It is my favourite free-time activity and a great way to relax myself after a busy day of studying. I started playing the flute when I was nine years old.

I often made mistakes and wanted to give up, but my teacher always encouraged me to keep practising.

I fell in love with it at once because of the fresh air and beautiful scenery. We usually go to the mountain near our city on weekends, and sometimes my best friend Li Ming goes with us. Along the way, we can see colorful beautiful flowers, green trees and hear the birds singing. We often chat happily about our school life and dreams.

As for me, my favourite free-time activity is doing calligraphy, a traditional Chinese hobby that brings me peace and joy. My grandmother taught me to do calligraphy when I was seven, because she wanted me to cultivate good habits. She said calligraphy could help me calm down and cultivate my patience. At first, I spent hours practising single strokes every evening, and it was very boring and tiring. But with my grandmother’s patient guidance and encouragement, I gradually found the fun in it. Now, I do calligraphy every evening after finishing my homework, using a brush and ink. It helps me relax after a busy day of studying, and I even like the special smell of the ink. Doing calligraphy is more than a hobby for me. It teaches me patience and perseverance, and lets me feel the beauty of traditional Chinese culture. I will keep doing it and pass on this traditional hobby. 范文4：Horse Riding — My Best Free-time Activity I first rode a horse when I was six years old, during my summer vacation. I visited my grandfather’s farm that year, and on a sunny afternoon, he took me to ride a gentle horse named Nini. It was such an amazing experience that I fell in love with horse riding at once. Nini is brown with big bright eyes, and she is very friendly to me. Now, I go to my grandfather’s farm every weekend to ride Nini after finishing my homework. Horse riding helps me enjoy the beautiful nature on the farm, with green grass and fresh air around. It also keeps me fit and strong. Most importantly, it lets me spend happy time with Nini, who is my best friend. I often feed her carrots and talk to her, and she always wags her tail happily. I am lucky to have horse riding as my hobby. It brings me happiness and teaches me to love animals. I will keep this hobby and hope to travel to more places to ride horses in the future. 范文5：Painting — A Creative Hobby When work or school is over, painting is my favourite way to pass the time and relax myself. It is a creative hobby that helps me express my true feelings and record beautiful moments in life. I got into painting when I was young, because I saw my mother paint beautiful landscapes every day. I was deeply attracted and decided to give it a go. At first, my paintings were not good—my lines were not straight and my colors were not matching. But I never gave up. I practised painting every day, learned from my mother and watched painting videos online. Now, painting helps me deal with negative emotions when I am upset or tired. I often paint beautiful landscapes, lovely animals or interesting things around me to remember the good moments. Sometimes I show my paintings to my family and friends, and they always praise me. Painting is a meaningful hobby for me. It not only brings me joy but also helps me grow. I believe that as long as I keep painting, I will become better and better at it. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
