 From the entire year, I like December because of Christmas vacation, where I learn many new things.
As my parents manage some extracurricular activities where I enhance my personal skills and learn
innovative ideas as well.
 I don’t like May, June because of extra humid and warm months
Friends
 Once in a week
 At our home and parks
 Through mails and telephonic conversation
 I think in my life friends are so important because I feel so comfortable and they are the ones to whom I
share my life secrets and also suggest whenever I face any problem. So friends are important because
a sold friendship helps to promote brain health and deal with stress and make the life better as well.
Language
1. Outside classroom, I practice English by watch TED talks and always read about the favorite topics.
Also, I use a vocabulary notebook and keep talking in English with my parents and friends
2. Speaking because language have its own pronunciation
3. Talking with others and reading
4. Reading because only that way I learn new words.
Watching Films
 Comedies because It help to get away from stress
 The last film which I saw is
 Romantic because I think there is no sense of these movies
 Usually, I watch film with my friends because I enjoy their company and sometimes with my parents
where they provide me a chance to learn about outside home and colleges.
