Real talk
Hello, Steve, what do you like to do in your free time? Do you have any hobbies?

Well, most of the time I like to spend time with my family at home, we have fun together.
besides that, I like to go to the gym 3 times a week, I like to read every day for at least 15
minutes, I also play volleyball on weekends with my friends, sometimes I do volunteer
work in my neighborhood but to be honest part of my free time I like to watch movies and
tv series.

Going to the gym I believe that it helps me to stay fit and it improves my health, that’s
why I really do it every week. I am trying to convince my girlfriend to go with me, but she
is working very much at her job, so she can’t go right now.

Reading is really important to keep my mind healthy and also I learn a lot from the books
I read. Sometimes I feel like traveling in my mind even though I know I am at home.
Reading gives me knowledge to put into practice in my real life, definitely it is a great
hobby.

About playing sports on weekends, I believe that it’s the best way to relieve my stress
from my busy week at work. My friends and I have a lot of fun together, they are amazing.

Doing volunteer work is something that makes me happy, because I consider myself lucky
to have many opportunities in my life, so I try to give it back to some people that I can
help in my community.

My friend, I have to say that, maybe my favorite hobby is watching movies and tv series
with my family, it helps to rest, it makes me happy, I spend time with the people I love and
of course we usually eat a lot! I love my family very much.
