There are many different activities to do in my free time, but I love reading books the
most. My father used to take me to bookstores on the weekends when I was a little girl,
so I could pick out my favorite comic books. He also purchased some bedtime
storybooks, and he read them to me every night. That was a wonderful memory. I keep
the hobby as a habit even now. I now enjoy reading books such as novels and science
fiction. Novel stories take me to another world as if I were on a magical journey with


Harry Potter, Robinson Crusoe or Tom Sawyer. I can also learn more about the world,
and I could explain such things as why apples always fall to the ground or why there is
often a rainbow after the rain. I sometimes read books in my room, but I prefer going to
my school library. I can borrow many books without having to pay any money. I
particularly enjoy the moment when everyone's attention is drawn to the books in their
hands. The library is quiet and everyone appears to get lost in their exciting world.
Reading is an exciting free time activity that I enjoy.
