Alexander thinks that he has too many hobbies and too little time. He wants to
share his concern with his friend Peter from Poland. As Peter is coming to Moscowonly in two month's time, Alexander decides to write him. But before writing an
email, he puts his ideas in his diary:
Nowadays it's hard to name all the activities, entertainments and hobbies
practised by people in their free time. A growing number of people prefer
watching films, performances, sporting events on TV to attending them.
There exist quite different sorts of leisure activities which give thousands of
people a sense of excitement and expectation. There are various pursuits that
people choose to pass their free time.Today people spend hours watching
different informative, educational or environment programmes. Other popular
occupations are surfing the Internet, playing computer games, listening to the
radio, rading books (often ebooks!), painting and so on. Many people prefer to go
in for different kinds of sports and lead an active way of life. Sometimes they
participate in competitions or contests and have a very good pastime. There are
people that prefer a calm way of spending their free time. They are fond of walks
in parks or gardens. More serious people prefer to visit museums, art galleries or
theatres.
Aerobics and shopping are two of the most popular pursuits for women.
Cooking Is also a very widespread activity among them. But nothing can be
compared to your favourite hobby. A hobby is a special interest or activity that
you do in your free time. Some people have animals as hobbies. They keep rabbits,
or go fishing, or train dogs to do tricks. Some are crazy about plants. They try to
grow cacti or tropical flowers in their kitchens and sitting rooms. Others are mad
about their cars or motorbikes. They spend their Saturdays and Sundays washing
them, painting them or buying new parts to make them go even faster.
Thanks for your letter. You've written about a very serious problem.
In your letter you ask me about my friends and my parents' attitude towards them. I've got a lot of friends. Some of them are interested in rock music. My parents don't understand it but they never show their negative attitude. Of course, I'm sure that my parents' opinion is very important because they have got more experience. However, if my parents don't like my friends, I try to explain them my opinion and we discuss the situation. Sometimes they are right!
Sorry, I have to do my homework. Keep in touch.
Best wishes,
Kaitlyn

2. Could you ask them to turn the music down?
3. There was a fight during the match and the referee sent two
players off.
4. We eat out about once a week and we cook at home the rest of the time.
5. I love this song! Turn it up!
6. I used to play the trumpet, but I gave up last year because
I didn't have time.
7. We stopped playing because of the rain, but when it stopped we carried on.
8. A good way of getting more exercise is to take up a sport,
like basketball.
