1. MY WEEKEND ACTIVITIES

There are many things I usually do on the weekends but I always spend time with my
family. On Saturdays I usually sleep late and wake up at 9.30 or 10.00 a.m. and then I
go for take a bath and do something useful or make sense such as read a book or
online newspaper and memories some English and German words after that I have
lunch with my family, then I watch movies on the Laptop or TV with my sister, after
that I sleep and after sleep I help my mom in the kitchen. That is my Saturdays
activities

And on Sunday is different because I usually sleep early because i have to go to the
Church. I wake up at about 7.30 a.m. and prepare myself for worship, then I take a
bath and my family and I go to the Church together, we back home at 11.30 a.m. after
that we having lunch and watch TV, then I sleep for an hour and after sleep I prepare
to back to Tondano because tomorrow is Monday but I don’t really like Mondays!

That are my kind of weekend activities but usually on Friday or Saturday I like to go
to the Book store to read books over there or buy some books and hang out with some
friends of mine to watch movie on the Cinema but since the last 4 months until now
we have to stay home because of the Corona Virus, so all the activities do not run
stable.

For my last holiday I went to Alung banua, Bunaken with my family on 25 of May for
a week over there to visited our family. It was so incredible, I had so much fun and so
happy because after almost 4 months I have to stayed home and finally I can go out!
So I missed the Beach so much and when I was there I’m going to the Beach
everyday, every morning, afternoon and in the evening because the Beach is so
beautiful for Snorkeling, I saw a lots of fish swam around me, the coralreefs are so
pretty, the biodiversity amazed me. And on the 3rd day my mom asked me to going to
Bunaken with my friend to bought Avocados and its took about 45 minutes to arrived
and I really like Avocado and after that we are going to Bastianos Dive Resort and
 then back home to Alung banua and everthing was happened like usually I’m going to
the Beach with my friends and snorkelling until my skin got lil bit dark but thats what
I like....it was so fun, I can interected with people over there, I got new friends, I
enjoyed the nature, the nature made my heart and mind calm.....
and the next day my mom asked me to go Bunaken again with my friend to bought
amber fruits for bring when we back home, and I really like amber fruit also, it has a
good taste when you fried it and mixed with brown sugar hmmm.. it is one of my
favorite snack. Alright five days left and finally we should back home but so sad
because I can’t snorkeling anymore but yes for sure I’ll be back...

Topic 3
The first text with the title: Parents vs teens. I hope you enjoy reading the texts and doing the
tasks.

Parents VS Kids

After reading the text, please do:

A.  Reading
Answer the following questions:
1. What are three assumptions that parents usually make about their teenaged children?
= One, Usually, when their teenagers have wild friends parents immediately think that
their teenagers will act the same way.
Two, parents usually have problems with teens appearance. They think that there is a
connections between the clothes and hairstyles that teens wear and the way these teens
behave
Three, Parents may assume that they have all the answers to teens problems and that
they know exactly what teens are going through because they were teenagers once.
2. What is one reason that parents make these assumptions about their children?
= Parents make these assumptions about their teens because they love them, care about
them and worry about them
3. What advice does the writer give to parents?
= Instead of shouting at their teens when they are worried about them, parents need to
be open, accepting and understanding.
4. What advice does the writer give to teenager?
= They need to approach their parents as the loving, caring people they are.

B. Speaking
Work with your partner. Discuss these questions:
1. What should teenagers do so that their parents won't worry about them? = Teenagers
should be open about everything to their parents, asking about their parents opinion
about everything that he/she will follow and doing in the future, teenagers must
maintain their communication with their parents

2. What should parents do to avoid conflicts with teenagers? = - Help your teens to calm
down by showing your understanding, letting them express their disappointment, or
giving them space to if they need it
-look after yourself – talking to someone you trust can help you feel better about the
situation
-take your time to express your feelings, thoughts, and wishes as best as you can
-keep it simple and short- this can encourage your teens to listen
-try to negotiate a decision that you can both live with, or at least try to be clear about
what you can’t agree

3. Should parents tell teenagers what kinds of friends to have or what kind of clothes to wear?
Explain. = As your child enters the teenage years, friends will become more important.
Positive, accepting and supportive friendships are an important part of the journey to
adulthood for your child. For teenagers, good friends can be like a personal support
group. Friends and friendships give teenagers:

 a sense of belonging, a feeling of being valued and help with

developing confidence
 the sense of security and comfort that comes from being with others going
through similar experiences
 information about the changes that puberty brings, and what’s going on
physically and emotionally
 a way to experiment with different values, roles, identities and ideas
 experience in getting along with people of the opposite sex
 a chance to experience early romantic and sexual relationships
 a social group to do new things with, especially things that are different from
what families do.

Positive friendship are an important part of the journey to adulthood. They help
teenagers learn important social and emotional skills, like being sensitive to other
people’s thoughts, feelings and wellbeing.

Praising teenagers when you see them being fair, trusting and supportive encourages them
to keep working on those positive social traits.
But Not all friendships are positive or good for children. Among teenagers, negative
relationships are sometimes called ‘toxic friendships’ and the people in them are called
‘frenemies’. Your child might need help to avoid or deal with toxic friendships. So I
think parents should tell teenagers what kinds of friends to have

What kind of clothes to wear

This is a tricky issue, you want your child to be dressed well but they should have some
control over the things they wear. Perhaps have a conversation about what you feel is
appropriate and allow your teen to have their input. This way the two of you can work
towards some kind of compromise and have some rules in place. I do believe parents
should have a say, but teens are able to make some decisions for themselves.

Think about why this is so important to you, is this a form of control? Are your children
dressing in an unacceptable manner? What do you think is appropriate? What are your
preferences vs your teen’s preferences? These questions are important and can help you
as you talk with your children about what they wear and the importance of dressing in
different ways.
