I like to hang out with my friends from time to time. Usually, if we have a lot of time on the weekends, we'll go to the cinema to watch movies, maybe even take our kids along for a fun time. If we don't have much time, we'll just have dinner together at a restaurant. I usually prefer to hang out with one or two close friends. We all live in the same community, so we can get together frequently. Plus, our kids are in the same class at school, so we often hang out together as families.
