Personal writing – WJECComparing active interests with lazy interests

You already know how to say what you enjoy doing in your leisure time using Dw i’n mwynhau, Dw i wrth fy modd and Dw i’n hoffi but sometimes it’s useful to say which activities you should do in order to live a healthier lifestyle, eg

Dylwn i gerdded mwy. – I should walk more.

Dylwn i redeg bob wythnos. – I should run every week.

Sioned is quite lazy and in her leisure time, she enjoys doing things that aren’t very active. Read what she likes doing:

• Dw i'n mwynhau gwylio'r teledu. – I enjoy watching the television.
• Dw i'n hoffi gwrando ar gerddoriaeth yn fy ystafell wely. – I like listening to music in my bedroom.
• Dw i wrth fy modd yn chwarae gemau ar y cyfrifiadur. – I love playing games on the computer.
• Dw i'n mwynhau mynd ar wefannau cymdeithasol i siarad gyda ffrindiau. – I love going on social media to talk to friends.

Look at the following poster advertising the opening of a new leisure centre. Aled Siôn Davies, who won two medals at the London Paralympic Games in 2012 and one medal at the Commonwealth Games in 2014, will be there as a guest speaker for the official opening.

Sioned was at the official opening and she started to think about what she should be doing to be more active. She says:

Dw i'n mwynhau gwylio'r teledu ond dylwn i chwarae badminton yn lle. – I enjoy watching television but I should play badminton instead.

Exercise

Write about what you like to do in your leisure time and say what you should do to be more active.
