A Relaxing Hobby
Nowadays, we are under plenty of pressure from our schoolwork. My favorite relaxing hobby is riding my bike to the nearby countryside.
I usually go for a 30-minute bike ride every Friday afternoon after I finish all my lessons at school, and I also ride with my friends around the lake on sunny weekends. When I ride, the soft wind blows on my face, and I can see green trees and different kinds of lovely flowers along the road.
This hobby really helps me a lot. When I feel worried about my difficult lessons or upcoming exams, riding makes me forget all those annoying things for a while. It not only builds up my body, but also makes me feel fresh and energetic, so I can do much better in my study later.
