How do you go about finding out the period that interests you most?S2: I really find the Tang Dynasty fascinating. I love the poetry and wanted to find out more about lifeSample dialogue:at the time. So first I went to the History Museum in Tiananmen Square. I found they have an exhibition of objects from everyday life of the people who lived at the time of the Tang Dynasty. It was very interesting and I got talking to one of the volunteers who takes youround and tells you about the objects. She said she did it in her free time and just because she loves the period just like me. So I decided I would follow her example. So now I go to the Museum every Saturday and try to help visitors. The Museum Gives me information on the objects, so I have learned a lot. The visitors also ask a lot of questions and this makes me think a lot about the period too. Sometimes I cannot answer their questions but then I try to find out the answers later. So if I am asked that question another time, I will be able to give the correct answer.S1: That is a great way to learn. I would never have thought about doing that. Please can I use your experience in my talk to the class?S2: Of course you can. Good luck!Write a passage about your hobby. A sampleSwimming is my favorite sport. I like it because it can bring me much fun. The process of learning how to swim is very interesting. You can try different ways of swimming, such as backstroke. You can swim at any time of the year if you like. In hot summer, if you jump into the river or the sea to have a swim, you will feel cool and comfortable. Even in cold winter, you can swim if you are brave enough. Its a healthy sport and it can build up our body. If you are a beginner, you must be careful. Youd better not swim alone and bring life buoy with you in case of danger. If you want to be a good swimmer, you must have a lot of practice and have great determination.
