四、My hobby
A hobby can be almost anything a person likes to do in his spare time.
Hobbyists raise pets, build model ships, weave bas-kets, or carve soap figures
and so on. In a word, hobbies offer en-joyment, friendship, knowledge and
relaxation.
Then, what is my hobby? Well, what I like most is singing. I began to sing
songs when I was very young. My uncle was studying in a college then, so he
could sing lots of songs, and he taught me several songs. I showed great
interests in the music then, for they were pleasing to ears and easy to sing. My
uncle told me they were called pop songs.
When I grew up, my music teacher found that I had a good voice, so she sent
me to the Children's Palace to study vocal mu-sic. From then on, I began my
vocal music training. And then I knew there were several kinds of songs, like
folk songs, pop songs and so on. What I had learned most was the songs for
children. They were all simple ones but our teacher trained us very strictly. We
practiced how to produce sound and how to make our expres-sion more natural and
more pleasing. Those simple training didn't reduce my interest in singing at all
and I won awards one after another in several kinds of competition. Actually I
began to make up a dream of becoming a famous singer in the future.
As time went by, I came to realize that my dream wouldn't come true for
there were strict conditions of being a singer. But I still took singing as my
hobby since I found in music the interests which were lost in the exams. When I
put all my emotion into singing a song, it gave me very good and very pleasant
feelings, and a good chance to relax. Besides, it was a good way to learn things
that couldn't be easily found in life.
Now as I'm saying goodbye to my childhood my voice has changed into a deep
male voice, and therefore I can sing a lot of songs written for adults. I am
often deeply moved, by the melody or by what the song writers said. I can feel
that these words come from the bottom of their hearts: "All my best memories
come back clearly to me. Some can even make me cry, just like before. It's
yesterday once more. ""Heal the world, make it a place, for you and for me and
the entire human race". When I sing these songs, tears well up in my eyes.
I love singing, and the most warm and fragrant thing in life, I assume, is
sitting in the sunshine, listening-to the walkman and singing together with the
singer.
So, this is my hobby, and I hope every one of us can enjoy his own hobby,
en joy the simple, good things of life. |
