When I was seven years old，my family made me an ant farm (螞蟻窩), First，we put clean sand in a thin glass box．Then we waited for the ants to arrive．

After the ants were in the glass farm，they started to make tunnels (地道)．I was amazed that each one knew well what to do．Each had its own job．

On the fifth day something terrible happened．I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over．All the tunnels fell down．Although (雖然) the ants kept alive after their earthquake，one by one they began to die．I was frightened as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm．

My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness．They simply could not stand (忍受) that their tunnels were gone．

Although much time has passed，I still think of that ant farm．Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world，but it taught me much more．

Over the years，I came to realize the importance of teamwork．Working together，the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves．I also learned that they should be admired (欽佩) for their hard work．

But there was an even larger 1esson that I did not realize until recently：Adversity (逆境) is a natural part of life and must be accepted．Unlike the ants，we cannot give up when we are sad．We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone，we must build another．

Giving up is not a good choice．

Hobbies are activities, which we do in our free time. There are so many kinds of hobbies one can choose for his or her own. Some hobbies are really expensive, and some are even dangerous.

The most popular hobbies in our country are as follows:

Collecting hobbies We can collect a lot of things. Usually people collect the stamps, postcards or coins. Some people collect unusual things like old cars, old motorbikes or other interesting things, which could be very expensive.

Art hobbies Going to the theatre, concert（音樂會(huì)）, opera; playing some instrument ( the most popular instrument is guitar ); painting, writing, poetry. There are many clubs—such as singing, dancing, etc.

Sports games Everybody do some sport activities—sport can keep us fit. Many students are members of a sports club—basketball, volleyball or swimming.

The other popular hobby is watching TV or a video, playing computer or video games, but it is not so good for your eyes and your mind. Many people here like to spend their free time reading books, magazines and newspapers. Some people like listening to music better. Going out can be very expensive now.

Many students would like to make use of their hobbies in their future jobs, e.g. working with computer, but it is not so easy. Hobbies are very important for everybody. A man would be very poor without a hobby and would not be pleased.
