SAMPLE ANSWER 1

Leisure time is the one time that I rarely get, but whenever I do get the time, I prefer reading books or listening to music. Reading has been my favorite since I was in my teenage years and it has helped me to grow as an individual. It taught me so much about different domains and helped me in understanding the new things that often come up in my life. For instance, it was when I read the autobiography of Gandhi that I learnt about the Indian politics.

It was during the final year of my college that I picked up the habit of reading and have not stopped much after that! During reading I used to mark the vocabulary words and read them through. Also, I would sometimes mark the paragraphs in the book and try to make notes of good learning’s provided in the book.

If someone tells me to never read a book in my life, I think I would then go for dancing. Dancing is something that fills my soul, it just energizes me and makes me feel happy about life. So, if not reading, I would be dancing my life through songs and making others happy.

Leisure time is the one time that we get to learn so much about ourselves. it is the time of our own and I usually prefer dancing in my leisure time. Dancing fills my soul with joy and helps me to understand life better. It helps in gaining different perspective about life and broaden my horizons.

I picked up dancing when I started working at a corporate company and started doing the basics. I enjoyed my time doing dancing in different clubs and the different forms of them. Sometimes, I enjoyed doing Bollywood and the other times I would enjoy doing Zumba.

After a few months, I started learning Kathak and now growing in Kathak. If not dancing, I think I would have went for acting. Acting is quite similar to dancing, one is allowed to be expressive and share their thoughts and opinions.
