There are many different activities to do in my free time, but I love reading the most. My father used to take
me to the 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 Porter, 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 and 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 quite, and everyone
appears to get lost in their exciting world. Reading is an exciting free time activity I enjoy.
