Many students have hobbies, like reading, painting and looking {#blank#}1{#/blank#} animals. Some hobbies are relaxing and others are creative. Hobbies can make you {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (grow) as a person, develop your interests and help you learn new skills.

    David Smith is a student, and his hobby {#blank#}3{#/blank#} writing. During the summer of 2011, he spent four weeks on a summer camp. As well as the usual activities, such {#blank#}4{#/blank#} sailing, climbing and mountain biking, there was a writing workshop with a professional writer. "She asked us {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(imagine) that we were in a story. Then we wrote about our experience at the camp."

    In senior high school, David wrote a book about teenage life. Many teenagers love his book, and as a result, David has become a {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (success) young writer.

    David has been very {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (luck) because his hobby has brought enjoyment and success to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (he), but he is also interested in many other things. "I like playing volleyball, too," says David. "I spend some of my free time {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (play) volleyball for my school team. Maybe I'll write more books in the future, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} I'm not sure."

    There are many other interesting things to do in life, and we should try to do something new or different.
