Yoga originates in India and it is good for both your body and mind. Anyone can do yoga – women or men,
adults or children. Special children’s classes are devised to help them to cope with pressures they feel from their
schoolwork. By learning how to co-ordinate breathing and movement, yoga helps them to develop body
awareness, self-control, and flexibility. Taking up yoga also helps them to focus and become better with daily
routines. Start doing yoga by setting aside a regular time for it. Go slowly, listen to your body and don’t push it too

The NET Generation
Phuc is playing football and he has just scored a goal; Phuc is so happy now. At the same time, Mai is taking care
of her cute cat.She always remembers when to take her pet out for a walk or when to feed it. Sounds fantastic,
doesn't it? But they both spend most of their free time playing football or looking after pets ONLINE!
Nowadays, teenagers heavily rely on technology and many of them find it hard to live without mobiles, computers

and the Internet. Adoring the virtual world can be harmful to both teens' bodies and minds. Instead of joining
outdoor activities like football, skating or biking, many boys and girls enjoy sitting in front of computers or
TVs. Others are addicted to using their mobiles for texting, chatting and checking updates on Facebook all the
time. They prefer these activities perhaps because they don't have to think or imagine much. Teens now have less
time to read books, take exercise or hang out with family and friends because they fancy the unreal world.
Although Phuc and Mai are quick at using computers and they seem to remember quite a lot of English vocabulary
in the games, their parents are considering banning them from using computers. Phuc and Mai's parents want them
to spend more leisure time outdoors playing sports, socialising with others or taking up a new hobby.

Customs and traditions play an important role in our family. We maintain our own customs and traditions
to strengthen each member's sense of belonging.

of the great outdoors in our children. We've found our favourite campsite and returned there again and again.
That's why we've built lots of special memories around that place.
(B) Secondly, we have the tradition of hunting Easter eggs. Instead of leaving the Easter basket by their beds or in

next until they find their baskets. We have followed this tradition for generations and Easter has always been an
awesome and memorable vacation.
(C) By tradition, my family also celebrates Thanksgiving. The most interesting part is related to the Thankful Box.
Family members are encouraged to write down a few things they are grateful for on paper and then place it in a


decorated box. Later on, as the family eats dessert, the box is passed around the table for each person to pick up a
note and read it aloud until the box is empty. It's so meaningful to hear heartfelt and sometimes humourous thankyou messages from family members.

No one is obliged to follow these family customs and traditions; we actually all fancy taking part in them because
they make us closer as a family.

This Khmer folk dance expresses social unity and provide entertainment after work. They have created folk dances

that describe their work and social life such as the coconut dance, harvesting rice dance, and wedding dance that
