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