I noticed that you have been painting these days. Is it a school project?
No, it isn’t. Actually, it is my new hobby. I joined the Art club at school yesterday.

That sounds great. I also used to love painting years ago but I stopped because I was too busy at school.
I see. You should try painting again or you could also try other hobbies like playing musical instruments or writing stories.

I think playing musical instruments is a nice hobby. I could do it after my classes.
You are right. It is also a very relaxing hobby and you can learn to play various musical instruments. Go for it!
