Here’s a suitable completion of the passage with the suggested words:

I love skateboarding in my **(1)** **free** time. I wish I could **(2)** **have** the time to do it every day but unfortunately, homework **(3)** **takes** up most of my time at the moment, so I don’t usually **(4)** **have** the time to go skateboarding after school. In fact, for the time **(5)** **being** until I’ve taken all my exams, I can only do it at the weekend. But I **(6)** **spend** hours every Saturday and Sunday practicing new tricks. I find that time **(7)** **passes** so quickly when you’re having fun. It usually **(8)** **takes** quite a long time to become a very good skateboarder. I kept falling off when I tried it for the **(9)** **first** time!
