A new study of "happy western teenagers" is now available. It tells us why these happy people are happy.
Happy and optimistic teenagers spend a lot of their time with family and friends. They always have dinner with their family, and never eat alone. They often have a cup of coffee or tea with a parent, or brother or sister, or other relative, and chat about their day. They usually spend at least one evening per week with friends, at home or doing something together such as going to the cinema.
They usually study regularly, and don't allow homework to build up. This results is in low stress level at school.
Do they eat at least one good meal a day?
Yes, they do! They rarely snack or skip meals, and they always try to eat a fruit and vegetables. Most teenagers are usually sporty. Surprisingly, their healthy diet comes with some unhealthy habits: many teenagers occasionally smoke, and so admit that they often smoke. They say they are not worried about the health problems that smoking can cause.
Page 66 exercise 4
But a part from going to the cinema, what do today's teenagers like doing in their free time? The teenagers we interviewed say they often go for a walk in town with their friends, window shopping or looking at the latest fashion. They stop in a cafè and always enjoy the opportunity to relax and chat. They sometimes do sport, but this varies a lot. For example, some teenagers usually do sport three or four times a week, if they are part of a team or association like a football, basketball or judo club. They rarely go to the swimming pool. But some teenagers practice it like sport and do it.
Many teenagers listen to music or watch films alone or with friends. They often buy CDs and regularly download music on their computer at home. They often speak to friends on their mobile phones and sometimes spend an hour sending text messages to them. They sometimes read, and occasionally write, but the majority prefer films to books.

CHILDREN'S CLUB
-We are a group of young people who want to help children aged 4 to 10.
-When do we meet? In the afternoon and on Saturdays.
-We help children spend their time doing something useful and creative - and not watching TV. Your child can make a lot of friends at the Children's Club.
THE ACTIVITIES:
-We love helping children do creative activities. We do drawing and painting and when necessary we help children do their homework. We plan to make calendars and plan pots this year, two interesting activities that also help children learn about time and seasons, and about basic biology.
-We also hope to make simple food. We don't have an oven, so we plan to make sandwiches, salads and simple desserts. This helps children learn about nutrition.
-We plan to do some sport, especially team games.
-We hope hope to spend at least two hours per week making drama activities, and at the end of the school year we intend to put on a show with the children as stars.

Daniel loves rock-climbing, and he is planning to climb a 300-metre high rock face near his home for charity.
He's preparing to do the climb by getting fit. Every day he likes doing a five-mile run and then an hour of stretching. This is very important for his strength and for the unusual movements he does when climbing. He likes swimming too, and enjoys going to the local pool at the weekends.
Daniel hopes to spend the winter months getting fit, and then a month in spring practising the climb with older experts. The in June he intends to do the climb in front of spectators.
