As we know, everybody has different kinds of hobbies that they like to do for fun or just relaxation. Now there are many kinds of activities such as volleyball and basketball. For me, football is my hobby because it’s part of my life and I can’t live without it.
     While I was a little boy, I began to play football in the school team. I played it with my friends in my spare time, too. My mother told me that I liked kicking (踢) the ball around when I was only about two.
     Playing football also helps me to relax when I feel stressed out (有压力的). Playing football also makes me feel healthy and strong. When I play football, I can make good friends with my teammates. I am into football so much that I often watch football matches on TV, too. On weekends, I usually go to the beach and play football there with my friends. We always have a lot of fun.
     In my life, football means a lot to me. I am going to join a city team before this summer comes. How excited I am now!

Dear friends,
    I’m a middle school student. I work hard and I’m good at studying, but I feel unhappy all day, because
I have some problems. I am always stressed out(有压力的), because my parents and teachers all hope
that I can go to a very good university. I have to study from morning to night. On weekends, my parents
don’t let me meet friends or talk with friends on the phone. I can’t play computer games, either. They ask me to have piano lessons every Sunday afternoon. They don’t care whether (是否) I like it or not. Having lessons , doing homework and practicing the piano are all my life. I find it difficult to get relaxed. I really
want to have time to do the things I like , but I don’t know what to do. Can you help me?

                                                                                                                                             A lonely boy
