开始喜欢
I have many free-time activities, like painting, writing poems, and reading. But my favourite free-time activity is horse riding. When I was six, I visited my grandfather's farm, and he took me to ride a horse. It was such an amazing experience! Now I do it at his farm every weekend with my favourite horse, Nini. I love horse riding because I enjoy being in nature. Horse riding also helps me stay fit. But most importantly, it lets me spend time with Nini! She's my best friend. She's happy to see me whenever I visit, especially when I bring her some carrots for a snack! I'm lucky to have her in my life.

Different people have different free-time activities. Some people like reading, while others enjoy collecting stamps.
My favourite free-time activity is travelling. It's a wonderful way for me to relax and explore. It allows me to visit many interesting places and try delicious local food. What's more, I gain a deeper understanding of different cultures and their history. It is really interesting and fun.
A great man once said, “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page. Travelling makes my life colourful and full of stories.

Making Better Use of Time
_________________________________________________________________________
Making Better Use of Time
As a junior high school student, I now have more free time than before, especially at the weekend. During my free time, I enjoy different activities. I love playing football and often go to the park with my friends for a game. I also take piano lessons twice a week. In the evenings, I make sure to exercise for half an hour. Sometimes, my parents and I go outside to watch stars.
I believe I am making good use of my free time because I do things I enjoy. What's more, I keep a good balance between studying and having fun.
