My name’s Susan. I have two favorite hobbies. My first hobby is reading. I started to do
it when I was four years old. The first time I did it, I felt interested. So I kept reading. I
enjoy reading because it can make me relaxed and calm. Moreover, it can give me an
imagination, so I can write books in the future. I can learn the different cultures and
customs of other countries in the world, too.
My second hobby is gardening. I have made a small garden and planted many beds of
flowers. In the spring season, my garden is full of beautiful flowers. I have a separate plot
for vegetables – carrots, potatoes, etc. In the evening, I water the plants and remove the
weeds. I love sitting in my garden and reading my books. It is very pleasant to be there!
