Today I am going to tell you about my hobbies. My favourite hobbies are playing basketball, playing volleyball, drawing and listening to music. Firstly, I feel a great sense of enjoyment from playing basketball because basketball gives me lots of fun and happiness. Basketball not only releases a lot of the stress which I get from school and homework but it also helps me keep fit. . I got a good grade for it too which makes me feel proud of my efforts to do try and do well. I have a basketball idol called Michael Jordan. He inspired me with his fabulous skills when I look back over the years when I followed his career. I watched many of the matches in which he played. Not only did he have brilliant technical basketball skills but he also showed a great cooperative spirit which worked very well with his teammates, making a great and strong team which was often very difficult to be beaten by the opposition. I particularly loved his shooting skills in many of the matches I watched and he scored most of the time with the shots he took.
Now the second of my favourite hobbies is drawing…and I have also chosen Art as one of my ‘A’ level subjects. Drawing lets me feel at peace with myself and quite relaxed. I like to draw lots of different drawings and I spend most of my spare time drawing while also listening to music at the same time. I like to create my pictures in both pencil and colour. When I work in colour the number of different colours lets me feel that the pictures I draw are special…and actually at times quite humorous. I do sometimes like to experiment with the re-use ….or recycling of…. many different materials. I have successfully used old shoe boxes, plastic bags and cups to create things which I can also use for myself. For example I have used three shoe boxes and covers to create my own storage system which is fixed on the wall. I have drawn many different patterns to make my home made storage stand out more and more distinctive. When I looked at the finished article I was very happy at what I had achieved and I really like what I created. These ‘creative’ storage solutions not only save money but also , I feel, make my room look more beautiful.
Thirdly, another one of my favourite hobbies is my second sport which I enjoy very much – it is Volleyball. I started to play volleyball when I was 12 years old. As I hope you know, volleyball is a team game and needs good cooperation and understanding between all members of the team to play well. I always stay after school to play volleyball and so help to build up a good understanding between all other members of our team. Volleyball creates close bonds and trust between players on the same team. It can create friendships and a feeling of togetherness when we all are trying to win a game together. I am pleased and happy that I have found a group of good teammates. Although playing volleyball is hard, I still love to compete and meet the difficult challenges which the games present. I remember that I used to play with my friends in school on a Saturday. Then afterwards we would go out as a team for lunch together. Volleyball gave me, and still gives me, many good memories. It’s something I don’t want to lose and I will remember those memories forever. Finally, music is also a big part of my life. I listen to many different types of music. For example I love jazz, classical, pop and even rock. Every time that I do my homework I will put my headphones on and listen to the music from my phone. I have more than 800 favourite songs…which also lets me sing in the shower room….do you do that too?
