Sample Answer
Now I’m gonna talk about drawing, which is an activity that I’ve taken up recently. I have to admit I’m not an artistic person so I’m not really good at painting or drawing. However, maybe about 9 months ago if I’m not mistaken, I came across some pictures and sketches on the Internet and I was hooked on creating my own works of art. At that time, I felt stuck and was also occupied with my work, so I was trying to find something to unwind and relieve stress.
I bought some sketched pictures on Shopee which is the most famous e-commerce sales page in Vietnam. You know, the pictures are divided into numerous numbers so what I had to do was just to fill in the numbers with the given colors. Like I told you before, although I don’t have an eye for art, I could eventually complete a beautiful picture by myself.
There are several benefits of drawing that I’ve received from my experiences. First of all, it helps me boost my creativity. This is simply because I need to mix and match distinctive colors to make the pictures harmonized. Besides that, I’ve become more focused as drawing requires patience and concentration. This is pretty beneficial for a person who can easily get distracted like me.
So if I had a chance, I would sign up for some painting classes to master my skills to be able to create beautiful paintings myself. I feel energetic every time I draw so I highly recommend everyone to give it a try.
