What John was saying was true. But don't other people feel bad when there is nothing forthem to do, or at least they think there is nothing?Yes, I think so. Usually these people are wasting their time or choose to listen to the radioor watch television.And these people are very happy when friends come to visit them so they can talk aboutthe news or whatever is worth talking about.

Wouldn't it be difficult to say which of these is the better way of spending time?Well, it's hard to say. We are always ready to say that we are doing things the right wayand other people are not.But how can we be sure?It is a good thing that we are all different.

John! Clever people say time is an important thing in our lives.Of course. To do the things we have to do we need time.When there is too little time we cannot do things as well as we want to do them.Yes, but there are people who always know what to do with the time.You are so right.They go for a walk or read a book or make all kinds of things that areuseful or beautiful.Sometimes they sell these things, which is their way ofshowing that time is really money.
