I think learning English is very interesting because it helps me communicate with many people around the world. However, I find carving wood quite difficult since it requires a lot of skill and patience. Cooking is not expensive and is a useful hobby, but sometimes I find it boring to do alone. On the other hand, making pottery is an unusual hobby and can be expensive if you buy the materials, but it is also very creative. I think taking photos is cheap and interesting because it allows me to capture beautiful moments. Watching TV is boring to me because it doesn’t challenge my mind much. Finally, I find dancing fun and exciting, although it can be difficult to learn new steps at first.
