If you can t have a good time without spending a lot of money, then you can do some reading .A few minutes of newspaper-scanning would give you some pleasant surprises. “People” may be the most interesting show in a large city. Walk around busy streets and see what everybody else is doing. You will probably see people from all over the world; you will certainly see people of every age, size, and shape; and youll get a free fashion show too. Window-shopping is also a safe sport-if the stores are closed. Check your neighbourhood papers. Local schools or colleges often welcome the public to hear an interesting lecture or a good debate. The film or concert series at the local public library probably wont cost you a penny. Be sure to check commercial(商业) advertisement too. A supermarket can provide hours of pleasant browsing(浏览). Perhaps you can find a free cooking in a department store. Try not to take activities during busy times. It is always more pleasant not to have people in front of you in a museum or at a zoo. And you may save some money too, since these places often set one or two free admission (免费入场)days at slow times during the week. If you feel like taking an interesting walk, find a free walking tour or plan one yourself. Pretend that you are a tourist from time to time, and get to know your city all over again including the must-visit sights that people travel miles to see .You will see your city in a new way once you know more about its history or its treasures.
