I have some of hobbies. But today, I’d like to tell you about one of my favourite hobbies.
My favourite hobby is reading. I began/ started this hobby when I was 6 years old. I still remember the first book I read, which was about a lazy rabit. I was so excited when I read that book, so I kept reading. I enjoy reading because it develops my imagination. It also widens my knowledge. I can understand why a nation has its name or what causes natural disasters. Moreover, it helps me connect with other students because there is a book club at my school. We gather once a week to share what we read.
2. HEALTH

I’d like to tell you about HEALTH. There ia a famous saying: “Health is much more precious than money.” In order to have good health and keep fit, I usually do exercise and play sports every day. My favourite sport is jogging in the morning and playing badminton in the afternoon. By practicing these sports regularly, I always feel healthy and never get sick. Moreover, seafood like fish and vegetables plays a very important role for the growth and good health of the body. Besides I often eat food that contains lots of proteins, calciums and vitamins. Try to keep a clear mind in a healthy body and get accustomed to regular practice of certain sports, we`ll feel life worth living.

3. COMMUNITY SERVICE

I’d like to tell you about my volunteer work. My classmates and I have taken part in the Green Group of our school. The Green Group is holding an environment month plan. We have planted trees and flowers in the school yard and water them every afternoon after class. We are going to clean the streets and the banks of the lakes next weekend. We hope we can give more green colours to our school and make the environment in the neighbourhood cleaner and more attractive. We think the program is interesting and useful. In addition, volunteering is a great way for us to have fun and feel closer.
4. YOUR KIND OF MUSIC AND ARTS
I think most of us love listening to music because of many reasons. First of all, it helps us relax. When we organize a party, music is in the center of our interest. We choose the best songs and play them to make the atmosphere much better. Secondly, music can make us more interesting and funnier. Moreover, music might give us inspiration and also can help us concentrate when we learn or do some important projects. To sum up, music plays great role in our lives. It gives us a lot of benefits. Listening to music in the car or bus when we go to school or work helps us to relax and start a new day in a good way. In addition, music is like medicine for us when the weather is bad and we do not feel good. I think everyone should have their favourite kind of music because life is much easier when music is with us.

5. VIETNAMESE FOOD/ DISH

I’m going to tell you about my favourite food.
As you know, Vietnam is a tropical country. There are a lot of tropical foods.
My favourite food is beef noodle soup(the Vietnamese name is PHO). It is made from rice noodles, beef and broth. We can enjoy PHO for all kinds of meals during the day. I usually have beef noodle soup in the morning. Whenever I eat beef noodle soup, it always makes me have a special taste.

We always have a happy time when we enjoy PHO at home.
