LevelA1 (Beginner)Words159Reading time2 min

Hello, I am Yusuf. After school and at the weekend, I have free time. I like to do many things. My favourite hobby is football. I play with my friends in the park every Saturday. I am not the best player, but I have a lot of fun.

I also like to read. I read comic books and stories about animals. My favourite animal is the lion because it is strong and brave. Sometimes I draw pictures of animals in my notebook.

On Sunday, I help my father in the garden. We grow tomatoes and mint. I like to see the small plants grow. In the evening, I listen to music. Music makes me happy. My free time is short, but I love it.
