The first question:

What do you think of your current schedule as a student?

To discuss about this questions, you can ask each other some extra questions:

Do you like your schedule at school?

The second question

Do students have enough time to relax?

Are you busy in this time?

-Yes, of course. I am having a final exam.

How do you think about the time to relax of students?

Are students are too busy to relax? / >>>>>Do students have enough time to relax?

-In my mind, because students can subscribe their subjects and time to learn all those subjects at university, they can arrange their time reasonably to relax after school

-Moreover, students do not have go to school all days in a week. Therefore, they are free on weekend. They can do anything to feel comfortable such as listening to music, watching films, playing sports.

-However, at the time they are having a lot of tests in class or a final exam like this, they maybe very stressful because of studying hard to get good results in the exam. They cannot go out as much as the time they do not have any test.

-In addition, students do not have much time to relax when they are having an exam because they spend most the time for studying.

-They sometimes have a stress and they are tired and exhausted when they have too many homework, exercises and duties.

>>>>>Students can arrange their schedule; therefore, nobody but they decides their time torelax by theirself. In general, they totally have enough time to relax. But when they are having an exam, their freetime can be reduced.They can be more stressed-out at this time.
