Hello! My name’s Philip. I’m thirteen years old, and I live in England.

I want to talk about how my friends and I spend our free time. My best friends are Dave and Max. They are in the same class as me.

Teenagers often complain they’re bored and have nothing to do. I can’t understand them. I’m never bored.

If the weather is nice, we go for a walk, or we ride our bikes. We often play football, basketball in the park and when it is rainy, we go to the sports centre. Here we usually play table tennis or go swimming. If you play a musical instrument, it’s a good fun! I play the guitar and practice a lot.

At home, I usually listen to music or read magazines and books. Of course, like other teenagers, I often go on the Internet or play computer games - but not always! It’s a pity that many teenagers live their lives on several public sites like Facebook or Twitter! They had better make real friends!

In the evenings, I sometimes watch TV. I often invite my friends over for dinner or a teacup and play chess or cards. At the weekend we go hiking, fishing or sometimes we go to the cinema. We like comedies.

1. What do Philip and his friends do outside? 2. When do they go to the sports centre?

Exercise 3. Read the text, then decide whether the statements that follow are True (T) or False (F)

In my opinion, using the computer as your hobby can be harmful to both your health and your social life. Firstly, sitting all day in front of the computer can cause health problems such as eye-tiredness and obesity. Secondly, you may get irritated easily. Besides, if you use the computer too much, you will not have time for your family and friends. In short, computers should only be used for a limited time.

III. READING

Exercise 1. Read the passage and choose the best answers.

Many people enjoy living in a big city because they think life is more exciting there. However, I come from a small village and in my view, there are lots of benefits. The main reason I prefer village life is because it’s very quiet, so 1 always feel calm when I’m here. Another reason is that the air is so fresh and clean. We have more green spaces and bigger gardens, too. In addition, I think the people here are friendlier. Personally, I’m interested in wildlife photography, so the countryside is perfect for me.

The only downside is transport. I have an early start for a long journey to school in Faro and the school bus is always stopping to pick up more people. Also, it’s boring sometimes, but I enjoy chatting to my friends. Fortunately, I’m learning to ride a moped. On balance, I disagree that city life is better, as I think my village lifestyle is healthier and more relaxing. In spite of that, some of my friends couldn’t cope with life in the country, so it comes down to personal opinion.

Exercise2.Read the passage, and then decide whether the statements that follow are True (T) or False (F).

Teenagers today live in a very competitive world. It is more important than ever to succeed at school if you hope to have a chance in the job market afterwards. It’s no wonder that many young people worry about letting down their parents, their peers and themselves. To try to please everyone, they take on too many tasks until it becomes harder and harder to balance homework assignments, parties, sports activities and friends. The result is that young people suffer from stress.

There are different ways of dealing with stress. Everyone knows that caffeine, in the form of coffee or soft drinks, keeps you awake and alert. But caffeine is a drug which can become addictive. In the end, like other drugs, caffeine only leads to more stress. There are better ways to deal with stress: physical exercise is a good release for stress, because it increases certain chemicals in the brain which calm you down. You have to get enough sleep to avoid stress and to stay healthy and full of energy.

1. Nowadays, it is important to succeed at school.

2. Many young people take on only some tasks to please everyone.

I was growing up and raised in a small town in the northern part of Thailand before staying in the big city in order to finish high school. My rural town is in the middle of the way between 2 cities. It is surrounded by a great mountain and an abundance of forest. The population density is lower than the city, but the population increases every year.

Agriculture is a crucial industry in my hometown. Most of the folks are farmers, agriculturalists, and orchardists. There are plenty of farmlands and hills, and there are so many traders, merchandise, and business owners in my district. The market is the centre of exchanging goods and products.

know the economy of the community, you will have to look at the market. People usually spend time in the market, especially in the morning. There are many restaurants and accommodations for travellers.

My country has a diversity of food. In general, the food is divided into two groups. They are Thai food and local food. Thai food refers to food that most Thais know well. Most restaurants sell. Thai people can eat everywhere around the world. Local food or traditional food means food of the region. Every region has its food and recipes. My district is in the Northern part of Thailand. Northern Thai food or Lana food is abundant. My community has so many local food restaurants. Moreover, some families still cook Lanna food. Thus, the people have choices about what they want to eat and consume today.

Exercise 9. Read the passage and decide if the following statements are true (T) or false (F).

Social media is a big part of many teens’ lives. A 2018 Pew Research Centre survey of nearly 750 13 to 17 year olds found that 45% are online almost constantly and 97% use a social media platform, such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat.

Social media allows teens to create online identities, communicate with others and build social networks. These networks can provide teens with valuable support, especially helping those who experience exclusion or have disabilities or chronic illnesses. Teens also use social media for entertainment and self-expression. And the platforms can expose teens to current events, allow them to interact across geographic barriers and teach them about a variety of subjects, including healthy behaviours. Social media that’s humorous or distracting or provides a meaningful connection to peers and a wide social network might even help teens avoid depression.

However, social media use can also negatively affect teens, distracting them, disrupting their sleep, and exposing them to bullying, rumour spreading, unrealistic views of other people’s lives and peer pressure. The risks might be related to how much social media teens use. A 2019 study of more than 6,500 12 to 15 year olds in the U.S. found that those who spent more than three hours a day using social media might be at heightened risk of mental health problems. Another 2019 study of more than 12,000 13 to 16 year olds in England found that using social media more than three times a day predicted poor mental health and well- being in teens.

1. Teenagers’ use of social media is widespread. 2. They only use Facebook and Instagram.

3. Teens can communicate with others via social media. 4. Social media is used by teens for entertainment.

5. A wide social network can’t even help teens avoid depression.
