Hobbyists raise pets, build model ships, weave bas-kets, or carve soap figures
and so on. In a word, hobbies offer en-joyment, friendship, knowledge and
relaxation.
Then, what is my hobby? Well, what I like most is singing. I began to sing
songs when I was very young. My uncle was studying in a college then, so he
could sing lots of songs, and he taught me several songs. I showed great
interests in the music then, for they were pleasing to ears and easy to sing. My
uncle told me they were called pop songs.
As time went by, I came to realize that my dream wouldn't come true for
there were strict conditions of being a singer. But I still took singing as my hobby since I found in music the interests which
were lost in the exams. When I put all my emotion into singing a song, it gave me very good and very pleasant feelings, and a
good chance to relax. Besides, it was a good way to learn things that couldn't be easily found in life.
Now as I'm saying goodbye to my childhood my voice has changed into a deep male voice, and therefore I can sing a lot of
songs written for adults. I am often deeply moved, by the melody or by what the song writers said. I can feel that these words
come from the bottom of their hearts: "All my best memories come back clearly to me. Some can even make me cry, just
like before. It's yesterday once more. ""Heal the world, make it a place, for you and for me and the entire human race". When
I sing these songs, tears well up in my eyes.
So, this is my hobby, and I hope every one of us can enjoy his own hobby, en joy the simple, good things of life.
