Have teens got enough free time?
Teenagers and their free time.
'' Teenagers do not have a lot of free time, and they waste it.'' What do you think of this statement.
I agree with this statement that teenagers do not have a lot of free time because they may have a lot of homework but when they have, they waste it on computers and television instead of doing something more creative.

Thoughts about Nature
In my opinion , living in the nature is very nice because the air is cleaner and healthier and the environment is peaceful and relaxing . So, i would totally recommend to anyone a day out to picnic, to camp or anything.There is nothing better than staying under the shades of a tree forgeting about the routine and just relax. However, it is better to do it with family or friends.
