Four Treasures of Study
Maybe he likes doing calligraphy.
Calligraphy is a traditional Chinese art of beautiful writing. It uses the "Four Treasures of the Study"(文房四宝): brush(笔), ink(墨), paper(纸) and inkstone(砚). Practiced for centuries, it’s not just writing but a way to relax and express culture.
3a
Read the conversation. Circle Peter’s and Yaming’s free-time activities.
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!

Yaming and Peter have different but interesting free-time activities.
Yaming likes doing calligraphy. His grandmother taught him how to write it. The first step is always the hardest. When he started to do calligraphy, he spent hours practising single strokes. Now he does it to relax, and he even enjoys the smell of the ink. However, Peter’s hobby is playing the guitar. His dad is his instructor. Peter thinks playing the guitar is cool.
