My Hobby

Sometimes students ask this question: What’s your hobby?” but not everybody has one and they say: “I like cycling, walking, listening to music, watching TV, reading, talking to my friends.”

But a hobby is something like a habit, a pastime, when you devote all you time to it, you can’t do without it.

Some people don’t like noise or a great number of people. After a hard work they come home and have a rest sewing or knitting. A friend of mine likes to spend her free time sewing skirts, blouses, dresses. She can knit as well.

Another friend likes to make everything with his own hands he can repair: an iron, a tape-recorder, a radio-set and whatnot.

Many boys and girls and grown-ups are fond of collecting old coins, postcards and stamps. Some boys and girls are fond of listening to the short-wave bands on the radio.
