Scotland was the perfect place to grow up (grow up). My parents had spent years saving up (save up) because they wanted to buy a small farmhouse in the Scottish Highlands. Shortly after I was born their dream came true an our new life in the country began. To begin with, I was probably to young to appreciate (appreciate) the fresh air and breathtaking views, but as I grew up I began to enjoy (enjoy) exploring the unspolit countryside. I soon got used to having (have) to walk miles to the shops, and since it was too far to travel (travel) to the nearest primary school, my parents did their best educating (educate) me at home.

My Hobby
I learnt to read when I was five years old and since that time I have read hundreds of books. I read all kinds of books — adventure stories, fantasy, historical novels, science-fiction, biographical novels, horror stories, etc. I love reading and I think it is the best hobby in the world. Let me explain why I think so.
First, I can read a book anywhere whenever I have free time. Secondly, a traditional paper book does not need any batteries or cables. Thirdly, there are so many books in the world that you will never run out of them. Fourthly, reading books makes you smarter, especially if you have a good memory.
Finally, reading is the safest hobby in the world. You can take part in adventures оn the way to the tops of volcanoes, or to Mars and back, around the world in 80 days, down to the bottom of the ocean — and the only injury you could suffer is a paper cut.
Мое хобби
Я научился/научилась читать, когда мне было пять лет, и с тех пор я прочитал(а) сотни книг. Я читаю разные книги: приключения, фэнтези, исторические романы, научную фантастику, биографические романы, ужасы и т. д. Я люблю читать и думаю, что это лучшее хобби в мире. Позвольте мне объяснить, почему я так думаю.
Во-первых, я могу читать книги где угодно, когда у меня есть свободное время. Во-вторых, традиционной бумажной книге не нужны батареи или кабели. В-третьих, в мире так много книг, что ты никогда не перечитаешь все-все. В-четвертых, чтение книг делает тебя умнее, особенно если у тебя хорошая память.
Наконец, чтение — самое безопасное хобби в мире. Ты можешь участвовать в приключениях на пути к вершинам вулканов или к Марсу и обратно, проехать вокруг света за 80 дней, опуститься на дно океана — и единственная травма, которая, тебе грозит, — это порез листом бумаги.
