MY FAVOURITE HOBBY ..........................................................................................................................................

Beatrice Chan (2010-11 2C)

Good afternoon. I’m Beatrice Chan, studying in Form 2C. First, let me ask you all a few questions. Do

you find writing unattractive? Or do you agree with this statement – The composition section is the stupidest,

weariest and most boring thing you have in the school? If your answers are YES, then you should now listen

to me patiently and I shall tell you the fun, the joy and the excitement I have while I’m doing my favourite

hobby – WRITING.

It all started when I was only really little. My mum read me bedtime stories every single night; at that

time, I was totally fascinated by the unbelievable characters in the stories. Whenever I finished reading a

book, I often imagined what would happen to the characters afterwards. Soon, I started writing up different

endings to stories. Well, honestly, not only is creating a whole new ending to a story fun, but it is also

pleasurable. Can you imagine Sirius in the Harry Potter series was finally proven to be innocent and lived

happily with Harry evermore? It happens – it truly happens – in MY story. Writing really allows my

imagination to run wild.

Apart from writing new endings, I also write poems. Every day we experience different things; writing

poems, for sure, is a good means to express our feelings. Whenever I feel happy, or sad, or even furious, I

write poems. Transforming my anger or sadness into lines of words often soothes me and makes me feel a

lot better. In fact, I always write poems at home, in the classroom, on the bus or even in the bathroom while

I’m having a shower. Besides, as I love sharing my works with others, it has always been great when I see

the comments from my ‘readers’ after I have posted my poems online.

My dear schoolmates, writing doesn’t mean to be boring. Writing occupies a large range; a drama

script, a short story, or even a post on the Facebook is a kind of writing. For me, writing is definitely the

most interesting thing; I will keep on writing and never give up my hobby. I wish someday my writings will

touch people’s hearts. Finally, let me end my sharing with my latest ‘creation’.

Writing brings me so much fun,

I can make a journey that’s just begun.

I write,

I feel,

I write and feel,

and won’t become a statue frozen still.

Hope you will like my sharing and start to enjoy writing. Or maybe why don’t you visit my Facebook,

leave a comment on the poem I have just presented to you, and start writing. Thank you.
