私の趣味はラジオを聴くことだ。最近、日本の若者ではラジオを聴く人が非常に少なくなってきていて、友人にも同じ趣味を持っている人はほとんどいない。しかし私はテレビよりラジオの方が圧倒的に好きである。なぜなら、ニュース番組以外のテレビ番組は映像を客観的に見るだけだが、ラジオはパーソナリティが語りかけてくるスタイルが多く、リスナーからのメールなどが多いため、聴いていて社会との繋がりを感じて落ち着くからである。テレビと違って、聴きながら他の作業ができることもラジオの良い点である。

My hobby is listening to the radio. Recently young people in Japan rarely listen to the radio, and I hardly have any friends who share the same hobby. But I love radio much more than TV. That's because you just watch images on TV subjectively, except for news programs, but on the radio, hosts tend to speak to you, and they receive many mails from listeners, so I feel calm feeling connection with society. Also, unlike TV, I like it that I can do other things while listening to the radio.

My hobby is to listening to radio. Nowadays, Japanese young people who listen to radio is getting fewer, and there are few my friends who have the same liking. But I far prefer radio to TV. Because except news, we only watch objectively TV programs, but on radio more personality talks to me, and many listeners send email, so I can feel connections to society, and thus listening to radio makes me feel comfortable.
Unlike TV programs, it is also an advantage that I can do other work while listening to them.

My hobby is listening to the radio. Of late the number of young people in Japan who listen to the radio has become extremely small, and almost none of my friends share this hobby with me. But I overwhelmingly prefer radio to television. That's because except for news shows, programs on television just involve watching video footage passively, while on radio there are personalities who talk in many different styles, and there is lots of mail sent in by listeners, so by listening to radio one can feel one is connected to society, which has a calming effect. Another advantage of radio is that unlike television, one can listen to the radio while doing other things.
