A way of taking up new hobbies

Starting a new school term is always exciting. It is a chance to  66  your friends again. But the most exciting of all, a new term is a good chance to take up new hobbies. It is common (普遍的) in Britain for students to take up new hobbies after the Christmas holidays. To start something new is a common New Year resolution.

    Most schools offer (提供)  67  kinds of hobby classes. Students take them in their free time or after school. Some classes you have to pay for and the others are free. For example, I once took a free Wednesday evening gymnastics class, but when I learned how to play the drum, my parents  68  to pay for the lesson.

The most popular extra classes at my school were piano lessons and drama club. Both classes offered exams students could take. Students with many hobbies sometimes feel more  69  than those without any. But the students with hobbies leave school with many extra skills.

I haven’t continued any of the hobbies I began at school, but I have never regretted (遗憾) taking them. My  70  friend today is someone I met in my gymnastics class.
