Sample 1:

My favourite hobby is reading; therefore, I have collected various types of books. I started reading fairy tales when I was four years old. At first, I was interested in colorful pictures with meaningful content. When reading a story with a happy ending, I felt very happy. Reading books brings me a lot of benefits. Firstly, it makes me relaxed and calm. After a hard-working day, I can relieve stress by reading a funny story. I also learn new vocabulary items. Then I can further improve my English. Moreover, it can give me an unlimited imagination, so I can write books in the future. I can learn the different cultures and customs of other countries in the world too. I read books at least one hour every day. I wish I could read different kinds of books because it might be very challenging.

When I have free time, I usually listen to music. Except school time, music lives with me for almost the rest of the day. I listen to it when I am on the bus, when I do the house chores, or even when I am taking a shower, and whenever I feel like I need it. Music is always a new thing, because it changes each day. Some of my favorite types are Pop, Country, Ballad, and Dance. Each of them gives me a different feeling, so I choose the songs to listen to according to my current mood. I listen to Pop songs when I am comfortable and happy, Country and Ballad is for relaxing, and Dance is for when I want to move my body. Sometimes when I go outside, I just put my playlist on shuffle mode, and it is very interesting not to know about the upcoming song. I do have some of my favorite singers, and I usually download their whole album to my phone. Music helps me to relax, cheer up my mood, and ease my nerves after a long exhausting day. Since it does not take too much of my time, effort and money, I will feel free to consider it as my favorite activity of all time.

Sample 3:

My hobby is swimming. It is also my favorite sport since I was little. Swimming has four main strokes, which are crawl stroke, breaststroke, back crawl stroke, and butterfly stroke. My favorite swimming style is breaststroke. I go to the swimming pool three or four times a week. Because I want to achieve good results, I practice a lot. Swimming also brings lots of advantages for human’s health. It helps me keep fit. With swimming, I can burn 25% of my body’s fat. Besides that, with swimming I can be free from asthma. Swimming also keeps you safe in the water. Swimming is interesting and pleasant, it is a good choice for a hobby.

Sample 4:

Cooking has been my hobby for several years. My grandmother taught me how to cook my first dish when I was 8. She was a professional chef and owned her own restaurant. Some people say cooking is a waste of time but I find this hobby very interesting and meaningful. Whenever I feel sad or upset, cooking eases that for me in a big way, because I will have very little time to think when I am cooking. Cooking is challenging my mind and taking my mind off the stress of everyday life. Another advantage is that it enables me to expand my creativity. I have invested hours of my time per day to get more knowledge about different cooking methods. I hope I will become a good chef and have my own cookery book in the future.

I will try my best to earn lots of money to continue collecting more shoes in the future.
