Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your
answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following
questions from 31 to 36.
Many pre-teens and teenagers enjoy spending their free time doing
things like shopping, going to parties, being with friends, gaming and using
social media, texting, watching movies, reading and going to the beach or park.
Pre-teens and teenagers might also spend their free time doing structured
extracurricular activities like arts and sports, community activities or
volunteering, or casual work.
Spending some free time together is a great way to stay connected with
your child. Doing something one-on-one with parents can be a treat for your
child. You could go to a movie or concert, cook a meal together, go for a walk,
look through family photos, or work together on a project like redecorating your
child’s room. It just depends on what interests you and your child have in
common.
These activities might not happen spontaneously. You might need to
discuss ideas with your child and plan to spend some time together. If spending
free time with you is a new thing, your child might need some encouragement
before they're keen. If this is an issue, you could plan short activities you know
your child is likely to enjoy to start with. Besides, you could ask your child
whether they’d like to invite a friend along. If you spend time together often
enough, your child will probably start to feel more enthusiastic, so keep trying.
You might need to try a range of activities before you find one you both like.
