It’s interesting to know who 12-year old teenagers spend more time, with their family or their friends. A journalist interviewed some teenagers. Do you want to know the result? I can’t say that I spend more time with my family. I’d rather say that I spend more time at home, being alone. I like reading books alone at home. I like reading books when it’s quiet and when nobody disturbs you. Most of my friends spend their free time playing computer games but it’s different for me. I don’t play any computer
games and hardly ever surf the internet. I think playing computer games is for lazy teenagers. Sometimes on the weekends I go for a walk with my friends. We stroll in the park or go to the cinema.
I think I spend more time with my friends than with my family. My parents very often work long hours and I have to be at home alone. I hate being alone – it’s too boring. When my parents are at work, I often invite my friends over and we play computer games. Our favourite game is Minecraft. About two months ago, I started
learning to play the guitar and my friends became my audience. They say that I’m making some progress and I want to believe them!
I like going to the cinema to see new films and cartoons. My mother says that I’m a cinemaddict. My favourite actor is Orlando Bloom. I have seen all the films in which he was starring and I have some really nice posters of him in my room. I go to the cinema with my friends or my family. Every evening after dinner I
go for a walk with my family because my friends live far away from me. And I watch TV with my family at weekends. On weekdays I go to school, do my homework, and help my parents.
