A2 Reading Comprehension

Subject: My New Hobby!

Hi, Lisa!

I hope you’re enjoying your trip in Canada. I’m writing from Fukuoka, where I started a new hobby: pottery. I joined a class last month, and it’s so much fun! We make bowls and cups with clay. My first bowl was a little crooked, but I’m getting better. The teacher is patient and gives us good tips. Last week, we painted our pottery with blue and white colors. I also visited a pottery exhibition in the city. It had beautiful vases from 100 years ago. I want to make a vase next. Do you have any new hobbies? Tell me about Canada!

Take care,
Kaori
