Football is my favorite hobby, and I’m excited to share more about it.

Football is not just about kicking a ball around; it requires teamwork, skill and strategy, which I find fascinating.

I play football regularly, usually a few times a week. Whether it’s a match with friends or just practicing drills, I try to stay involved as much as possible.

I’ve been playing football for about three years now.

In the past, I used to have different hobbies like swimming and playing the guitar, but I’ve shifted my focus more towards football as I found it more rewarding and enjoyable.

Having hobbies like football is important for personal well-being.

  • What is your favorite food? Why?
  • What food do you eat a lot?
  • What food comes from your country?
  • How do you feel when you eat food?
  • What foods do you dislike? Why?
  • Where do you usually get food from?


My favorite food is pizza Margherita and chickenburger. I love it because of its delicious.

I eat pizza quite often because it’s convenient and satisfying. Whether it’s for a quick meal with friends or a lazy evening at home, pizza is always a great choice.

Pizza, in general, is enjoyed worldwide, but the Margherita pizza specifically originates from Italy. It’s named after Queen Margherita of Italy and represents the colors of the Italian flag with its red tomatoes, white mozzarella, and green basil.

When I eat pizza Margherita, I feel happy.

As for foods I dislike, I’m not a fan of very spicy dishes I prefer milder flavors.

I usually get pizza from Tashir pizza or sometimes make it at home using fresh ingredients.

Yes, I like sports! Sports offer a range of benefits. Firstly, they’re great for physical health, helping to keep the body fit and strong. Secondly, sports can be a lot of fun and provide opportunities for socializing and teamwork. Lastly, they teach valuable life skills.

I try to exercise regularly, aiming for a few times a week. This might include activities like running, cycling, or playing sports like football or basketball.

  • How much free time do you usually have?
  • How important is time to you?
  • If you had more free time, what would you do?
  • “Time is money.” Do you agree or disagree? Why?
  • How do you feel about time that is wasted?

I typically have some free time each day, usually in the evenings or on weekends.

Time is very important to me. I believe in using time wisely and efficiently, whether it’s for sport, leisure, or personal growth.

If I had more free time, I would invest it in my hobbies and interests more deeply. I might spend more time learning a new skill or traveling to new places.

The phrase «time is money» suggests that time should be valued similarly to money.

I feel disappointed when time is wasted. Wasted time represents missed opportunities. It’s important to reflect on how we use our time.
