Speaking exercise

In my childhood there was not so many entertainment. Because it is not very rich in that time. And I think it is very different from present time. It changes a lot and the teachers and parents told us just focus on the books, on the learning. I think it didn’t change before I start work. And I tried to get some art and crafts maybe after I get works. I had thought about it and I find I don’t like it.
