My name’s Susan. I have two favourite hobbies. My first hobby is
reading. I started to do it when I was four years old. The first time I
did it, I felt interested. So I kept reading. I enjoy reading because it can
make me relaxed and calm. Moreover, it can give me an imagination,
so I can write books in the future. I can learn the different cultures and
customs of other countries in the world, too.
•
My second hobby is gardening. I have made a small garden and
planted many beds of flowers. In the spring season, my garden is full
of beautiful flowers. I have a separate plot for vegetables – carrots,
potatoes, etc. In the evening, I water the plants and remove the weeds.
I love sitting in my garden and reading my books. It is very pleasant to
be there!
