四、以读促写
阅读下面短文，完成相应的任务。
I have many free-time activities，like reading，writing poems and doing calligraphy. However，painting is my favourite.
I started this activity when I was 8 years old. At first，I was afraid to use bold colours，worrying about making the paintings look messy. But I kept practising. I would spend hours on weekends sitting in my small study，trying different brush strokes and colour combinations. That helped me get better and better.
Painting is a great way to express myself. When I put the brush to canvas，I can create scenes from my dreams or capture the beauty of nature I've seen. I enjoy the sense of calm and achievement when a painting gradually takes shape，like a little world born from my hands. It's not just a hobby but a way for me to communicate without words.
