Directions: After writing your long paragraph, identify your sentence types, clauses, phrases and conjunctions.
My favorite free-time activity is drawing. Although I have many free-time activities, drawing is the main one. Drawing is my favorite free-time activity because it allows me to express my creativity and emotions through art, and I engage in this activity in my room, surrounded by pencils, markers, and sketchbooks. I usually draw in the evenings after finishing my homework, as a way to unwind and relax before bed. I like drawing so much because it allows me to escape into my own world and create something beautiful with just a piece of paper and a pen. Sometimes I draw on my ipad. My best friend also prefers the quiet and solitary nature of drawing, where we can focus on our thoughts and ideas without any distractions. Additionally I find drawing to be a therapeutic and meditative activity, helping me to destress and clear my mind after a long day
