Since then, I {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(fall) in love with English songs. I spend a lot of my pocket money {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(hunt) for English tapes.

    Whenever I am free, I will turn to my recorder and listen to my favorite songs. I even sing out with the recorder, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (make) me forget my troubles for a while. At the same time I remembered a lot of classical songs, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} helps me to improve my English studies.

    So I benefit {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(great) from my hobbies. What about you?
