My favorite activities My name’s Kevin, and my favorite activity is playing soccer. When I was younger I didn’t use to like sports, but two years ago I started playing soccer with my friends. I was good at it, and soon I was on the school team. Before I started playing soccer, I was very lazy, and I didn’t use to get enough exercise. I play soccer three times a week now, so I get plenty of exercise – but I have some bad habits, too. For example, I eat too many French fries. They’re not as healthy as vegetables or fruit. I want to stop eating junk food, but it isn’t easy to change your eating habits! We play other sports at school, like volleyball and basketball, but they’re not as exciting as soccer. We do some other cool things at school, like art and music. I’m terrible at drawing, but painting is fun. And I like music class, too. I’m good at singing, but I don’t play any musical instruments. I used to have piano lessons every week, but I wasn’t very good at playing the piano, and I hated practicing, so I decided to stop taking lessons.
