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.

Tạm dịch:
Vài thiếu niên thích dành thời gian với bạn bè. Những người khác thì thích làm các hoạt động trong lúc rảnh rỗi với thành viên gia đình họ. Tôi thích dành thời gian với gia đình vì nó là một cách tốt để kết nối với họ.
Vào cuối tuần, chúng tôi thường đi xe đạp. Chúng tôi đạp xe đến các ngôi làng gần đây để tận hưởng không khí trong lành. Chúng tôi chụp ảnh để sau này xem lại. Anh trai lớn của tôi và tôi cũng thích nấu ăn. Em tôi đi tìm kiếm các công thức. Sau đó, chúng tôi chuẩn bị nguyên liệu và nấu. Thi thoảng đồ ăn rất ngon, tuy nhiên đôi lúc thì không, chúng tôi thích những gì mình nấu. Các hoạt động trong lúc rảnh rỗi mà mình thích nhất là làm các đồ tự chế với mẹ mình. Mẹ dạy mình cách làm đầm và quần áo cho búp bê. Vào những dịp đặc biệt, mình và mẹ cùng nhau làm những bộ đầm đặc biệt. Một lần mình đã thắng giải nhất trong một cuộc thi hóa trang ở trường.
