Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Our free time is very important for relaxing and having fun. Today, technology gives us many new ways to enjoy this time. We can watch movies on TV or phones, listen to music, and play video games anytime. We also use social media to talk to friends and share photos. These activities are fun, easy, and can be done at home. However, spending too much time on screens can be bad for our eyes and sleep. Sometimes, it also means we play alone instead of with others.
But there are many fun things to do without technology. People still enjoy old activities like reading books, playing sports outside, or meeting friends for coffee. Families like to play board games, cook together, or go for walks in the park. These activities help us talk to people "face-to-face", move our bodies, and use our imagination. "They" make us feel happy and relaxed. Many people think a balance is best: some time with technology and some time without it.
Finding the right balance is the key to good leisure time. We can enjoy a new movie on TV and also play football with friends. We can chat online and also read a book before bed. The most important thing is to choose activities that make us feel good, help us rest, and let us spend quality time with people we care about.
