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. All of us love rollerblading. We often play football, basketball or frisbee 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 as other teenagers I often go on the Internet or play computer games - but not always! It's a pity that a lot of 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 cup of tea and we play chess or cards. At the weekend we go hiking, fishing or sometimes we go to the cinema. We like comedies.
