They often give me [6] on how to cook the traditional food from their hometown. I really enjoy the healthy and tasty food that I cooked by myself!

Though I have to get up earlier every morning and exercising is a bit tiring, I find it really helpful. I enjoy all [8] of exercises: going to the gym, lifting weights, jogging, hiking, playing volleyball and soccer, etc. I learn a lot from doing various sports. I have also met some wonderful people who share this hobby.
