Q. 時間があるときは何をしますか?
I love to do things with my hands. One of my favorite hobbies is called (15)scrapbooking. Scrapbooking is taking all your pictures and using (16)embellishments, like paper, (17)charms, tapes, uh, stickers, (18)fibers, and (19)laying them out. So , you lay your pictures, and you lay them out with all this embellishment tomake a (20) pleasing , uh, (21)rendition of something that you enjoyed. So , it might , could have been a family, uh, vacation, and so you have all these pictures in this book. But each page (22)captures, uh, the fun of the event , but you alsoadd your creative spirit to that page.
