Unit 1 - Đọc hiểu & Từ vựng: Leisure time

Read the text and choose the best answer.

Finding a balance between work and family life is important for a healthy and happy lifestyle. Leisure activities provide an opportunity to bond with your family, create beautiful memories, and strengthen your relationships. Some families fancy outdoor activities like snowboarding or be fond of staying in a resort for relaxing while others may prefer DIY activities.

Participating in do-it-yourself (DIY) with family is a popular activity in the leisure time recently. DIY is the activity of making, repairing or decorating things in the home yourself, instead of paying somebody to do it. DIY allows you to develop your creativity and work together to create something unique.

One popular DIY is making bracelets together. Using a bracelet-making kit, you can create beautiful accessories. Follow the instructions and use colorful beads, strings, and charms to design unique bracelets and family members can wear them. Another DIY activity that is keen on is origami. Origami was developed by the Japanese about a thousand years ago, but its root was in China. With just a sheet of paper and some techniques, you can fold beautiful paper figures and shapes. Origami is fun for both children and adults.
