Audio script:
In this week's programme we'll share with you some
cool ways to hang out with your best friends after a busy
week at school. Basically you can hang out indoors or
outdoors. If you like staying indoors, ask your parents if
you can invite one or two friends over. Make some
popcorn! Watch a movie! It's more comfortable than
going to a cinema! Or if you're feeling creative, you can
make crafts together. You'll feel satisfied once you finish
something. If you fancy being outdoors, play some
sports together. Football, badminton, biking… you name
it! Or it can simply be a relaxing walk in the park. All
these activities are good for your physical health. Do
you prefer something more exciting? Go downtown and
do some people watching. It's fun. If you like something
more organised, go to cultural centres, libraries, and
museums. Educate yourself while having fun!

5. Now write a similar paragraph to answer
one of the following questions.

1. What do you think is the best leisure activity
for teenagers?
2. Should parents decide how teenagers spend
their free time?

Writing sample 1
I believe the best leisure activity for teenagers is
any group activity. This could be playing a team
sport or joining a hobby group or even
volunteering. Firstly, teenagers like to feel that
they belong to the group. Secondly, being part of a
group helps teenagers make friends. Friendship is
very important to teenagers. In addition, they will
make friends with people who have the same
interests as them. For these reasons, I think group
activities are best for teenagers.

Writing sample 2
In my opinion, teenagers should not be decided the way
they use their spare time by parents. Firstly, we all know
that every individual has his/her own leisure time. This is
especially true for juveniles because, at this age, they
should feel free to do what they like. Secondly, if
adolescents are free to do what like, they will have more
opportunities to be creative, and they can develop
themselves naturally. They can get more and more
mature. However, parents should keep an eye on their
children and give some guidance and useful advice in
time so that teenagers are not in their wrong way. In
summary, those above reasons have led me to conclude
that parents should let their children do what they like in
their free time but make sure that everything is under
parents' control.
