Things I like to do

I have many interests. The activities I spend most of my
leisure on, however, are reading, jogging and painting.

I enjoy reading very much. I read widely, ranging from
fairytales to nonfiction books on outer space and nature.
Reading helps to widen my general knowledge and
improve my writing skill. Therefore, my parents think well
of my hobby and often buy me books that I cannot find in
the library.

When my eyes get tired from reading too much, I would go
for a slow jog with my dog in the park near my house.
Jogging regularly makes one healthier. I have also made a
few friends among the regular joggers in the park.

Sometimes, instead of jogging, I would stroll in the park,
carrying with me my painting equipment. I love to capture
beautiful things on paper. I have taken art lessons since I
was nine and I am especially good in water-color painting.
Besides painting pictures of the park, I also like to draw
portraits of my family members.

All my interests are fun and useful pastimes. I believe that
everyone should spend their time on some useful hobby
rather than laze precious time away.

have time for
Things I would like to do but am unable to or do not have

time for

First of all, I would like to be able to drive car.
Unfortunately I am not able to because I am under aged. I
have to wait until I am seventeen years old before I can
apply for a license. So I have to be patient and wait until I
am eligible.

Another thing I would like to do is to participate in the 100
meter in the Olympics, and win it. This is just a wild dream
for my physique does not allow me even to win a 100
meter race in my school. So the Olympics is an
impossibility.

One thing that I can do but have no time for, just yet, is to
hitch-hike around the country. Right now I am so busy
studying for my examinations that I hardly have time for
anything else. Perhaps when I leave school in a year or
so, I will get on the road and see things a bit. They say
that travel is a good way to learn things. I do not know that
for sure, so I am going to find out, that is, if my mother
allows me to do so in the first place.

Talking of travel makes me dream of traveling around the
world to visit interesting places, to meet people and
thoroughly to enjoy myself. However, I can see that, for
the time being, it is impossible for me to do such a thing
simply because I do not have the means. World-travel
costs money, lots of it. Right now I do not even have
enough for a bus ticket to Penang. So traveling around the

world is out of the question. Even if someone were to pay
my way, I would not be able to go because I have to finish
school first, or incur my mother’s wrath.

Finally, I would like to be able to eat everything I fancy and
not put on weight. I am one of those less fortunate ones
who can put on weight just by thinking about food. I am
not exaggerating of course. The point is that it is easy for
me to put on weight and I have to watch my diet. I cannot
simply eat or I will suffer.
