  1. My favorite activities is playing soccer; because it is entertaining and it amuses me; I prefer to play outdoors and I love football; good active hobbies are better than sedentary ones because when they are sitting inside a house you are not circulating blood compared to when you are moving outside; I believe that young people spend their time in a negative way since they are all day with the cell phone or eating junk food.

  12. Hello teacher, my favorite activities are: listening to music, watching korean dramas and dancing, because they entertain me. I like to do this hobbies indoor, at my hause. I think assets hobbies are better than sedentary because they allow you to do physical activity. I don´t think youngers use free time in a positive way, because they abuse using the technology.

  14. Hello teacher my favorite activity in my spare time is to play with my friends where I live with the fotball, the hide and seek and the pint, because that way I entertain myself a bit playing with my friends and also to share with my friends.
    I prefer to do outdoor activities, because it is more relaxed and more.
    If I think that active pastimes are better than sedentary ones because you have to have more movement in Your Body.
    I do not think that young People spend their time in a positive way because they are up to date with cell phones and social networks.
    Bye teacher

  17. Hi teacher this is my opinion about the theme. I like playing Fortine, playing football and also put together Rubik cubes. I like this because it is very fun for my. Fortine and Rubik cubes I can do it inside but Football (Soccer) only outside. I think active hobbies are better, because sedentary hobbies are not healthy. I think not, because the Technology and Videogames.
    That is all, greetings and Bye!

  23. My favourite activities in my free time are gymnastics and swimming, because it keeps me in shope. I prefer being outdoors because that's how you enjoy life. When you are sitting, you are worried about not doing and anything productive, but when you play or move you will start having fun not because the young people worry about the mobile phone and nothing else, although there are still people interested in sports.
