 I’m interested in listening to music because my study was quite stressful and
tiring. In my free time I love to wear headphones and enjoy the tunes that I
love. I like music that has a light and cheerful melody because it helps me
forget the pressure and helps me feel more optimistic. If you want to relax
after long hours of studying or working, listening to music is also a good
idea. In general, I love listening to music. That’s all. Thank you for you’re

My favorite sport is badminton - a very popular sport with everyone.
Badminton is a sport in which two or four people hit a shuttlecock (=
a light object with feathers) over a high net. Points are scored by striking the
shuttlecock with the racquet and landing it within the opposing side's half of
the court. This is a sport that is easy to play and suitable for many ages, it
helps people improve their health and fitness. So I love this sport very much.

move in traffic jams and can take shortcuts to save time. Although it is a bit
difficult to move with erratic rainy weather, motorbikes are still the first

are suitable for everyone's economy. That’s all. Thank you for you’re
