For example, I play games in my spare time. I like to play games, and it's fun.
Speaker A
Then playing games is my hobby. Do you have any hobbies? What are your hobbies?
Speaker A
My hobby is taking a walk. When the weather is nice, I go for a walk in the park.
Speaker A
I like listening to music the most when I take a walk. And I also like to call my friend when I take a walk.
Speaker A
Sometimes I have dinner with my friends and go for a walk. It's really nice to work out and talk.
Speaker A
Sometimes I take a walk during the day, but I prefer to take a walk at night.
Speaker A
Because there aren't many people at night and it's quiet. So I sometimes ride my bike in the park at night.
Speaker A
Winter in Korea is very cold, so I rarely ride a bicycle in winter. I usually ride my bike a lot in spring, summer, and fall.
Speaker A
In spring in Korea, flowers bloom a lot, so you can enjoy the flowers while riding a bicycle.
Speaker A
A lot of flowers bloomed this spring, so I took a lot of pictures of the flowers.
Speaker A
In summer, it is really hot during the day, so I often ride my bike at night.
Speaker A
It feels good to ride a bike at night when the wind blows. In autumn, the color of the trees is really pretty as the leaves turn, and the weather is cool.
Speaker A
You can see flowers in spring and autumn leaves in autumn. And the sky is beautiful. So I often exercise in the park in the fall.
Speaker A
Do you have any trendy hobbies in your country? The hobby that many Koreans do these days is exercising.
Speaker A
People haven't been able to exercise well for two years because of COVID. But these days, COVID is almost over in Korea.
Speaker A
So people are doing a lot of exercise. People do things like running, Pilates, yoga, rock climbing, hiking.
Speaker A
I also exercise twice a week. I usually do Pilates every Monday and Friday. It was difficult at first, but now it's fun.
Speaker A
It's hard when I do Pilates, but it feels good after I'm done. I also did yoga three years ago, and it was really fun.
Speaker A
So my favorite exercises are yoga and Pilates. I tried hiking with my friend once, but it was very hard.
Speaker A
So I don't like hiking. The view from the top of the mountain was beautiful, but I didn't go back because it was too difficult.
Speaker A
And I tried running, but it wasn't fun. My ankle and knee hurt, so I couldn't run well.
Speaker A
So the sports I don't like are hiking and running. What hobbies do you have?
Speaker A
What kind of exercise are you doing these days? And what are your favorite and disliked sports?
