3. What are the similarities between Yaming’s and Peter’s hobbies
The similarities are that both hobbies are difficult at the beginning.
4. What do you think “The first step is always the hardest” means
It means when we begin something new or hard, the start is usually the most difficult part. Once we get through that start and keep going, it’ll get easier.
5. How do you usually feel when you manage to do something difficult Give an example. （答案不唯一）
When I manage to do something difficult, I usually feel a great sense of achievement and pride. For example, when I first learned to ride a bicycle, it was really hard to keep my balance. But after practising a lot, finally I was able to ride smoothly. I felt so happy and proud of myself.

Identifying facts and opinions

Hobbies That Are Good for You
When work or school is over, what do you do to pass the time Do you spend time on hobbies you love Reading or listening to music can help us to calm down after a busy day. Physical hobbies, such as playing tennis or doing yoga, can help us to keep fit. And some hobbies are creative. For example, people sometimes paint pictures to remember a beautiful landscape or object, or reduce stress.
