My favourite hobby is reading. I (1)started/began......... this hobby when I was 5 years old. I still remember the first book I read, which was (2)about....... a lazy rabbit. I was so excited when I read that book, so I kept (3)reading.......... I enjoy reading (4)because........... it develops my imagination. It also widens my knowledge. I can understand (5)why........... a nation has its name or what causes natural disasters. Moreover, (6)it............. helps me connect with other students because (7)there........... is a book club at my school. We gather once a week to (8)share........... what we have read.
