A teen’s routine
“My name is Defne and I’m 14. On weekdays I get up at 6.45 and catch the school bus at 7.30. After school I attend a basketball course twice a week. I usually do my homework before dinner. I rarely watch TV; I prefer listening to podcasts. At weekends I hang out with my friends at the mall or go cycling. I can’t stand getting up early on Sundays!”
Teen activities: hang out with friends, go shopping, surf the net, chat online, play an instrument, do sports, attend a course, go to the cinema, read comics, take photos
