Hi! I started a drawing club after school last week. It's really fun. Do you have a hobby? What do you like to draw or make?
Questions to answer
- Do you have a hobby?
- What do you like to draw or make?
Reply to the e-mail. Answer both questions. The current exam paper already provides the opening and closing, so focus your 15-25 words on the two required answers.
Write about your own topic, or use an official past paper in another tab. The word guidance and structure below still apply.
Structure guidance
- Read both questions in the e-mail carefully
- Answer question 1
- Answer question 2
- The current exam paper already provides the opening and closing, so focus your 15-25 words on the two required answers

Yes, I have a hobby. I like playing the piano. I also enjoy drawing cats and flowers.
One possible Petra answer. This is not an official EIKEN answer or score.
Why this works
- Answers both of Emma's questions directly
- Gives one specific example for each answer (piano; cats and flowers)
- Stays within the 15-25 word target without a greeting or closing
