Aroa's Hobbie

My favourite hobbie is reading, I try to read as much as I can all days.

I really like it because it have many pros:
-You don't need an equipment or a special place, like in sports.
-You can choose between a lot of kinds of themes.
-You can take your book wherever you want, and if you preffer download it in PDF, for have it on your mobile or in you iPad.
-You learn new vocabulary.

I got my own library in my house, in every single room we got books.
In my bedroom are some action and science fiction books, because I think they are more exciting and entretaining for when I'm borried.
I usually choose books about utopias, that have catastrophic futures, invented places and characters with streghts personalities, I enjoy it more if it makes me think and solve the problems in the history.

But sometimes I like to read some poetry books, I have a lot, they are really different of my usual list, are more relaxing and they talk about deep themes. One of my favourite poetry autors is Charles Bukowski.

  In conclusion, I really love it!

My hobby

Writing: My hobby

My hobby is swimming. When I was a child I loved the water and I went to the beach with my family every summer. My dad taught me how to swim, but  I learnt in a course much more. At first, I was afraid but after two lessons I was happy. We played a lot of games and the teachers were very nice.

Now I only swim in summer when I have holidays, I never practice it in the winter and autumn because I don't have time enough. Ever summer I go to the beach in Badalona and in Morroco, too. I like the sand in Morroco's beach because is very, very  fine and white.

In the future I will sign up in a swimming pool near my house all year. I would like  often swimming. If I am rich in the future I would like have a big swimming pool only for me and I will travel to Hawai.
