Talk about your hobby: your collection (check xem mình sai ở đâu với . Thanks ^^)

The hobby I like most is collecting music of singers whom I like so much. I like studying English so I'm interested in US-UK songs, especially I have passion for Taylor Swift and her songs. I started listening her songs when I was a little girl. Whenever she pulishes new songs, I enjoy them and download them into my cellphone even a special folder and has about 30 songs, but i don't buy any album of her. Listening her songs makes me relax after studying hard, makes friends and especially improve my pronunciation and vocabulary. Thus, I have listened country music at first and have translated it into Vietnamese because they were quite slow and quite easy to hear and understand them. Realizing its benifits, I will go on listening and developing my collection.

TS was born in Pennsylvania, America in 1898. She has been writing songs since she was 13 years old. She was trying hard to make her dream come true while most of children of her age were playing, dating and having fun at parties. That small town girl now become one of the most famous singers. Unlike JB, LG or many other singers, Swift was famous for country music first. Now, she has transformed ( changed???) her style of music to pop. “ Shake it off” is very different from her previous songs and helped TS won 3 Grammy awards.
2 years ago I saw her professional performance in a youtube video, her sweet voice attracted me. I like TS not only her talent but also her personality, she always cares her fans and tries to build a good relationship with them. Her songs encourage me to improve myself for my dream.
I hope TS will always be happy in the future.
