When asked about my favorite leisure time activity, I will not hesitate a moment to say it is public
speaking. Whenever I have spare time, I will practice it, which makes me happy and excited. I first
took part in a speech contest when I was in junior high school. Although I have not got any prize t-
hat time, I began to love public speaking from then on.
Although some friends do not like public speaking, I have been practicing it for several years. The
reasons why I enjoy it so much are threefold. Firstly, after several years' practice I am more conf-
ident, enterprising and easygoing than before. Secondly, the hobby has helped me make good friends
with many teachers and schoolmates. Moreover, it has made me think of various essential problems in
depth--I have become more careful, reasonable and responsible.
Just like many other people, public speaking has become part of my life. I believe I will enjoy it
forever, and recommend it to others.
