My favourite hobbies

-

I like my hobbies because I can do them almost every day. I have three hobbies and they are very fun to do.

My rst hobby is reading. I think it is fun to read. I like to read books such as The Famous Five’, Dork Diaries’, Diary of a Wimpy id’, Heidi Heckelbeck’, Secret ingdom’ and Secret Princesses’. I like books not only because they keep me entertaine­d but they also improve my vocabulary too.

My second hobby is playing badminton. I like playing badminton because it is the only sporty exercise I can do at home without going somewhere and because

I can do it outdoors. I have a big garden and a front yard big enough for playing badminton. All I need is a shuttlecoc­k, two rackets with no ruined nets, someone to play with, then I am ready.

My third hobby is singing. I can sing indoors and outdoors, there is no difference at all To me, singing is very entertaini­ng.

I don’t just like to sing, I also like to hear others sing. My favourite singers are all girls. They are Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga. I think singing is a very pleasant sound to hear. People often tell me that I have a good singing voice and I really hope that’s true, although I can’t sing parts of songs that are either too low or too high.

Now it is time to say which hobby I love the most. If I had to pick one, it would be reading. I like reading more because I can peacefully sit and read. I like playing badminton but the shuttlecoc­k sometimes goes over the wall into our neighbours garden and we have to wait till the day after tomorrow for our neighbour to nd it and throw it over. I like to sing but like I said, I can’t sing low or high pitched songs, so some of the songs I know, I can’t sing.
