Teenagers spend their free time in different ways. Some active boys and girls go hiking, camping or cycling with friends, teachers and parents. By the way, it’s one of the most useful and interesting activities. Another group of young people prefers visiting such cultural places as theatres, museums, opera houses and cinemas. Of course, there are boys and girls who are very passive in the way of spending their free time. They usually stay at home sitting in front of the computer screen, surfing the Net or playing computer games. It’s not the best activity because it’s harmful for the health and it isolates these teenagers from the normal communication with the others. In the evening some young people enjoy dancing at the discoclubs.
