Passage 1
Hobbies are good for people in many ways. Physical hobbies like playing tennis or
hiking keep our bodies healthy. They can lower stress and improve memory. Creative
hobbies such as painting or writing help us express our feelings. They even make us
more confident.
However, not all hobbies are good. Hobbies with too much screen time, like playing
computer games for hours, can cause eye strain and poor sleep. They may also make
people feel lonely because they are often done alone. Choosing outdoor hobbies is
better—fresh air and time with friends help us relax and build relationships.

Dear Tom,I think you can take up calligraphy as your new hobby. It’s great for
relaxing after study. You can also learn about Chinese culture and improve
your patience.
To start, you need a brush and ink. Practise single strokes first, and don’t give
up easily. You can ask a teacher for help if it’s hard.I hope you’ll enjoy it!
Yours,
Li Hua
