II. Read the text and answer the questions
I started learning English when I was only five years old at my parents' insistence. Back then, I thought it was a Waste of time but now in college being able to speak and understand English is helping me study better. Firstly, because of the supremacy of English - Speaking countries in science and technology, lots of science books and scientific study are published in English. Being a biology student, I’m glad to have English as my second language. Secondly, English is the “official” language of the Internet. More than half of the content on the Internet is written in English. If I didn’t understand English, I wouldn’t be able to use all these information for research and reference. Finally, researches show that learning a new language has improved problem solving skills and memory, Bilingual people like me tend to perform better academically.

Playing a musical instrument
Playing a musical instrument is a great hobby to have. I started playing the piano when I was five years old and still really enjoy it now: it’s a perfect way to relax and cheers me up when I’m feeling down. When I lived at home with my parents, we had a lovely reddish brown piano in the house and I had piano lessons every week. However, when I went to university, I had to leave my family, my home and my piano behind.
I missed playing the piano so much that I spent all the money I got for my eighteenth birthday on a brand new electric piano. It was quite difficult getting it from the music shop to my house: I had to take a friend with me to get it into a taxi and then carry it to the door. I am very glad I bought it though. I was able to play whenever I wanted, using headphones so that I wouldn’t disturb my flatmates. When I was studying or writing an essay, I used to take a break to play something energetically. It really helped ease my frustration! When I was feeling a bit homesick, playing music that I learned on my old piano made me feel better.
