Hobbies play an important role in our daily life. They can make us happy and help us relax. 1 different people have different hobbies, such as reading, painting, playing sports and so on. My favorite hobby is reading. I fell in love with reading 2 I got my first storybook from my grandma on my 8th birthday.
At first, I read picture books. As I grew older, I started reading novels and science books. Reading 3 (open) up a whole new world for me. Through reading, I can learn a lot of knowledge that I can’t get from school. For example, I know about the mystery of the universe and the history of ancient countries. When I read, I always feel like 4 (talk) to wise people from different times.

It helps her develop her creativity and patience. We often share our hobby experiences 6 each other. When I feel sad or tired, reading a good book can make me feel better. When Lily meets difficulties, painting can help her relax.
Hobbies are not only fun but also helpful. They can make our life more colorful and help us become 7 (good) people. 8 we choose a hobby, we should stick to it. It’s not easy to keep a hobby, but if we never give up, we will benefit a lot. My parents also support my hobby. They often buy new books for me and take me to the library. I hope everyone can find a hobby that they love and enjoy 9 (it). Let’s develop our hobbies and make our life 10 (wonderful) than before.

About 20 minutes later, while I 2 (walk) upstairs, I heard Kevin crying in his room. I knocked on the door and asked, “Kevin, do you want to talk ” There was no answer. I tried again. Still, nothing happened. So, I took a piece of paper and wrote, “If you don’t want to talk, we can write notes to each other.” Then I slipped (使滑动) 3 under the door. An hour later, a note slipped out. As I read it, I began 4 (cry). It said, “Nobody in this family loves me. I am not the youngest nor the oldest, and I am not 5 (smart).

Dear diary,
I was just reading my diary from four years ago.How time flies! Back then,I was so disappointed at being too short and failing to get on the basketball team. I couldn't help laughing at my heart breaking words then. Basketball was really a big deal for me. But things changed soon after that.
I was so hurt by my failure back then, and my friends were all worried.“Why not try something else, like swimming or skiing " suggested my best friend.At first, I swam just to take my mind off things. But soon, I fell completely in love with the sport. I've won several competitions now and I've made a lot of friends. My life has taken a different turn.
