Some teenagers enjoy spending free time with their friends. Others prefer doing 
leisure activities with their family members. I love spending time with my family 
because it’s a great way to connect with them. 
At the weekend, we usually go for a bike ride. We cycle to some nearby villages 
to enjoy the fresh air. We take photos and look at them later. My big brother 
and I are also into cooking. My brother looks for easy recipes. After that, we 
prepare the ingredients and cook. Sometimes the food is good, but sometimes 
it isn’t; nevertheless, we love whatever we cook. The leisure activity I like the 
most is doing DIY projects with my mum. She teaches me to make my own 
dresses and doll clothes. On special occasions, we make special dresses 
together. Once I won the first prize in a costume contest at my school.
