What do you think of Chinese calligraphy ?
Peter: Hey Yaming! What are you up to?
Yaming: Hi Peter. I'm doing calligraphy.
Peter: It's beautiful! What are you writing?
Yaming: It’s a poem by Li Bai. My grandmother taught me how to write it.
Peter: What’s this character?
Yaming: It’s yue. It means “moon”.
Peter: It’s nice! I like watching you write like that. But it looks difficult.
Yaming: Well, the first step is always the hardest. When I started to do calligraphy, I spent hours practising single strokes.
Peter: I know how that feels! My dad’s teaching me to play the guitar. It’s difficult, but he always encourages me not to give up.
Yaming: Exactly. Now I do calligraphy to relax. I even like how the ink smells! Why did you choose to play the guitar?
Peter: I think playing the guitar is cool. Will you teach me to write a poem? I can teach you to play a song in return.
Yaming: It’s a deal!

I enjoy practicing Chinese calligraphy in my spare time. It makes me feel happy to write beautiful characters with a brush. It helps me to focus better when I’m doing my homework. It's a great way to learn more about our traditional culture. When I started to practice calligraphy last term, I thought it was a little difficult, but now I really like it.

I enjoy practicing playing the guitar when I’m free. It makes me feel happy to play pleasant musics with a guitar. It helps me to focus better when I’m working on my school work. It's a wonderful way to feel the charm of music culture. When I began to practice playing the guitar last term, I found it quite challenging at first, but now I really love the feelings it brings.
