If you want a way to become physically fit and improve your spatial reasoning
skills, skiing and snowboarding are great hobbies. All it requires is snow, a

winter sports will teach you how to judge distance accurately, understand the
way your body moves through space, and how to make correct decisions on
the fly.

Ahmad : I am so excited for the holidays. Hurray! My parents are bringing me to an amusement
park!

Rafie : I don’t like amusement parks. I think that they are so noisy. I prefer going camping. I
will be going with my brother and his friends.

Ahmad : I agree that amusement parks are noisy but I like the many activities to do there and the
really cool amusement park rides.

Rafie : It really sounds like you will have a good time then. I prefer hiking and putting up a tent.

Ahmad : It sounds very uncomfortable sleeping on the hard ground. Thinking about all the insects
and mosquitoes is quite scary.

Rafie : We will be well prepared. I enjoy sleeping in the midst of nature. It makes me feel so
peaceful to leave my stress and worries behind. Nature heals. By staying close to nature,
I feel more grateful and appreciative of what it has to offer to us. Seeing the wonders of
nature automatically fosters the urge to protect it.

Ahmad : I can’t agree with you more. Breathing in nature gives us wholesome sensory
awareness. When we spend time outdoors with nature, we are more mindful of what
we see, what we hear, what we smell, and what we feel.

Rafie : If you can’t be in awe of Mother Nature, there’s something wrong with you.

B So which activity would you prefer? Going to an amusement park or camping?
Tell your friends about your preference. Try to use the phrases in bold to describe the activity you

prefer. You may re-use the points used or provide your own points.

A Read the blog posts below about what other teens like doing.

Pete in Los Angeles I am an animal-loving person. The aquatic creatures at the Santa Monica Pier
Aquarium is awesome, especially the exhibits of the vast array of sea life found in the Pacific Ocean.
Nearby is the L.A. Zoo in Griffith Park, which I often go to. There are over 1 000 many different creatures
from around the globe, in addition to thousands of different plants in the Botanical Gardens, which is
why I enjoy hanging out here.

Shelly in Kansas Getting a summer job is important as I can get some extra cash. I cut grass for
people, wash cars and even babysit. My sister does some dog walking. Some people like taking
photographs and selling them, or working at a coffee shop. That sounds a lot of fun as I bet they
get to meet a lot of people.

Yvette in South Africa Most Afrikaans-speaking people are rugby crazy, while the Afrikaans
and English-speaking people are serious soccer fans. I prefer rugby. Most schools stick to this,
whereas Afrikaans-speaking schools provide rugby and netball, and English schools offer
soccer and netball. I also enjoy water sports and hiking, especially with my mates.

Airi in Tokyo I love going to Tsukiji Fish Market with my mother. This market is tremendous.
It is filled with so many things to eat, see and do. I go there every weekend and I still find new
things to see. I eat a lot of sushi and in my opinion, this is the best place for the freshest fish in
the world. There are also all kinds of tasty treats, from samples of juices, towering shaved ice
to tasty coffee treats. The best part of being here is always watching the fishmongers skilfully
carve tuna.
