A
hobby makes your life much more interesting
Our life would be difficult without rest and recreation. People have different
ideas of how to spend their free time. For some of them the only way to relax is
watching TV or reading. But others use their spare time getting maximum benefit
from it. If you enjoy doing some activity for fun and enjoyment in your free time,
then you have a hobby. It is a kind of self-expression, the way to understand other

much.

1c Say what you think of the free-time activities, using the phrases from
Стр.7
people and the whole world. A person`s hobbies depend on age, intelligence level,
character and personal interests. That is why some people prefer knitting, cooking,
collecting, painting, fishkeeping while others like dancing, travelling, camping or
sports.
Collecting things is a very popular hobby and it may deal with almost any
subject. Some people collect stamps, coins, books, clocks or toys. Other people
collect beer cans, stones, matchboxes and all sorts of things. Some people don`t
even remember how their collection started and now their houses are full of
different knick-knacks. But others collect valuable and rare things as they consider
it to be good investment of their money.
If you are active and tired of town life and you want to get away from
civilization, then camping is for you. It is a cheap way to rest, to improve your
health, to enjoy nature. Some people like extreme camping when they have to
survive out-of-doors, obtain food from the wild and build shelters.
Thus, a hobby plays a very important educational and psychological role,
makes you stronger physically and mentally, helps you escape from reality,
improve your knowledge, broaden your mind, develop your skills and gain a better
understanding of how the world works.
