My Hobby |
|
|
| My hobby is reading. I read story books, magazines, newspapers and any kind of material that I find interesting.
This hobby got started when I was a little boy. I had always wanted my parents to read fairy tales and other stories to me. Soon they got fed up and tired of having to read to me continually. So as soon as I could, I learned to read. I started with simple ABC books. Soon I could read simple fairy tales and other stories. Now I read just about anything that is available. Reading enables me to learn about so many things that I would otherwise not know. I learned about how people lived in bygone days of magic and mystery. I learned about the wonders of the world, space travel, human achievements, gigantic whales, tiny viruses and other fascinating things of our world. The wonderful thing about reading is that I do not have to learn things the hard way. For example, I do not have to catch a disease to know that it can kill me. I know the danger so I can avoid it. Also I do not have to go deep into the jungle to learn about the tiger. I can read all about it in a book. Books provide the reader with so much information and facts. They have certainly helped me in my daily life. I am better equipped to cope with living. Otherwise I would go about ignorantly learning things the hard way. So I continue to read. Besides being more informed about the world, I also spend my time profitably. It is indeed a good hobby. A. Aswer the questions 1. What is his hobby ? -> His hobby is reading. 2. How does he find reading ? -> He finds it a good hobby. 3. When did he start his hobby ? -> He started it when he was a boy. 4. Why did his parents get fed up and tired of telling him ? -> Because they had to read to him continually. 5. What did he start reading ? -> He started with simple ABC books. 6. What does he read about ? -> Now he reads just about anything that is available. 7. Does reading help him a lot ? -> Yes, it does. 8. Have books certainly helped him in his daily life ? -> Yes, they have. B. Find the word in the reading having the same meaning : 1. happening in a past time = bygone 2. deal successfully with a difficult situation = cope with 3. having a lot of knowledge = informed 4. start = go about 5. stories that sb tells that are not true ; a lie = fairy tales 6. extremely large = gigantic 7. an area of tropical forest = jungle 8. very small in size or amount = tiny |

My name is Sara. My favourite (1) hobby is reading. I enjoy reading a book when I am free. I started to do it (2)when I was four years old. The first time I did it, I felt interested. So I kept reading. The teachers (3)taught me to read the difficult words. I was happy when I read a story with a happy (4) ending. I was thrilled when I read a detective story. I enjoy reading (5)because I like to explore the imaginative world of my favourite author, J.K. Rowling who (6) writes “ Harry Potter” . There are a lot of advantages of reading. Reading can make me relaxed and calm. I can also learn new vocabulary items. Then I can further (7) improve my English. Moreover, it can give me an unlimited imagination, so I can write books in the future. I can learn the different (8) cultures and customs of other countries in the world too. I read at least one hour every day. I read books by (9) myself . I usually read it at home. I wish I could read different kinds of books because it (10) might be very challenging.

English is my mother tongue. Besides, I can speak French and Spanish. I studied the two languages when I was at high school. Now, I am still learning Spanish at the University. As for me, mastering a foreign language is not easy. After studying a language, practice is very necessary and useful. Traveling to the country where the target language is spoken is very helpful, but if you cannot speak the language well enough you will certainly have troubles.
