My favourite hobby
1. Listen and read. 🎧
Ann: Your house is very nice, Trang.
Trang: Thanks! Let's go upstairs. I'll show you my room.
Ann: I love your dollhouse. It's amazing. Did you make it yourself?
Trang: Yes. I like building dollhouses very much.
Ann: Really? Is it hard to build one?
Trang: Not really. All you need is some cardboard and glue. Then just use a bit of creativity. What do you do in your free time?
Ann: I like horse riding.
Trang: That's rather unusual. Not many people do that.
Ann: Actually, it's more common than you think. There are some horse riding clubs in Ha Noi now. I go to the Riders' Club every Sunday.
Trang: I'd love to go to your club this Sunday. I want to learn how to ride.
Ann: Sure. My lesson starts at 8 a.m.
