 Over to You!

Teen World Magazine is doing a story on what teenagers in Vietnam like to do in their free time and asked Huy and Như about their hobbies.

Huy: I really like doing sports. My favorite sport is karate. I love doing karate. I'm a member of a club, and I'm on the high school team, too. At home, I enjoy doing crossword puzzles. My mom does a crossword every day, and we sometimes do it together. I like solving the clues before she can. I really like playing soccer with my friends, but I don't like just running. Running by yourself is just so boring! The other members of my family love playing board games, but I think that's boring, too. I think playing video games is much more fun.

Như: I enjoy doing aerobics. I go to an aerobics class on Mondays and Thursdays. A few of my friends go to the class, too. I also like playing role-playing games with my friends once or twice a week. Role-playing games are so cool! My dad loves going for a bike ride. Sometimes I go with him. He likes going fishing, too. I really don't like going fishing because there's nothing to do but sit there.

What do you like doing? And what don't you like? Write in and let us know!
