In my country most teens enjoy hanging out with friends, playing computer games, listening to music, and watching DVDs. Some teens enjoy going window shopping and going clubbing but not many enjoy going on trips to the countryside. I enjoy chatting online.
What you like, don’ t like doing
I like hanging out with my friends and I love skateboarding. I also like watching DVDs with my friends or catching a film at the cinema. Like me, most of my friends like action films and science-fiction films. At the weekends I like to go shopping in the city centre. My favourite shop is Zilck. You can find great bargains there.
Friendship
I can make friends easily because I’ m friendly and sociable. Friends help us express ourselves because we spend time together and like the same things and so we are not afraid to express our opinions with them. I’ ve experienced a lot with my friends because I’ ve known them for a long time and we have done a lot together.
I have a lot of friends and all of them are very important to me. In fact, sometimes I wonder what I would do without them. Friends mean a lot to me because I think it is important to have people around you who you can talk to about personal issues and who you can trust. Of course, it’ s also important to have friends with whom you can share new experiences and have fun with. For me a friend should be loyal, trusting and supportive. I usually go to the cinema with my friends or play video games.
A letter about student exchange
Hi Jane, How are you? I hope you are well. I have a couple of questions to ask you about our student exchange. First of all, can you tell me what clothes I should bring with me? Is the weather likely to be warm or cold at this time of year? Do you think I should bring warm clothes and a jacket or lighter clothes and perhaps a couple of T-shirts?
Secondly, I have no idea how to get to your house when I arrive. Do you think you could give me some directions and tell me which bus or train I should get?
Please let me know as soon as you can so I can get organised. Thanks a lot.
Yours, Mark
