THIS IS MY HOBBY

If I had to say it what my hobby
is, I suppose the answer would
|
|
00
|
‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑
|
have
to be reading. It all started in early childhood when my
|
|
41
|
‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑
|
father used to enjoy much making
up stories for my brother and
|
|
42
|
‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑
|
myself.
This was a hugely popular every night at bedtime. As we
|
|
43
|
‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑
|
grew older, we turned to books
and by the time I was ten, I had
|
|
44
|
‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑
|
a
large collection of these children's literature. Ever since I can
|
|
45
|
‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑
|
remember, I have read about a
book a week and I am get through
|
|
46
|
‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑
|
lots
and lots of such magazines too. I especially enjoy reading in bed
|
|
47
|
‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑
|
and if I am really enjoying a
book, I will stay up all night to finish it. But
|
|
48
|
‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑
|
I
also tend to fill my spare up time with reading. You will often see
|
|
49
|
‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑
|
me reading on the bus, for
example, or if I am waiting from in a queue.
|
|
50
|
‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑
|
I
never go anywhere without have something to read. I actually
|
|
51
|
‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑
|
collect magazines and I have a
room at home filled with them. I even
|
|
52
|
‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑
|
buy
magazines written in languages that I don't know them, just for
|
|
53
|
‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑
|
the pleasure given of looking at
the pictures and seeing the way
|
|
54
|
‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑
|
how
they are designed. It will come as no great surprise, therefore,
|
|
55
|
‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑
|
if I will tell you that my main
ambition in life is to become an editor.
