my new hobbies

We have been in Toronto for 5 months since coming here in August. I was happy that our whole family lived in together again. I have picked up some new hobbies. I have invited my friends to my home many times. I also cooked for them, which I had never done before. I would always invite my friends to a restaurant in Tianjin for I was not a good cook. But I was not shamed of my cooking,I have learnt some recipes from the Internet and I was glad to show off my creations to my friends. We ate, tasted and discussed. They taught me the tips and we shared the recipes. I am now a good cook, I think. I have changed a lot the way I do shopping. I always read the newspapers to find what items are discounted and where the market is located. It is interesting. I am satisfied after I do shopping and carry some bags home. But whenever I show my husband how much I saved, he would point out which thing I bought have gone bad because I neglected it for a long time. Then he would tell me not to buy too much. I know it, but it is difficult to control when I go shopping. I had studied English for a long time in Tianjin, but my speaking is not good enough. Now I study in LINC. I have learnt some songs, and I hope to learn more. I like this means of study.
