novels and science fiction. Novel stories take me to another world as if I were on a magical journey
with Harry Potter, Robinson Crusoe or Tom Sawyer. I can also learn more about the world, and I could
explain such things as why apples always fall to the ground or why there is often a rainbow after the
rain I sometimes read books in my room, but I prefer going to my school library I can borrow many
books without having to pay any money. I particularly enjoy the moment when everyone's attention is
drawn to the books in their hands. The library is quiet, and everyone appears to get lost in their
exciting world. Reading is an exciting free time activity that I enjoy.

popular game in which players jump on one foot while throwing a small object into a numbered
pattern on the ground. Sack races, in which participants race while jumping inside a sack, and blind
man's bluff, in which one player gets blindfolded and then tries to catch the other players, are two
other folk games. There's also the game of marbles, in which players shoot marbles into a circle in the
