B. Running Dictation (Similar to the Audio about the Motorbike)

My hobby started when I was a kid. My sister had a lot of makeup and I thought it looked like fun. Then I really got into makeup and beauty. My best friend also had lots of good makeup from Dior, Coco Chanel and Sephora, so we went shopping together often and it was great! Really, I wanted to become better and learn how to use more products, and the great thing about it is, it doesn't take very long to learn. So I saved up some money and started buying lipstick and brushes and eyeliners. It was a fascinating experience and I learned from watching YouTube videos. Now, I am quite good and whenever there is a wedding or important event, my friends ask me to do their makeup.
