We all have a lot to do. At home, at school, at work. And it is great to have some free time and spend it according to (согласно, в соответствии с) your interests refreshing the mind (освежая мысли). Happily (к счастью), nowadays (в наше время) we have a lot of opportunities (возможность).
We can:

I should (мне следует) say that the way you spend (то, как ты проводишь) your free time, the hobby you have can tell other people about your character (характер) and personality (личность). It depends on (зависеть от) people’s tastes (вкусы) and character. I will add (добавить) that I am sure (уверен) that any (любой) activity is much better than doing nothing.
