Mary' hobby

My hobby is making paper dolls. The paper dolls are always drawn on cardboard and cut out. I also design some beautiful clothes fir my paper dolls. I usually draw clothes on paper, cut them out and put them on the dolls. I often do this on Sundays. £ enjoy making paper dolls because I like drawing and designing. When I design clothes, I sometimes learn about the clothes that people of other countries wear. I hace made paper dolls for one year. Now I have got over thirty dolls and more than a hundred sets of beautiful clothes.

My free time

On weekdays, I don't have much free time. When I get home from school, I usually do my homework, watch some TV or read a book. My parent bought me a new guitar for my birthday so I play that a lot too.

At the weekend, I usually relax with my friend, John and Thomas. We really like playing music together. Thomas plays the keyboard and John plays the drums. John has also written some songs, so we are practising them at the moment. My sister sometimes sings with us and we are hoping to play some concerts one day.

In a holiday, I sometimes go on day trips with my family. I am really interested in science. That's why we often go to the Science Museum. We usually go to the beach in August. We always have a great time, but the best thing is lying on the sand and listening to music on my iPod
