- Do families (or other groups of people) in your

seem interesting or unpleasant to you? What
kinds of outdoor activities do you like? Why? - Because his parents are divorced, Kyle must
move frequently from his mom’s house to his
dad’s house and then back again to his mom’s
house. What do you think about this way of
living?
I don’t know the attitude of people in the whole country, so I’ll just introduce people in my city. People don’t camp for fun. I’ve never been camping, and perhaps, for me, the fear of safety far outweighs the joy I might experience when spending the night in the wild.
Many people walk around the streets or dance in the square after dinner; they also do these things in the morning. Of course, these were common activities before the pandemic, and after the pandemic started, these activities decreased a lot. Now we are always asked to stay home more.
Hello everyone:
Do families (or other groups of people) in your country go camping for fun?
They used to, but not anymore, because there are many security problems.
Do you find camping interesting or unpleasant?
I think this is an interesting activity, but only as long as there is a guarantee of security.
What kind of outdoor activities do you like? Why?
Playing soccer seems like a good activity to me and going to the beach too, because they are good for the body and the mind.
Because his parents are divorced, Kyle must frequently move from his mother’s house to his father’s house and then back to his mother’s house. What do you think about this way of living?
This is not good for Kyle, nor for any teenager because it produces psychological imbalances.

Discussion question.
Due to security reasons, in my country Pakistan, hardly people go camping The families and groups of people do outdoor activities using their own rides and stay at hotels. Personally, I like going camping. It seems interesting to me. It is a way of getting away from the hassle of urban life to a more natural environment for a limited time.

Kyle’s parents are divorced, quite painful! when parents get divorced children definitely are the worst affected, but in Kyle’s case, operantly he is enjoying moving between mom’s and dad’s places. which is a very healthy attitude.
Greetings Maestro Sersea
Personally, I believe that is common to see this kind of situation mainly in parents divorced. In the case of Kyle, he seems to be adapted to that change of schedule that implied the divorce of their parents, if we pay close attention to the text, apparently it seems that their parents had a kind of deal or shared custody because he lived with her mother but the Thursday since 6:00 to 9:00 he went to visit his father and then since Friday to Sunday and after that He go backed to his mother house but in many cases isn´t the same, because some children have had to face disorders even in their behaviors, and some of this children sometimes have had to be treated through psychologies treatment to can overcome the trauma.
In my contry DRC is rare to go camping…
kyle must adapt to the situation he is going through, especially since he must feel love and have feelings for both parents divorce is always difficult to live with and always comes with its realities
