My interests
I really like 'dancing' (dance)! I love 'classical' music and I'm not a bad 'musician'.
I can play the piano quite well. I don't like 'reading' books much, but I like short stories because they're quick! And I'm interested in 'watching' documentaries on TV - if they're about famous 'dancers'! I'm also into 'photography' and I like 'taking' photos of my friends in dance classes.
I 'would' like to go to a 'dance' class once a week, but unfortunately, I don't have enough time. I'm already quite busy with my schoolwork and other activities. Perhaps in the future, I will be able to dedicate more time to my passion for dancing.
