Suggested writing:
My hobby is reading. I read story books, magazines, newspapers and any kind of material that I find interesting. I started reading when I was a little girl. I used to ask my father to read fairy tales. Then I learn to read. At first I read simple books, then stories. Now I read everything. I love reading novels. Even I can read short stories in English., especially I’m interested in reading funny stories. Through reading, I can learn about many things: how people live, how things go on everywhere in the world. Books provide me with necessary in formation and facts. I don’t have to learn things the hard way..
