Hobby can be any type of activity, which people do during their leisure time. Most people choose a hobby for relaxation, pleasure, or for development of new interests. People of almost any age can enjoy hobbies. A hobby offers a way to relax after periods of hard work. Almost any kind of leasure activity can become a hobby. Most hobbies are divided into four general categories, which may overlap. They are the arts, collecting, handicrafts, games and sports.

There are such art forms, as dancing, drama, painting, graphic arts, and music. Each art form has many possibilities for a hobby. For example, music may include singing, playing an instrument, collecting records and tapes, learning ballet, or attending concerts or operas. Painting offers the hobbyist a wide choice of materials, such as oil paints or water colours.

Collecting is probably the most widespread kind of hobby, because almost any thing can be collected. Stamps and coins are the most popular items. Hobbyists also collect such things as autographs, books, dolls, buttons, etc.

Handicrafts attract a hobbyist who can work skilfully with their hands. Many of them are engaged in needlework activities, crocheting, knitting, and sewing. Some use kits to make model aeroplanes, boats, and trains. Other handicrafts include ceramics, metalworking, jewellery making, etc.

Games and sports are popular with many hobbyists who enjoy competition, physical activity, and exercise. Thousands of hobbyists take part in sports, such as bowling, fishing, mountain climbing, skiing, and tennis. Popular indoor games include card games, chess. Nowadays, electronics-related hobbies are becoming increasingly popular. Many people, especially children, play computer games.

Look at the e-mail. Your friend Chris has just moved to England. He has sent you a letter about his new school.

Dear friend!

     I'm fine and hope the same for you. I'm writing this letter telling you about my first day at the new school.

 My new school is very big. It has four floors, a lot of stairs, big dassrooms and huge lunch room where you get to pick your own lunch. It has a park across the street called Douglas and a playground in the back and you can go to the park or the playground at the break.

     My classroom is on the second floor. It's light and clean. There are three large windows in my classroom. On the walls of our dassroom there are different colour maps, portraits and posters.

    There are many opportunities to go in for sports in our school. Our school has a gym, a sports ground, a

football field, a swimming pool and other sports facilities.

     However I'm feeling very unhappy. Because, I haven't got any friends here. I tried very hard to make

friends at school, but people don't like to talk to me.

    Can you tell something about the ways I can make friends? Please, give me some advice.

Love, Chris.
