My hobbies I want to tell you about my hobbies. Well, I like to do sport. My favourite sport is skiing in winter. I really love it and I have been skiing since I was a little child. Unfortunately it is very expensive and also a bit dangerous. I have injured myself three times. Twice on my hands and once I had a mild concussion. Since that happened I now always wear a helmet. The other time of winter I use my cross trainer almost every day. I always watch a DVD with english subtitles while I train on it. So it is not that boring and I kill two birds with one stone (is this phrase right, I found it in my translator, I think it sounds a bit brutal?) So, when it is finaly spring time then I go jogging as often as I used my cross trainer in winter. While I am running it clears all my thoughts and takes away all my stress. Unfortunately the problems are still there when we come back home. So you see you can never run away from your problems even if we run very fast. I also like to draw or paint pictures. Maybe when I am dead once I will be famous then :-D. Because all the famous painter became famous when they were already dead. So these are my hobbies, thank you for your correction in advance :-)

My hobbies

I want to tell you about my hobbies. I like to do sport, and my favourite sport is skiing, in winter. I really love it and I have been skiing since I was a child (note: 'little' is unnecessary, if you were a child we know you would have been little ;) ). Unfortunately it is very expensive, and also a bit dangerous. I have injured myself three times; twice on my hands, and I once had a mild concussion. Since that happened, I have always worn a helmet.
In winter I also use my cross trainer almost every day, and I always watch a DVD with english subtitles while I train on it. This makes it less boring, and I kill two birds with one stone (yes, this phrase is perfectly correct here!).
When it is finally spring time, I go jogging as often as I used my cross trainer in winter. Running clears all my thoughts and takes away all my stress. Unfortunately the problems are still there when I come back home...so you see, you can never run away from your problems even if you run very fast.

I also like to draw or paint pictures. Maybe once I am dead I will be famous, because all the famous painters became famous after they died.


Good job, I was REALLY picky about the corrections I made because in general your text was pretty correct. You could make your sentences longer though, to help everything flow better - don't be afraid of using commas! Hope this helps you!
