Mes loisirs
Il y a beaucoup de choses que j’aime faire quand j’ai du temps.
Mon premier loisir préféré c’est la lecture.
D’habitude je lis des livres électroniques parce que je peux les avoir toujours sur moi, je peux donc lire partout, par exemple, dans le métro.
J’aime Presque tous les genres.
J’aime lire des livres en version originale, c’est pourquoi je lis souvent en anglais et en français.
Mon deuxième loisir préféré ce sont les langues etrangères.
J’aime vraiment les apprendre et je le fais par moi meme.
C’est comme ça que j’ai appris le français et maintenant j’apprends l’italien.
C’est la musique qui m’aide beaucoup.
J’aime aussi les sports.
Je pratique la natation.
En été, je fais du vélo et en hiver, je patine.
J’adore aussi regarder les compétitions à la télé.
Je ne manque jamais les competitions de patinage artistique et d’athlétisme.
Je regarde aussi le foot.
