MODELING: 01
How I Spend My Spare Time
During my spare time, I love to do many exciting things. One of my favorite hobbies is gardening. I have a
small garden where I grow colorful flowers and yummy vegetables. I take care of them every day,
watering the plants and watching them grow.
I also enjoy reading books. I have a cozy corner in my room filled with books of all kinds – adventurous
tales, funny stories, and even books about animals. When I read, I go on amazing adventures without
even leaving my chair!
Painting is another thing I love to do. I use bright colors to create beautiful pictures. Sometimes I paint
the garden with its flowers, and other times, I let my imagination run wild and paint magical lands filled
with dragons and fairies.
Whenever I have spare time, I have so much fun exploring these hobbies. Whether it’s nurturing (taking
care of) my garden, diving into adventurous books, or painting colorful pictures, my spare time is always
full of joy and creativity!

MODELING: 02
A Trip To A Beach
A visit to the beach was always an adventure. The salty air, the sound of
waves and the feeling of the cool sand between my toes filled me with
excitement. I remember the last trip to the Turtle Beach with my family. We
packed a bag with necessary things like; snacks, food, cold drinks and got
ready to spend the day exploring the beach. We searched for shells, built
sandcastles and played in the water. The warmth of the sun on my skin and
the coolness of the water were a perfect combination. I loved to watch the
seagulls flying overhead and the boats sailing in the distance, it was so
magical.
One of my favorite things to do was to go swimming in the water, the waves
were so big and it was so much fun to ride them. We also played beach games
like Frisbee and cricket, took ride on camel and it was so much fun to play with family.
I found pretty seashells and colorful rocks on the shore. Each one was like a special treasure. I collected
them in my little bucket, feeling like a beach explorer.
The visit always ended with a beautiful sunset, the sky painted with orange and pink color. It was such a
peaceful moment, sitting on the beach, watching the sun go down with my family. I always left the
seaside feeling refreshed.
