1. Things I like to do

I have many interests. The activities I spend most of my leisure on, however, are reading, jogging and painting.

I enjoy reading very much. I read widely, ranging from fairy tales to non-fiction books on outer space and nature. Reading helps to widen my general knowledge and improves my my writting skill. Therefore, my parents think well of my hobby and often buy me books that I can not find in the library.

When my eyes get tired from reading too much, I would go for a slow jog with my dog in the park near my house. Jogging regularly makes one healthier. I have also made a few friends among the regular joggers in the park.

Sometimes, instead of jogging, I would stroll in the park, carrying with me my painting equipment. I love to capture beautiful thing on paper. I have taken arts lesson since I was nine and I am especially good at water-colour painting. Besides painting pictures of the park, I also like to draw portrait of my family members.

All my interests are funny and useful pastimes. I believe that everyone should spend their time on some useful hobbies rather than laze precious time away.
