Okay, let’s talk about the hobby I want to try in the future. The hobby is ice skating. The reason is I always admired ice skating, figure skating especially. And I always was interested in ice skating since I was a child. Whenever I saw the performance doing this figure skating, I feel the sense of gentleness that they give and the enjoyment they’re bringing with themselves. So basically, in my childhood I didn’t have any opportunity to go figure skating classes. But I think in the future when I earn my own money and when I have a free time, I intend to go figure skating classes. and I’m ready to spend 3 hours every day I guess because I only tried once in my life to go to ice skating but not the course, only for one hour and I really really liked it and I really want to know more about it how do ice skaters jump and how do they do their spin. I was so curious about it, so I guess in the future I’m going to try it. And the equipments and ice skating doesn’t require a lot of equipments. The only skates are required.

Okay, let's talk about the hobby I want to try in the future. The hobby is ice skating. The reason is I have always admired ice skating, figure skating especially. I have been interested in ice skating since I was a child. Whenever I saw performances of figure skating, I felt the sense of gentleness they convey and the enjoyment they bring with them. In my childhood, I didn't have any opportunity to attend figure skating classes. But I think in the future, when I earn my own money and have free time, I intend to take figure skating classes. I am ready to spend about three hours every day on it because I only tried ice skating once in my life, but not in a course—only for one hour. I really liked it, and I want to learn more about how ice skaters jump and how they perform their spins. I am very curious about it, so I plan to try it in the future. The equipment for ice skating doesn't require a lot. The only equipment needed is skates.
