Hi Linda, Thanks for your email! It's great to hear from you. Regarding your parents' concerns, I think watching anime is a fantastic hobby. It's a wonderful way to relax and immerse yourself in different stories and art styles. Many people enjoy it, and it can even be a creative outlet. It's important to have hobbies that you are passionate about. For me, I love reading in my free time. My parents are generally supportive of my hobbies, as long as they don't interfere with my studies. I usually spend about 5-7 hours a week reading. What do you like to do in your free time? Do your parents support you in your hobby? How much time do you spend on your hobby? Write back soon. Best wishes, Linda
