So at school we have to make a CV, even though I've made like 3 before I'm just wondering on the "achievements" section (we have to have this) and the "hobbies" section are you suppose to write a paragraph about them or just list them?

For example I put :
Swimming (2003-2004), Gymnastics (2003), Attendance (throughout school years)

etc

But my friend put like:

Throughout my school and out of school years I have gained many awards. My first award was when I was in year 2 at school and recieved a certificate for 100% attendance. Later this year I recieved...

etc

I know we'll both pass the course but seeing as though I'll probably use this CV to apply for jobs what would you say would be the better option? I know you've got to sound interesting but she's written like 18 lines on achievements, surely that's going to bore people?

I've looked on templates and examples but no real help so if you could answer thank you. :)
