5. Talk about your favourite sport
I would like to talk about a sport that I particularly enjoy and have been practising for a few years. It is basketball. For me, this is not only a sport or a physical exercise but also an ideal way for me to relieve of stress and to make new friends.
I first knew about basketball when I was a little kid through a video game called NBA 2k8. However, at that time I did not play badminton at all, partly because I was not an active kid who was aware of the critical importance of physical exercises. When I went to high school, a lot of my friends were a big fan of basketball and my high school offered big playgrounds for sports activities, therefore I practised basketball much more often.
I usually play basketball in the weekends and watch NBA on the nights when my favorite team, the Los Angeles Lakers play. I often go to sports centres with a number of my classmates for basketball matches. Sometimes we even participate in local league, didn’t accomplish anything big but it was extremely fun.
For me, basketball is a good way to help me pursue a healthy lifestyle. It is also an affordable type of sport as you do not have to buy a lot of specialised sports materials. Finally, playing basketball enables me to develop a number of important and non-academic skills such as discipline, team-work, problem-solving and co-operation.
The main source of energy at present is fossil fuel.
Some alternative sources of energy are wave energy, solar energy, biofuels, natural gas, geothermal power, wind energy, biomass energy, tidal energy, hydrogen gas, etc.
Their advantages are that they are renewable and is most likely to never run out. Also, they are easier to find than fossil fuels. They produce little or no waste that is harmful to the environment like carbon dioxide or methane so they are more environmentally friendly. Their disadvantages are that they don't produce as much energy/electricity as fossil fuels. Another disadvantage is that they rely on their surrounding. For example, wind energy needs to be generated at a windy location and needs wind turbines that take up a lot of space or solar energy needs to be generated at a sunny area and needs lots of solar panels.

4. Hobbies
My favourite hobby is reading. I enjoy reading a book when I am free. I started to do it when I was four years old. The first time I did it, I felt interested. So I kept reading. The teachers always taught me to read the difficult words. I was happy when I read a story with a happy ending. I was thrilled when I read a detective story. I enjoy reading because I like to explore the imaginative world of my favourite author, J.K.Rowling who writes “ Harry Potter” . There are a lot of advantages of reading. Reading can make me relaxed and calm. I can also learn new vocabulary items. Then I can further improve my English. Moreover, it can give me an unlimited imagination, so I can write books in the future. I can learn the different cultures and customs of other countries in the world too. I read at least one hour every day. I read books by myself. I usually read it at home. I wish I could read different kinds of books because it might be very challenging.
