</div><span class="text_page_counter">Trang 13</span><div class="page_container" data-page="13">

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

<b>III. READING</b>

<b>Exercise 1. Read the passage and choose the best answers.</b>

Many people enjoy living in a big city because they think life is more exciting there. However, I come from a small village and in my view, there are lots of benefits. The main reason I prefer village life is because it’s very quiet, so 1 always feel calm when I’m here. Another reason is that the air is so fresh and clean. We have more green spaces and bigger gardens, too. In addition, I think the people here are friendlier. Personally, I’m interested in wildlife photography, so the countryside is perfect for me.

The only downside is transport. I have an early start for a long journey to school in Faro and the school bus is always stopping to pick up more people. Also, it’s boring sometimes, but I enjoy chatting to my friends. Fortunately, I’m learning to ride a moped. On balance, I disagree that city life is better, as I think my village lifestyle is healthier and more relaxing. In spite of that, some of my friends couldn’t cope with life in the country, so it comes down to personal opinion.
