THE BEST TWO HOBBIES OF MINE

           I have 2 favourite hobbies. One of my hobbies is drawing. I started drawing when I was about 9 years old. I mostly draw cartoon characters, but every once in a while I make up my own characters like Spiderman, and Bombface.

         Another hobby of mine is using the Internet. I like the In­ternet, because it has a lot of stuff on it. I like making web pages. I design web pages for all sorts. I prefer to use HTML rather then by using any special editor. I like to insert the tags myself. It’s not as easy as it seems to be, but once you get the hang of it, it’s easy. I started this hobby at the beginning of the school year. I spend about 15-25 hours a week doing this. It is fun learning increasingly about it and experimenting, and making the pages, and watching them work for you.

QUESTIONS:
