My pastime[s]

Today I want to tell you about my pastime[s].
Most of all I like reading. My favourite books are historical novels especially English novels. Jane Austen is my favourite authoress.
Besides I like the  poems of [Russian authors like] Ahmatova, Cvetaeva, Esenin and others.

Note: In its original form Esenin could be a person who just happens to write in Russian rather than a Russian author.

I like music [particularly ] classical [and] latino. I like [to] listen to Spanish guitar and Irish music.

[My tastes in ] Russian music. Elena Vaenga is my favourite singer. She is an actress[] too. Her performance [in] "Free married couple" is very modern and interesting (I will write about it later).

[A] month ago I [started] to learn  belly danc[ing]. It's not easy but it's very elegantl[]. My instructor [] inspires me.

Besides I like embroidering and knitting, walking and roller-skating. I like to spend time with with my relatives and friends.

Note: You should look at Project Gutenberg as you will find a lot of old English works there.
