My Hobbies
    I have many hobbies, such as sports, singing, playing the violin and keeping a diary.
    At school, I often hear the PE teacher say sports are good for our health and will make us live longer. So I like sports very much. I go running at five o’clock in the afternoon. I play table tennis with my friends. These sports have kept me healthy.
    At home, I like singing and playing the violin. I hope I will be a singer and violinist when I grow up. In order to reach these goals, I go to the teacher’s home for a lesson every Saturday and practice singing. Of all my hobbies, I like reading books best. In my bedroom there are lots of books. When I grow up, I will serve the people with the knowledge I have learnt.
