our favourite sport. Use
I really love cycling, so I go out every day
and sometimes twice a day! My sister often
comes with me. I think the best race is the
Tour de France. The race is in France, but the
competitors are from a lot of different countries.
There are some excellent cyclists this year, but
my favourite (and my hero) is Lance Armstrong.
I like the race because it's a tough and dangerous
event. Two years ago, there were a lot of
accidents. Some cyclists were badly hurt. Last
year the route was easier, so there weren't any
serious accidents. I usually watch the Tour de
France on TV. I'd like to go to France next year!

Tennis: When I play tennis, all my stress goes away. Like everything negative in my life doesn’t exist during my matches and I only focus on tennis. Hitting a good shot is one of the best feelings. Winning a match after hours of practice makes me incredibly happy. I just played tennis for a couple hours with my mom today and it was really fun. My tennis season at school ended a while ago, so I’ve gotten lazier and didn’t play tennis for a while. Recently, I’ve started to play more and it made me more productive.

Art: Drawing or painting is extremely relaxing to me because there are no rules. I can do whatever I want. If I want to draw a pregnant unicorn, I can. By the way, I did draw that. I don’t really know how to explain it exactly. It’s just fun to me.

Guitar: I usually learn songs that I listen to and help me relax. I just played a bunch of Vance Joy songs for about an hour or two without realizing. It’s like when you’re binging a tv show. Except, I say, “Okay, just one more song.”
