•In my free time, I love cooking, I like swimming and I enjoy listening to music, but I don’t like shopping and I hate running.

I love cooking. I usually cook at home and sometimes at my friends’ houses. I often cook with my mom, sometimes with my friends or with my cousins. I really enjoy cooking because i love eating all kinds of food! I cook every weekend or 3 times a week.

I like swimming because it’s good for my health. I often go swimming at the beach like Doi Duong beach and Mr. Dia Rock beach or at the swimming pool. I often go swimming with my family, my friends, sometimes with my colleagues. I go swimming twice a week.

I really enjoy listening to music because it’s relaxing. I listen to music everywhere like in my room, in the bathroom, at the coffee shop, on the bus, at the beach or in the park. I often listen to music everyday, especially after I get up and before I go to bed. I love Pop, Rock, R n B. My favorite singers are Micheal Jackson, Linkin Park and Whitney Houston. I like many songs like Heal the World by Micheal Jackson, In the End by Linkin Park and I will always love you by Whitney Houston…I often listen to music alone and sometimes with my friends.

•I don’t like shopping because i don't have much money. I go shopping once or twice a month. I prefer window shopping:) Sometimes, I go shopping alone or with some of my friends or with my mom. I often go shopping at the local market, clothes stores/ shops, supermarkets or shopping malls.

I hate running and I never go running because I feel so tired and lazy.
