Sample answer
about 115 words · 1 minuteIn my free time, I have several hobbies, but my favourite one is drawing pictures. I started drawing when I was seven years old, and I practice almost every day. I like to draw simple landscapes, animals, and colorful flowers. I keep a large sketchbook and many colored pencils on my desk. Whenever I feel bored or stressed, I sit down and start drawing. It helps me express my feelings and imagination without using words. Sometimes I show my finished drawings to my parents and friends, and they always give me nice compliments. Drawing gives me a feeling of peacefulness and creative satisfaction. I think having a good hobby makes everyday life much more interesting.
