  B:I am interested in watching TV or other relaxing games.

  A:How do you spend your spare time?

  B:I usually read or so some sports.

  A:What kind of book are you interested in?

  B:My favorite books are those about detectives.

  A:Well, those books are really good. I like them too. Do you think you are introverted or extroverted?

  B:In fact, I wouldn't call myself extroverted. Sometime I enjoy being by myself very much. But other times, I like sharing activities with others too, especially during these last few years.

  A:What kind of sports do you like?

  B:I like almost all sports, and I enjoy both playing and watching. I especially like tennis and mountain climbing.

  A:What kind of personality do you think you have?

  B:Well, I approach things very enthusiastically, I think, and I don't like to leave anything half-done. It makes me nervous- I can't concentrate on anything else until the first thing is finished.

  Background:

  个人的兴趣爱好其实主要体现在业余活动上,对于刚入社会的学生来说,业余活动主要就是课外活动。

  课外活动包括社会活动和业余爱好。

  丰富多彩的课外活动表示你希望丰富自己的社会经验,发挥多方面的才能。通过你所参加的课外活动,可以看出你的交际能力、价格修养、成熟程度和健康状况。比如说你当学生会主席的经历能够表明你人缘好、善处人际关系、有领导才能等。

  因此,如果你曾参加什么课外活动,就如实写出来。这些活动可以帮助雇主了解你,成为有利的条件。课外活动对于刚刚走出校门的朋友来说,是找工作时的一个相当重要的条件。
