What do you often do after school? In my school, there are a lot of clubs which students can 
take part in after school hours.
The club that has the biggest number of members is the swimming club called “Blue Dolphins”. 
I myself love swimming so I am a member of this club. I go to the swimming pool twice a day 
and swim for about an hour. I‟m really interested in swimming breaststroke because it helps me 
move as fast as  I  can.  I‟m also fond of backstroke.  I swim backstroke  when  I  want to relax, 
breathe and let my body float freely. It‟s very relaxing.
The  second  club  I  would  like  to  mention  is  the  charity  club.  Its  name  is  “Golden  Heart”. 
Members of the club often do community  service. This month, they are conducting a clean-up 
campaign to protect the environment around the school. They collect trash, clean the toilet area, 
and  grow  plants.  I  am  not  a  Golden  Heart‟s  member,  but  I  participate  in  their  activities 
whenever I can.
If you can sing, dance or play musical instruments, the musical club “Heartstrings” is definitely 
for you. The president of the club is Mike, my best friend. He is not only good-looking but also 
sings beautifully and plays the guitar very well.
In conclusion, we should do as many activities as possible in our free time to have good health 
and a fresh mind to prepare for lessons in class. Spending all our time studying is not a good 
idea.
