Speaking Part 2 165 words 1 min read

Question

Describe a hobby you enjoy. You should say: what it is, how you started it, how often you do it, and explain why you enjoy it.

What a band 6.0 answer sounds like

I'd like to talk about photography, which is my main hobby. I started about three years ago, when my uncle gave me an old camera for my birthday. At first I didn't know how to use it, so I watched many videos on the internet and practised every weekend.

Now I take photos two or three times a week, usually in the evening because the light is soft and beautiful. I like taking photos of streets and people, but sometimes I go to the park to take photos of flowers. I also edit the photos on my laptop, which takes a lot of time but I enjoy it.

I enjoy photography for some reasons. First, it makes me look at the world in a different way, because I notice small things that I didn't see before. Second, it helps me to relax after studying. Finally, I can share my photos with my friends and family, and they are always very happy when they see them.
