يَقُولُ رَامِي: هِوَايَتِي المُفَضَّلَةُ هِيَ كُرَةُ القَدَمِ. أَلْعَبُ فِي النَّادِي مَرَّتَيْنِ فِي الأُسْبُوعِ مَعَ أَصْدِقَائِي لِأَنَّهَا تُقَوِّي الجِسْمَ وَتُعَلِّمُ العَمَلَ الجَمَاعِيَّ. فِي وَقْتِ فَرَاغِي أَيْضًا أُحِبُّ القِرَاءَةَ لِأَنَّهَا تُرِيحُ عَقْلِي.

Paper 2 — Reading

الهِوَايَاتُ مُهِمَّةٌ لِلشَّبَابِ. فَهِيَ تَمْلَأُ وَقْتَ الفَرَاغِ بِشَيْءٍ مُفِيدٍ، وَتُقَلِّلُ التَّوَتُّرَ. بَعْضُ الهِوَايَاتِ رِيَاضِيَّةٌ مِثْلَ السِّبَاحَةِ، وَبَعْضُهَا فَنِّيٌّ مِثْلَ الرَّسْمِ وَالمُوسِيقَى. المُهِمُّ أَنْ يَخْتَارَ الإِنْسَانُ هِوَايَةً يُحِبُّهَا.

هِوَايَتِي المُفَضَّلَةُ هِيَ السِّبَاحَةُ لِأَنَّهَا رِيَاضَةٌ مُمْتِعَةٌ وَتُقَوِّي الجِسْمَ. أُمَارِسُهَا فِي النَّادِي مَرَّتَيْنِ فِي الأُسْبُوعِ، وَأُحِبُّ أَيْضًا القِرَاءَةَ فِي وَقْتِ فَرَاغِي.

هِوَايَتِي المُفَضَّلَةُ هِيَ كُرَةُ القَدَمِ لِأَنَّهَا مُمْتِعَةٌ وَتُقَوِّي الجِسْمَ. أَلْعَبُ فِي النَّادِي مَرَّتَيْنِ فِي الأُسْبُوعِ مَعَ أَصْدِقَائِي، وَأَشْعُرُ بِالسَّعَادَةِ عِنْدَمَا نَفُوزُ. فِي وَقْتِ فَرَاغِي أُحِبُّ القِرَاءَةَ لِأَنَّهَا تُرِيحُ عَقْلِي وَتَزِيدُ مَعْلُومَاتِي. أَعْتَقِدُ أَنَّ الهِوَايَاتِ مُهِمَّةٌ لِأَنَّهَا تَمْلَأُ وَقْتَ الفَرَاغِ بِشَيْءٍ مُفِيدٍ وَتُقَلِّلُ التَّوَتُّرَ.
