Dear TeenLives,

TOP 3 EXCITING THINGS MY FAMILY ENJOYS DOING TOGETHER

A____________

My parents often let me choose a destination to go and major activities  to do at the weekends. I’m so excited before each trip. What I like most is to decide my clothes for each activity. I can wear a cap, a T-shirt, and trainers.

B____________

The great thing about this activity is that my parents, my younger brother, and I can do the gardening together. We usually wear T-shirts, shorts and boots, but sometimes we can wear anything! Then, we do simple planting, or water the flowers and vegetables. Sometimes, we feel tired but most of the time we feel really relaxed!

C____________

We love this activity very much. It’s so interesting! We have a small studio in the house, so it does not annoy our neighbours. This activity gives us a chance to step up to the mic and relax. My parents and I wish to do it regularly, maybe once a week!
