Transcript
1 I’ve always loved photography, and used my dad’s camera for ages. I’ve taken loads of photos with it, but it’s a bit old fashioned. I’ve never had a really good camera. Anyway, I finally bought a new one a couple of weeks ago. Now I’ll be able to take some really good pictures. My other hobby is gymnastics – I do it at a local club with other teenagers. I love being part of the team. The only problem I have is that I don’t do gymnastics or photography as much as I’d like to. I’m so busy with homework and other things.
2 I’ve always loved going to the ice-rink and not long ago I took up ice hockey. I’m still a beginner, but I really enjoy it. I’ve got my own skates and my parents gave me a stick for my birthday last month, so I don’t have to borrow one from the club any more. I used to only like individual sports, ones that you do on your own, like running. But now I much prefer to be part of a team.
6. Write about two sports and activities you enjoy doing. Say where and when you do them and why you enjoy them.
