题目内容
【题目】 Today we started our new school term. We were very happy to see friends again. But the most exciting of all,the new term is the time to plan new hobbies. It is common in Britain for students to plan new hobbies after the Christmas holidays. Deciding to start something new is a common New Year resolution.
Most schools offer different kinds of hobby classes. Students take them in their free time or after school. You have to pay for some classes and others are free. For example,I once took a free Friday evening gymnastics(体操) class my school offered. But when I wanted to learn how to play the drum,my parents had to pay for the lessons.
The most popular extra classes at my school were piano lessons. We also like playing a role in the drama (戏剧) club. Both classes offered exams students could take. Students with many hobbies sometimes felt more stressed than those without any. But the students with hob-bies left school with many extra skills.
I have not stopped any of the hobbies I began at school. Although sometimes I may feel very tired,there are also some good reasons for me to insist on it. And I have never regretted taking them. My best friend today is someone I met in my gymnastics class. We have the same hobby and we spend time a lot.
