Okay, a hobby I recently started is listening to Postcard. That’s how it helped me improve my English. and at the first time I know I weakened my listening skills so I tried to find the effective strategy to solve with this problem and luckily I explored the postcard which were without to see a lot of screen that helped me a lot with my eyes because I have the weak eye so I I need to reduce the screen time in front of the laptop and the reason why I choose this hobby is because when I can feel with the skill I can check I could check my levels and develop this with the practice lessons and in the long run I thought I became my hobby that became my hobby and regular habit And the way I learned about this listening skill is where I listened to understand the conversation at first. Then I saw the subtitle to check my understanding. And finally I note the vocabulary and review one the week after that. And the reason why I think I will continue with this is that can benefit my is skill and ability to hear anyone’s hurt.

Okay, a hobby I recently started is listening to podcasts. That's how it helped me improve my English. At first, I knew I had weak listening skills, so I tried to find an effective strategy to solve this problem. Luckily, I explored podcasts, which were without too much screen time, and that helped me a lot with my eyes because I have weak eyes, so I need to reduce screen time in front of the laptop. The reason why I chose this hobby is because when I can feel my skill, I could check my levels and develop it with practice lessons. In the long run, I thought it became my hobby and regular habit. The way I learned this listening skill is where I listened to understand the conversation at first. Then I saw the subtitles to check my understanding. Finally, I noted the vocabulary and reviewed it one week after that. The reason why I think I will continue with this is that it can benefit my skill and ability to hear anyone's words.
