Pastimes (German Oral)
From ZuluNotes - Free Leaving Cert Notes
What do you do in your free time? Are you a member of any clubs? What are your main interests? Do you play any sports? You need to be able to write and talk in detail about what you do in your free time.
Computers and mobile phones have become part of our everyday lives. Be able to discuss their advantages and disadvantages. If you feel you have nothing worth talking or writing about, then invent a new hobby or interest for yourself, but make sure you have something that you are ready to discuss on the day.
Remember that your leisure activities and your hobbies are topics, which you should be ready to cover both in the oral exam and in the letter section of the written exam.
