SAMPLE SCRIPT 1

Hi Alex,

I think you should go with cooking instead. As much as I know,

you are an amazing chef yourself. Those foods that you cooked for me

are amazing in both looks and taste. You could be the next Gordon

Ramsay. Furthermore, cooking is also quite beneficial. Benefits such as

being able to aqcuire some living skills, cooking for people and even

reserves you a career. I find the best hobby for you and hope you do

too. If you do, all the best. By the way, do not stop pursuing your

dreams.

Hi Alex,

I hope you are in the pink of health. Last Friday, you send me

you should do collecting stamps. It’s because stamp can be collected

from any letters and you can change with your friends or someone else.

Then you can collect stamp from any country or places. That all the

information I given you. I hope you would like it. Thank you.

Hi Alex,

Starting a new hobby is a great thing. Hobby will help you fulfil

your free time. You can choose a hobby that you like, you are not

forced to choose one hobby. You can choose more than one hobby, it

doesn’t matter. What you like to do everyday during your free time?

Think about it. Besides that, you can also list out your hobbies. You can

make a timetable of your hobbies for your daily routine. I hope you can
