SPEECH PATTERNS | VOCABULARY | LEXICAL EXERCISES | HОBBIES | WEEKEND IN ENGLAND | SPORTS IN GREAT BRITAIN |


Exercise 1. Read the text, find the information to do exercise 2, following the text.

A hobby is what you can and like to do in your spare time. People choose a hobby according to their tastes, personalities and temper. With a hobby one’s life gets more interesting.

Some people are interested in music. They collect records, compact discs and tape recordings of their favourite musicians and singers or attend their concerts. Others like to collect books, postcards or stamps. City inhabitants often like to go hiking because they want to get closer to the nature. They spend their weekends and holidays in the forest and countryside. Some others like to work in their gardens and grow vegetables and fruit. Gardening and growing roses is quite popular among British. It is one of the most common hobbies there.

Both children and grown-ups are nowadays fond of computer games. With the development of new technologies such games became popular. Very often a hobby helps us to choose a profession and has a substantial influence even on the life style.

A lot of people are fond of sport. It is not only interesting, it helps you to keep yourself in good shape and be healthy. Many people like taking photographs, others prefer knitting or cooking. A lot of people like animals and have a cat, a dog or a parrot at home. They take care of their pets and spend much time with their animals. They read books about animals, watch films about them, like to see them at the Zoo.

Some newspapers write that there are more than 1000 hobbies in the world to spend one’s free time. It is very difficult to describe all of them. The main thing is that all of them must be useful and help your cultural development. My point of view is that leisure time as well as work must be thought over. In that case you will have a good and useful rest and you will forget what a bore is. Lots of people devote their free time to a hobby. Choose an interesting hobby for yourself and enjoy it!
