Rahman's Hobby

A form 2 guided writing essay

Rahman, who is fourteen years old, has an interesting hobby of collecting butterflies. He usually catch the butterflies in his own wide and beautiful garden full of various colourful flowers and insects.

He catches the butterflies found in the garden using a net with a long stick. He has a few nets for catching butterflies. The newest net is a gift from his father during his fourteenth birthday currently.

While attempting in catching butterfly, Rahman handles it gently. It is because he does not want to tear out the wings of the butterflies. Once they are caught, Rahman pours a few drops of methylated  spirit onto their head to preserve the insects with their original look. They will be dried before Rahman pins them onto a frame.

He arranges all the butterflies he has caught according to types, sizes and colours. There are many frames hanging onto the wall at his house displaying many types of butterfly caught by himself.  From a fun hobby he does, Rahman becomes a passionate butterfly catcher.

No wonder a cheap hobby like this would turn into a business and would be able for him to earn some profits one day sooner or later. After all he already had a hobby-based business in the making of handicraft.
