Sample Answer
Until recently, I would remain happy to sit at home and watch some TV after work. Now, while I have nothing against enjoying our time at home, this thing turned into a rather dull affair for me after a while. In other words, I needed to find some other kinds of activities. So, I went to a store about 6 months ago and bought myself a bicycle. Well, the reason for buying this bicycle was – yes, you have guessed it right – to tussle with it a little after work.
Of course, it was not the first time that I ever owned a bicycle and rode it. In fact, I used to own a very nice looking “two-wheeler” and ride it like a “pro” (“pro” as in “professional” here) when I was attending my university about 10 years ago. But, then, when I started a career, which required a different kind of lifestyle from my end, I had to give up the idea of riding a bicycle.
But, now, once again, I have gone back to my “old self,” a more adventurous one in that while enjoying this activity after my work, or I should say, mainly after my work, in the afternoon, since I also happen to ride it in the morning during the weekends, some times. But, no matter, when or at what time, I am doing this activity, I always try to do it in a nearby park, since they are comparatively less crowded or busy than those city roads or streets. And yes, I enjoy this activity alone, even though it would be nice to have other fellow riders accompany me sometimes.
But, riding alone or not, I am really enjoying this relatively new activity since it allows me to become and behave like the “young me” once again! I am also feeling way more “liberated” and positive about myself after starting this activity because it helps me take my mind away from the “toxic” work environment that I have to cope with sometimes.
