MY HOBBY
Every weekend I swim with my friends in a small river flowing across my village. And I find it my real hobby when I have free time. Usually late in the morning, we gather under a big old mangrove tree where we get undressed and divide ourselves into two groups andc hoose the game we like. If the tide is high, we hold a swimming contest or play “hide and seek” under the water. Rain or sun, it does not matter. We play very happily and sociably. If the tide is low, two groups of us play “throw mud to each other”. At the end of the games all the players are covered with mud, all






over the body! It is said that hobby can be changed when time goes by. However, we really enjoy swimming and playing in my small river very much.
