I’m a teenager and still have a lot of spare time unlike my parents. So after school I usually hang out¹ with my friends in the streets or in the park. My mum and dad say they used to knock around together² for years, and it was OK in their days. If they have free time today, they say they love whiling away³ their days going round the shops or just chatting to one of their old friends. Sometimes our family goes away for a weekend and mucks about⁴ at our old cottage in the countryside, enjoying nice weather or riding bikes together. Mum adores it because it’s out of the city and there is no one who can reach us. The few neighbours are very friendly and welcoming, and we always get together for barbecue or a cup of tea in the evenings.

¹ hang out – тусоваться, слоняться, шляться

² knock around together – бродить, шататься

³ while away – с удовольствием тратить время

⁴ muck about – слоняться без дела, валять дурака
