I’m glad to hear from you. You asked me about my hobby. Now let me tell you something about my hobby. 
In fact, I have many hobbies in my daily life, but my favourite is travelling. I have liked travelling since three years ago. I have already travelled to many places by myself or with my parents. By travelling I can broaden my mind. When I visit some different places of interest I can learn a lot about people, places and history.  
I think it is fun to travel. 
What is your hobby, Allen? Let’s share it together!
Yours,
Li Fan
