| << I prefer to spend in my house for my leisure activities. I don't have many outdoor hobbies. Of course I love some outdoor activities such as snowboarding and swimming. But I can't enjoy these outdoor activities in my daily free time. Using my daily free time, I practice English or create a website. Sometimes I go for a shopping or watch a movie with my friends, but that can also said to be indoor activities. So I prefer to spend inside rather than going outside in my free time. Practicing English is one of my major hobbies. I began it 3 years ago. Since then, I enjoy practicing English for one hour a day. That may be a short time for an English learner. But for me, one hour practice a day is sufficient enough, because I can enjoy in the one hour to the full. When I first began to practice English, I didn't have a personal computer. Instead, I enjoyed listening to the radio. In my country, many English learners listen to a program of NHK, a Japanese broadcast center. I also enjoyed listening to some pragrams of NHK. Last year, I bought a personal computer. Using my personal computer, I began to listen to some foreign news on line. Recently, using half an hour of the one hour, I began to practice my writing skills. At the same time, I created a website for the writing practice. The URL of the website is as follows, "www.oocities.org/toeflec". In the website, I write an essay about TOEFL's writing topics. I practice it with some of my friends met on the net. Of course, sometimes I go outside with my friends. But in most cases, we go for a shopping or watch a movie or eat in a restaurant. These activities can be said to be inside activities. Though, I also love outdoor activities, in my daily leisure time, I spend most of the time for inside activities. |
