What do you like doing in your free time? I cannot give an exact

depends on the weather. I can’t stand watching TV when it is
sunny. Indoor activities are not very me. Instead, I like taking
Sally
photos. I enjoy being physically active. What do I like most when it
is rainy? This is awesome! I really like staying home and watching
TV. Watching a cookery program is my cup of tea because it helps
to ease up stress.

I have lots of various hobbies, but I can’t decide which one I
like most. I’m really into creating new things. For example, I’m
interested in knitting. Personally, I think this is a great hobby.
Jane Also, I have a passion for pottery. It makes me relaxed. Candle
making is also great. It’s exciting and fun. I usually spend about
three hours a day on it. On the other hand, I’m not cut out for
collecting things because I am very forgetful and I can lose them.
