Lina: I paint at home. My room is small, so I use the kitchen table after dinner. I put away my paints before breakfast.

Dan: I like cycling. My brother rides fast, but I stop to take photos. We choose quiet roads and meet at a café at the end.

Jo: I sing in a group on Thursday evenings. You do not need a beautiful voice to join. Our teacher says enjoying the music is important. Next week we are singing for our families, and I am a little nervous.
