I am a big sports fan (迷). So I often watch or play many kinds of sports. But my favorite is football. I find it really cool.
I usually listen to music in my free time. My favorite is some beautiful piano music. Some people can’t do things well when listening to music, but for me, it is not the case, I think I can study better with my favorite light music.
