 HOMEWORK
DON’T FORGET TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK!
Let me tell you about my family and what they like to do in their free
time. My dad is really good at playing volleyball. He's on a team and
they often play matches on weekends. However, he's not interested in
math at all. My mom, on the other hand, enjoys solving math
problems. She takes lessons online to improve her skills. She also
loves reading books and belongs to a book club where she gets
together with her friends to discuss different stories. My older brother is
a sports lover. He's always playing tennis or basketball with his
friends at the park. He's not really into books, but he loves watching
television and playing video games. As for me, I enjoy spending time
outdoors. I often go hiking in the mountains or riding my bike in the
park. I'm not a big fan of shopping, but I do enjoy reading magazines.
Overall, we all have our own hobbies and interests that keep us
entertained and happy.
