    Different people have different hobbies. I have a lot of hobbies. I like reading books, listening to music and so on.

    I like reading books because I can get some useful information and find some interesting things from books. So I like reading different kinds of books. I also like listening to pop music. I usually listen to music in my free time. It can make me relaxed and let me forget my unhappy moments.
