Sample response:

I love reading because it is a lifelong skill, and successful people never stop reading new books. Whether it's fiction or nonfiction, books help give you a greater understanding of the world around you. Furthermore, I like exercise. It is important for both physical and mental health. Taking half an hour after work can get your blood pumping. Also, you can build your muscle and burn calories.

My exercise plan is on Thursday nights and Sunday mornings I go to a Zumba class. Zumba is my favorite dance and now I really love it. It’s a lot of fun for me. Monday eveningsand Saturday mornings are for the beginner program of Latin dance class. I've tried a few of the beginner programs, and so far I've enjoyed this one because it has a nice variety of exercises and it’s so challenging.
