THIS IS MY HOBBY
0	‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑	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.
