What's the Best Way Not to Waste Time?

For me, there's nothing more important than dancing. I take lessons in Irish dancing. You might think that is boring, but it's really good fun and enjoyable. I have a chance to travel to places like Canada and the States* to compete. The only thing that matters for me now is to win in the World Championships of Irish dancing in Ireland. I'm going there this month. I'm excited about my hobby. I think it's a brilliant hobby and people should try it before they say it's boring.

Anna.

When I come home from school I do nothing but relax because I'm very tired after a tough day at school. I like to sit in front of the telly with a bag of popcorn. I'm a bit of a couch potato.* My favourite channel is MTV.* My mum doesn't like how I spend time. She says that I waste it. I do not agree. Isn't it fair just to relax? We all work very hard, especially when we have tests. More than that I get a lot out of TV. There is nothing I don't know about my favourite group. And it's also fun to be a fan!

Tom.

There's one thing that is worth (cледует) doing after school — it's playing sport. It's not only enjoyable, but useful, too. Sport makes you healthy and fit. I'm mad about climbing and- every spare minute I spend in the local climbing centre.* The great thing about climbing is that you can become good quickly. I took up climb­ing about 6 months ago and I was thrilled with it. It's different from other sports. It's challenging and it makes me feel really strong. I also like the feeling of helping others. I've made lots of friends here and really enjoy it.

3. — Well Ken, if you ask me, there is too much to complain
about being young. It can really be hard sometimes, espe­cially when your parents hardly ever leave you alone.

-You're telling me! I quite like my Mom and Dad, but
they're always ready to criticise me. " Don't do this! You
can't do that! " It's often really hard to put up with.

Oh, it's really that bad. Frankly, I'm having a big argu­ment with my parents at the moment. I ask them to buy
me a motorbike, but they say I can't ride one. They say,
" It's against the law. Wait till you are 17. You are not an adult yet."

-Although, sometimes it’s just the opposite. See, I’m 17. And I can join the army, right? But I’m not allowed to see war films, because they say they are too violent.

-That’s really unfair. Actually, when we go on train or bus, we are adults. I have to pay full price for the ticket.

-I can understand how you feel, Gary. I sure am lucky I can have part-time job and get some money. My younger brother is only 12. And he can hardly ever afford a new CD.

-Hey, don’t talk about money. I don’t even have enough to cover my daily expenses. I can’t wait till I leave school and get full-time job.

-Oh, no. that would really come as a shock for my parents, they want me to study further. Honestly, I have to obey them. I remember, when I was 11, I couldn’t even buy a dog without their permission.

-That sounds really bad.
