My Hobby
My hobby is reading. I read story
books, magazines, newspapers and any kind of material that I find interesting.
This hobby got started when I was a little boy. I had always
wanted my parents to read fairy tales and other stories to me. Soon they got
fed up and tired of having to read to me continually. So as soon as I could, I
learned to read. I started with simple ABC books. Soon I could read simple
fairy tales and other stories. Now I read just about anything that is
available.
Reading enables me to learn about so many things that I
would otherwise not know. I learned about how people lived in bygone days of magic and mystery.
I learned about the wonders of the world, space travel, human achievements,
gigantic whales, tiny viruses and other fascinating things of our world.
The wonderful thing about reading is that I do not have to
learn things the hard way. For example, I do not have to catch a disease to
know that it can kill me. I know the danger so I can avoid it. Also I do not
have to go deep into the jungle to learn about the tiger. I can read all about
it in a book.
Books provide the reader with so much information and facts.
They have certainly helped me in my daily life. I am better equipped to cope
with living. Otherwise I would go about ignorantly learning things the hard
way.
