<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Answer
I prefer to spend my free time with lots of other people and
my friends. I think this is because I was raised around lots
of people, and all my life I have lived in a home with many
people, gone to school with many people, worked with many
people. I am used to always being around people. It is just
natural for me to—when I have free time—want to spend it
with lots of other people. If I find myself alone, sometimes
it is a little strange…with the quiet and all. I feel a
little lonely if there are not tons of other people around
me. You can also have a lot more fun if you have a lot of
people around you. Can you play a game of soccer with only
one person?
