Indonesian Teens Activiy

 Mostly teenagers in our country Indonesia have same activity with the other teenagers around the world. It can be music, reading, sports, gaming, painting, and many more. But the activity that i would like to survey is abot Sports and Gaming. The aim of the report is to know more about teenagers activity a bit further.
Sports
Teenagers around 14-15 years old have their own favorite activity. This time I'm gonna write my report base on my interviewed with my few friends. As we know, sport is one of the most popular activity in the whole world, Especially for teenagers. They prefer do some sports than spent time in their house. Most of teenagers i've interviewed choose Soccer than any other sports like Basketball, Tennis, Athletic, Because as we know that Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. They do some sports mostly at weekend or on their extracurricular at School. And most of them know that sports can make them healthy, and stronger, beside of that sport is a really fun activity to do.

Gaming 
Most of the student like my age love to do some gaming. I've interviewed a few friends of mine, and i will write it as a report. As we know, playing some game is an refreshing activity. But some people think that gaming is a negative things to do. But if we look on the bright side, it isn't. Some students knows what is the negative things that we achieve if we do too much gaming. But to avoid that, we have to decrease our gaming time. Probably 2-3 hours per day is enough. The positive things that we can earn from gaming is refreshment, excitement, fun, and more of it. The popular video games around teenagers are Counter Strike, Dota, Lost Saga, Pro Evolution Soccer, GTA, and many more. They mostly do some gaming around weekend, because its refreshing.

About Indonesia (edited)

This report aims to present what is popular with teenagers in Indonesia. It could be their lifestyles, their music, movies, public transportation, and the other things. But, I just concerned with two topics, it is public transportation and cultures of Indonesia. I interviewed 14 friends of my classmate, and here's the result.

Public Transportation: 
As you know, Indonesia, especially Jakarta has many public transportation. It's look like the other country, same like taxi, airplane, etc. But mine is not so cool like foreign country. We have busway, taxi, bajaj, bus, and the others. Most of my friends prefer busway to be their public transportation. It is comfortable and cheap, but often we got on the news that many people on busway lost their money. Busway also full of people, and have a long queues. The place of queues is not comfortable, it is hot and full of people.
What about the other transportation? Taxi also the popular public transportation. It is comfortable, but it is expensive. And the others like bajaj and bus, there must be renovated. It is cheap but it is not feasible anymore, and they are not follow the rules, so they always make traffic jam.

Cultures:
Indonesia is so rich of their cultures, every provinces, tribes has their own cultures and it makes Indonesia full of diverse cultures. The majority of people said the traditional dance, like saman, must be kept by us. The way can be like joining the school club, extraculicullar, etc. of traditional dance and study about them. And the others said the cultures like wayang, batik, traditional song, and music must be conserved too. But some people also said that we must keep every cultures that we have. How to keep them? They said we should tell our children, grandchildren, etc. about the cultures and we must respect our cultures, not underestimate it.

It is surprised when most of people prefer public transportation that is expensive than the cheap one, they just prefer the comfortable of it. Also they want to keep traditional dance, especially saman dance, and they said the way to keep them too.
