help sb do sth 帮助某人做某事
When work or school is over, what do you do to pass the time Do you spend time on your hobbies 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.
Luca Bruno likes to be creative in his free time. But he doesn’t make art or write stories. Instead, this Italian teenager finds it fun to make mobile phone apps. He thinks that apps can be a great way to help people. He started programming when he was ten, after he read about famous businessmen who started out as programmers. His latest app allows people around the world to find study partners for learning Italian. They can learn Italian and make friends at the same time!

Some people prefer not to make things. They prefer to collect them! In India, Maya Badal doesn’t collect coins or stamps. Instead, this teenage girl collects postcards!
“I know some people think postcards are rather old-fashioned, but I think they’re a good way to learn about different places,” Maya says. “I think it’s interesting to see the beautiful buildings and landscapes in foreign countries.”

What is your favourite free-time activity When I was six, I visited my grandfather’s farm, and he took me to ride a horse. It was such an amazing experience! Now I ride my favourite horse, Nini, at his farm every weekend.
I love horse riding because I enjoy being in nature. Horse riding also helps me stay fit. But most importantly, it lets me spend time with Nini! She’s my best friend. She’s happy to see me whenever I visit, especially when I bring her some carrots for a snack! I’m lucky to have her in my life.
