Me and My Besties
Hi, everyone! I’m Sandra. Today, I want to share a little about my amazing friends—Jack, Emily and
Chris—and their hobbies. Jack is the adventurous one of the group. He loves hiking and exploring new
things every weekend. He always wants us to go with him, and I must admit, I’m starting to like hiking. He
never wants to spend time indoors. Emily is our creative spirit. She is keen on embroidery and spends
her evenings crafting beautiful designs. She doesn’t like watching TV shows. I admire how she can turn
a simple piece of fabric into a work of art! Then there’s Chris, who is incredibly talented at sculpture. He
spends hours in his studio, shaping clay into beautiful pieces. Recently, he has taken up pottery, and now
he loves them both. It’s wonderful to see him explore new things. I love to spend time with my friends. I
don’t like being alone much, but when I am alone, I usually spend time on writing my blog as I do now. I
like gardening too, but writing is always my favourite.
That’s a short view of my friends’ lives! What hobbies do you and your friends enjoy? Let me know in the
comments!
a. Emily prefers ……………………………… to ……………………………… .
b. When Sandra isn’t with her friends, she likes .......................................... the most.
c. Chris enjoys ……………………………… and ……………………………… .
d. ……………………………… fancies hiking more than staying at home.
e. Sandra prefers ……………………………… rather than ……………………………… .
