and explain how much you enjoy it.

[You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes. You have one minute to think about what you are going to say. You can make some notes to help you if you wish.]

Model Answer:
Thank you so much for this interesting topic. I'd love to share an activity I thoroughly enjoy, and this activity is collecting coins from different countries. It's a fascinating hobby that combines my interests in history, culture, and travel. It’s a hobby that I find both fascinating and rewarding.

I believe, collecting coins is a unique and educational pastime. It involves acquiring coins from various countries, each with its own distinctive design, historical significance, and cultural value. Collecting coins, or numismatics, as some call it, is more than just gathering bits of metal. It’s a way of exploring the world’s history, art, and culture through its currency. I started this hobby a few years ago, and it quickly became a passion. I try to dedicate some time to it every weekend. I enjoy searching for new coins online, visiting flea markets, or even reaching out to friends who travel abroad, asking them to bring back a coin or two.

I often do this activity on my own, but sometimes I share it with my dad, who introduced me to the hobby. He has a small collection of his own, and we love comparing our finds. Occasionally, we attend coin exhibitions or local collectors' meetings together, which is always a great way to meet fellow enthusiasts and learn more about the stories behind each coin.

What I love most about collecting coins is the thrill of discovery and the joy of learning. Each coin represents a piece of a country's history and culture, from different eras and regions. Some coins commemorate significant events, while others feature famous historical figures or landmarks. Holding a coin from another country feels like holding a piece of that country’s soul in my hand.

Personally, I find this activity incredibly enriching and enjoyable. I believe I’ll continue to collect coins for many years to come, as there’s always a new discovery waiting just around the corner!

And that’s exactly how I succeeded in achieving a goal recently, which I otherwise thought was not possible.

I found out that I was gaining extra pounds in my body, and my fitness was deterioratin
