Activity 3: Translation (My Hobbies)

Translate the following paragraph to Punjabi:

My name is Shifali. I like to read books and dance. I read books in my free time. I like reading novels very much. These days I am reading Pinjar novel by Amrita Pritam. This is a very good novel. This is the story of the partition of 1947. I read books every afternoon after work for one to two hours. Then in the evening I go to the gym for two hours. There we exercise for an hour and dance for an hour. I like to dance to Punjabi songs, so I perform Bhangra. There are ten girls in our gym. Five girls perform Bhangra and five Arabian dances. We all have a lot of fun in the gym. I feel very energetic after gym. Afternoon is my favorite time of the day.
