My favorite leisure activity is reading. I like reading because it is a hobby that is useful and interesting: useful because you can find a lot of knowledge of all areas that you need; interesting because the books can give you joy and help you relax after a day of toil etc... 
At the age of ten, I was awarded "The Scarlet Sails" by my grandfather. It is the first book that I have been to. My love for books began.
I usually spend almost my free time choosing the book with my friends, participate in discussions on the forum, and reading (of course!). Every weekend and all holidays when I have no work to do, I often read books and ruminate on them. I also help some friends can select the genres of books that they like.
I always hope that I will have my own library in the future. I love books very much and perhaps, I couldn't live without them.

At weekends , I have much free time , so I usually spend it on relaxing to prepare for a coming busy week . First of all , in my free time , I like playing some sports , such as soccer , badminton or basketball , with my friends . Sport not only makes me stronger but also connects me with my friends who have the same hobbies . We sometimes go riding in order that we can combine sporting activity and sightseeing . If the weather is not fine enough for me to hang out with my friends, I like to read books. I have a big bookshelf with many kinds of books but I prefer science books.
