I have many hobbies because there are many interesting things to do. Unfortunately I don't have much spare time as I'm going to be a student. That's why I have to study a lot. I like doing different things: Such as reading detective stories, listening to the music, playing tennis with my classmates. But my favorite hobby is solving crossword puzzles. It's not only interesting, but also very useful. When you try to solve the puzzle you find out and learn a lot of different facts. Because in puzzles there are questions about famous people, geographical places, countries, scientific achievements and so on. You also train your brain. The crosswords are published in newspapers and magazines and there are special newspapers that contain only crosswords. I sometimes try to make up my own puzzle and I can say that it is not less interesting. All the members of our family like to take part in solving the puzzles and this unites us very much.
Many people have hobbies. They make our life more interesting. A hobby is what people like to do when they have free time. Everyone chooses a hobby according to his character and taste. Some people are fond of music, others like to read books. Some people like to collect stamps, coins or badges, others prefer gardening or hiking or taking photographs. Some people like to cook, others like to knitter sew. Generally speaking, a hobby is a matter of taste.
My hobby is playing computer games. Both grown-ups and children are fond of it now. It has become one of the most popular hobbies nowadays. I think that playing with a computer is very interesting. It is not only "wasting time" as some people say.
Computer games make us to think things over proper-ly, they widen and develop our mind and imagination. I have a good collection of different games and when I have some free time I play them with great pleasure. My favorite game is…
Some of my friends have the same hobby and we like to play together.
Spare Time, My Hobby
A hundred years ago there was no problem of what working people could do with their spare time. Their hours of work were so long that they had hardly any leisure. Nowadays it’s even hard to name all the activities, entertainments and hobbies run by people in their free time. A growing number of people prefer watching films, performances, sporting events on TV to attending them. There exists quite a different sort of leisure activities, betting and gambling for example, which give thousands of people hope for a huge prize, and a sense of excitement and expectation. There are various pursuits that people choose to pass away their free time. Nowadays people spend ours watching different informational, educational or environment programs. Other popular occupations are listening to the radio, reading books, 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 the calm way of spending their free time. They are fond of quite rambles or walks in parks or gardens. More serious people prefer to visit museums, art galleries or theaters. Aerobics and shopping are two of the most popular pursuits for women. Cooking is also very widespread activity among them. But nothing can be compared with the feeling of those who take got really interested in some field of activity, which has become something favorite and admired. A "hobby" is a special interest or activity that you do in you free time off. Some people have animals as hobbies. They keep rabbits or go fishing. They train dogs to do tricks or keep pageants to race and carry messages. Some are crazy about plants. They try to grow cacti or rare tropical flowers in their kitchens and sitting rooms. Others are mad about their cars or their motorbikes. They spend their Saturdays and Sundays washing them, painting them or buying new bits and pieces to make them go even faster. Children and teenagers are great collectors. They collect stamps or postcards or pictures of a favorite football or pop star. Many people make things as a hobby. I have several hobbies which occupy me after school, both in and out of the house. Sometimes I wonder how I fit them all into my schedule because I have a lot of homework. Everyday I have not much time to relax. In that period I usually rest after hard school day, listen to music, watch TV and videos, read books and magazines. Computer is one of my main hobbies and interests. I choose computer technology as one of my options and now I study in Belarussian State University in that field of science. Sometimes I play games to relax. Every weekend I spend a lot of time in the World Wide Web. I use the Internet for educational process, for finding special technical literature in different subjects and of cause for fun. I have a great number of web friends and we like to spend a lot of time talking to one another.
Also I have a great interest in computer programming. Moreover, I have a big collection of cd-disks and records. They include reggae, pop, classical, jazz, easy listening. My mum always telling me off for putting my hi-fi on too loud. Whenever I get spare time, I go in different sport clubs and complexes and play different team and single games such as tennis, football, volleyball, and basketball. It keeps me fit and happy. I can say with confidence that reading is my favorite hobby. Books brings pleasure and delight. Besides books help to mold a person character from his moral values. Thanks to books we learn to express our thoughts and feelings more exactly and of cause books is the richest source of information. Sometimes my friends and I exchange opinions about books, speak about them, exchange books. Among my favorite gainers are fantasy, philosophy and technical literature. I think that hobbies and interests are an important factor of life. They help to form a person, to relax and forget problems for a short while. They can be fun, educational, satisfying and also you can pursuer them when you are old and retired.
Nowadays people work all day long and rarely have spare time to rest and to do something they like. But if they have it they try to waste it in the way they prefer. And there are a lot of possibilities to do it perfect. People can choose everything from sport to spending a good time in the country according to desires. And there are a lot of things to do that can help you not to feel bored. And activity is much better then doing nothing. The most active way, in my opinion is go in for sport. You can do sports all the year round because there are a lot of kinds of sport for all seasons. Basketball, Football players are always on stadiums. And in winter a lot of ski-walkers occupy the snowy slopes and skaters walk on ice of stadiums and icy rivers. Moreover, it can be risking sports, which is more exiting to do. Doing such kind of sport you feel that our life doesn't stay it's going forward. Our friends also help us to spend a good spare time. Because they often have interesting ideas of spending free time and it’s much better to spend free time with them. Nowadays music occupies the most part of people's mind among teenagers especially. People communicate according to their music tastes. They visit disco clubs, concert halls to listen to music and to dance. People also have pop idols that attract them by their voice or appearance and they are ready to follow them to the ends of the earth. Some people say that theaters are not popular nowadays but I think that a lot of people still enjoy the play of actors and marvelous productions of plays. And our theaters are world famous. Theaters teach you to feel hate and love, joy and unhappiness… In other words theater help you to become more human. Reading books, papers and magazines is also a way of spending leisure time. You can choose a genre according to your mood and read whatever you want. From magazines and papers you know the latest news in the world of politics, fashion, cooking, technology. But technology is developing so fast that such way of getting information becomes old. With developing of Internet information is available in each point of earth. Moreover, it's a way of communicating with people.
And people all over the world sit at the computers chatting or exploring the Internet all day long. Children spend a lot of free time playing computer games. And statistic shows that 70% of users of the Internet are teenagers. But some people prefer to go to a country to breath fresh air and resting or travel somewhere. Traveling becomes more and more popular. People like to visit other places to escape from daily routing. And all resorts are full in the time of holidays. As for me I think that the most exciting leisure time spending can be all activities like sport or traveling somewhere with friends because I never feel bored with my friends. For example every holiday I go somewhere with my best friend from Moscow. And we always have a good time wherever we go. And I think that everyone can find an occupation. Maybe in some countries people have more opportunities for recreation because of the new inventions or another factors. But I think that each man can travel everywhere and try each way of spending free time. the city where we live give us a lot of places to go. And from day to day the number of places of interest grows. But the only thing that is necessary for citizens is fresh air and little islands of nature. People need to walk in the parks that become more and more rare. In spite of this people always can find a way to spend leisure time. Because our world is full of new interesting and exiting thing that every man want to explore.
A hobby is something that people like to do when they are not busy with their usual work and have some free time. It is something done entirely for pleasure. Hobbies differ like tastes. If you have chosen a hobby according to your character and taste you are lucky because your life becomes more interesting. Hobbies are divided into four large classes: doing things, making things, collecting things and learning things.
The most popular of all hobby groups is doing things. It includes a wide variety of activities, everything from gardening to traveling and from chess to volleyball.
Gardening is one of the oldest of man's hobbies. It is known that the English are very fond of gardening and growing flowers, especially roses.
Both grown-ups and children are fond of playing different computer games. This is a relatively new hobby but it is becoming more and more popular.
Making things includes drawing, painting, making sculptures, designing costumes, handicrafts. Two of the most famous amateur painters were President Eisenhower and Sir Winston Churchill. Some hobbyists write music or play musical instruments. President Bill Clinton, for example, plays the saxophone.
Almost everyone collects something at some period of his life: stamps, coins, matchboxes, books, records, postcards, toys, watches. Some collections have no real value. Others become so large and so valuable that they are housed in museums and galleries. Many world-famous collections started in a small way with one or two items. People with a good deal of money often collect paintings, rare books and other objects d’art. Often such private collections are given to museums, libraries and public galleries so that others might take pleasure in seeing them.
As for as I am concerned, I was always fond of collecting stamps. My mother had started collecting stamps long before I was born. She gave me her six albums of stamps as a birthday present when I was twelve. Then I continued collecting stamps myself. It helped me to learn a lot about other countries and other peoples’ traditions, the world’s fauna and flora. I used to bring the albums to school and sometimes exchanged stamps with my schoolmates.
About a year ago my parents bought me a tape recorder and I decided to collect tapes. I am fond of listening to music. I like rock and pop music and classical music too. Now I collect tapes of my favorite groups and singers. I also try to find out everything about the singers I like. I read specialized magazines and try not to miss musical shows on TV, because I want to keep up with the news in the world of music. I write letters to some fan clubs in other countries, so I have to brush up my English. I never miss a concert by my favorite group if they come to our city.
No matter what kind of hobby a person has, he always has the opportunity of learning from it. By reading about the things he is interested in, he is adding to what he knows. Learning things can be the most exciting aspect of a hobby.
Taste differ. Different people like different things, different people have different hobbies.
I go in for sports, I like to play tennis. I go to play tennis every day.
Sport is a very important part of our life. Many people go in for sports, they jogging, walking, swimming, skating, skiing, train themselves in clubs and different sections.
Physical training is an important subject at school. Pupils play volleyball, football, basketball.
I have been playing tennis for 5 years. Tennis has become very popular now. I take part in different competitions.
To be in a good shape I'm jogging every morning and do my morning exercises.
Everyone should do all he can to stay healthy and choose the sport he is interested in. I do not understand people who say that they like sport, but they only watch sport on TV.
If one goes in for sports he feels much better, looks much better, sleeps much better. Your physical appearance will change too. You will be slimmer and trimmer. And what is even more important you will not get sick often.
Why do I go in for sports? Because I think that it is very important for a man to be strong and well-built. Sport is not for weak, because, you have to learn how to lose, and it's not easy.
My favorite proverb says: "A sound mind in sound body".
Questions:
1. What is your hobby?

3. Do you like summer (winter) sports?

Leisure time
It is not easy to say exactly what teenagers in different countries do in their leisure time. I think that, in the main our interests and tastes do not differ very much. They are engaged in sports activities. They listen to their favorite music bands or take part in different concerts. Teenagers discover the world and themselves. In the main, all young people are individualists. Youth is the time when young people work out their outlook. At the same time they need collective experience to share their dreams and interests. Teenagers unite in specific organizations.
The first organization that brought together thousands of teenagers in different countries was that of the Scouts. The aim of this association was originally to train boys in various different skills such as lighting a fire and to develop their character. Now the Scouts are active all around the world. The motto of the Scouts is "Be Prepared." After the October Revolution a similar Pioneer organization was created in Russia. The Pioneers were supported and sponsored by the government. Now the Pioneers do not exist in our country.
The Scouts and Pioneers were the first, but not the only organizations of the young people. For example today the volunteer movement is extremely popular among the teenagers. It dates back to the year 1921, when a French soldier decided to restore a German house after World War I free of charge. The movement flourished only in the late 1990s when young people of Europe and the United States went to different parts of the world helping local communities to solve their problems. Today volunteerism is very popular in the American community and political life. Volunteerism implies assisting people through privately initiated agencies. Volunteers do not receive any salary for what they are doing, but at the same time their work is highly motivated. They react very quickly, immediately coming to help to whoever may need it. There are several types of volunteer work: workcamps, mid-term and long-term volunteering projects. Any young man from any continent can come to workcamps. These camps attain certain objectives in social, ecological, archaeological fields. Usually all works are done under the supervision of professionals. The mid-and long-term projects usually concern the social sphere. They include assistance to children, old people, crippled or immigrants. Volunteer fund-raising groups unite to help the needy in all spheres. They can do almost any work that is necessary. Volunteers can be found in any part of the globe. In the United States six out of ten pupils are members of some volunteer organisations.
All three organizations that were mentioned above are more or less formal. At the same time there are many informal associations of teenagers. Very often they are not even registered, and if they are, no one cares about what they are doing. No records are kept of their activities. They emerge, evolve and disintegrate without leaving a trace in history. Nevertheless such organizations are extremely important for their participants. They serve as a means for teenagers to express themselves, meet new friends that have common interests, discuss problems that are really important to them. Quite often a famous book, a movie or a musical band can serve as an impulse for creating such organizations. Fan clubs of different rock and pop groups are numerous. Fan clubs usually consist of teenagers. Members of such clubs listen collectively to their favorite songs, attend concerts, write letters to their idols.
The most spectacular example of unofficial organization is presented by the Tolkienist movement. J.R.R. Tolkien, the famous British writer created a magic world of elves, dwarves, and hob-bits. Any person who likes Tolkien's novels can become a Tolkienist. This community is open to everyone; young people come and go, they choose a race, becoming, for example, an elf or a goblin. Their imagination will carry them as far as they want. In Russia Tolkien is extremely popular now. In Moscow there are several places where his fans assemble to share their views and ideas.
Other teenagers go much further. They are not satisfied with the world they are living in, and the worlds created by others do not attract them either. They create their own worlds and universes. In this context Role-Playing Games (also called RPG) should be mentioned. The first RPG was Dungeons and Dragons (D'n'D), a Dungeon Muster (DM) is responsible for outlining the rules of the newly created world, while other players act as the inhabitants of this world, Participating in such activity can be really thrilling, but the danger of quitting the real world for an imaginary one is always present. Such groups and organizations are escapists in their essence. Unlike volunteers they are not aimed at making our world better.
– Why do the young organize their clubs?
– The young do not want to accept the world of the adults with their organizations for the teenagers. They rebel against it in different ways, sometimes in the form of creating their unofficial organizations and clubs. They organize according to their interests into different sub-cultural groups.
– Do you belong to any group or organisation?
- No, I do not. My elder brother used to be a Pioneer, but now such official or semi-official organizations do not attract me. For a couple of years I attended the meetings of the Tolkienists, acting as a little dwarf. Although I am still a great fan of Tolkien's books, I do not think any longer that I should waste my time living an imaginary life in the imaginary world. The world we all are living in is full of wonders. There is always somebody who needs our help. A lot of my friends are supporters of Greenpeace, and I will soon join their actions. Greenpeace is doing a very important job of rescuing the nature. People of different ages help Greenpeace, and I believe that young people should participate in the activities of this organization more actively.
– What do your friends do in their leisure time?
– As I have already said, some of my friends help Greenpeace. I still have many friends among the Tolkienists. Some of my friends are fond of RPGs. They meet every Saturday in groups of 5 or 6, They draw a map and for hours discuss the fates of their heroes. One game can last several months or sometimes a year. Although my best friend who is a Dungeon Master often invites me to join his RPG, I am sure that the real life is much more interesting than any imaginary adventures.
Verbitskaya M. V. Forward. English for 11…
It is important for each of us to learn to talk about our hobbies. This is especially necessary in school years when we make friends for the rest of our lives. Therefore, if in doubt about writing an essay on the topic “My hobby”, it is better to look at the samples and be inspired to write your own story that interests you. Under each heading, you will find two options for essays: for a girl and for a boy.
For a girl (114 words). My hobby is drawing. I am happy to depict what I see. I love to draw with felt-tip pens and paints. I want to become a talented artist. That's why I practice every day.
Most of all I like to draw nature and flowers. I don't always have time to do what I want in class. But at home I always sit down and finish the drawing. I have a beautiful view from the window, and I can constantly look at it. But I still love art lessons. There we are shown paintings by famous artists and are taught to draw correctly.
I want to go to art school so I can draw better and better. Someday I would like to be a famous artist. My paintings could bring joy to people. This is what I strive for.
For a boy (103 words). My hobby is football. I love outdoor games. I especially like to play with friends when it's warm. We would have been chasing the ball until late, there is no more fun activity.
It's nice when the game is interesting. On weekends, our games are watched by relatives and just passers-by and get sick. I feel like a real athlete. It just seems that football is easy. This is not true. The game requires attention, strength and dexterity. It is not given to the weak and cowardly. I try to play well to be respected on the pitch. I would like to be successful in sports.
Football, according to parents, tempers character. I agree with them. Sport makes a person better and teaches him to win.
Grade 2
For a girl (132 words). A real hobby is something that is always pleasant to do. For example, I like to sing and dance. I love to move to music and sing along to it. At such moments, I have a lot of fun. It's hard for me to sit still when I hear a melody.
Dances are different. I like the way they dance hip-hop. This is a very fast and difficult dance. It requires dexterity and natural talent. Each movement must be remembered and repeated exactly as shown. When I grow up, I will definitely learn this art. While I'm just starting, but I believe in myself.
I also like Latin American dances, but they are more for adults. It looks very nice in their performance! It must be hard to move the same way. It comes with great difficulty and after many trainings.
I would like to move as beautifully as professional dancers. Movement, they say, expresses the soul.
For a boy (129 words). I love building Lego. They give me new parts for every holiday. I like to create my own inventions. It is very interesting. I try to do something every day.
I collect constructors slowly so as not to make a mess. I'm sorry to mess up the details. Therefore, I first lay them out, then I do everything according to the instructions. Sometimes I ask my dad to help, he has golden hands. I really like to deal with him, I learn a lot of new things. He says that someday I will be able to build computers or cars, maybe even robots.
My holidays are always interesting thanks to my hobby. Dad calls me to the garage and shows me the details of the car. I would like to be able to understand them myself, but so far it is difficult. Although the constructors also seemed complicated at first, but then it became easier.
I am glad that I have such an interesting hobby.
3-4 class
For a girl (135 words). My hobby is needlework. I often make something: snowflakes and garlands for the new year, crafts for everyone as a gift, decorations for dolls. I like to create beautiful things with my own hands.
In my desk, all the drawers are stuffed with different clippings, shreds and beads. I collect all the beautiful things for crafts. When I see something in the store, I think how to make it myself. I love when everything around is decorated and bright, I like to make a holiday every day. Recently I drew and glued postcards to all my relatives. They were very pleased.
My parents often give me nice gifts for my hobby. Recently, my grandmother brought sparkles with which I will decorate a lot of things. Each item inspires me. My family supports me in this. Mom helped me more than once with my fantasies.
I believe that what you love should bring joy to the whole family. And so it turns out.
For boys (137 words). A real man must be strong. That's why I love sports. I would also like to excel at the Olympics or some other competition.
In the yard I often play football, basketball and volleyball. I like moving games like tag, but that's just for fun. Swimming or hockey is much harder and more interesting, but I can't do it every day yet. I would really like to go to the wrestling circle. My parents say that soon I will start professionally.
I have already watched boxing matches with my dad. I also want to be the same hardy and persistent. Sport develops these qualities, and they will come in handy everywhere. I would like to know how to fight properly so that I can stand up for myself.
I have not yet decided what kind of sport I want to do all my life. So far I like a lot. I choose between Greco-Roman wrestling, swimming and football. I hope I become a champion!
5-6 grade
For girls (155 words). I really enjoy cooking. When my mother or grandmother cooks, I always help and learn from them. My hobby is not only to make food, but also to decorate it. I always like to eat not only tasty, but also beautiful. My dishes have an interesting appearance.
In the future, I would like to become a confectioner, because I like making sweets the most. Desserts require a special art: their lover must be able to surprise. Sweet in itself is harmful, so a person will think three times before taking it. But a talented cook will always make him forget about everything in the world. His work will look like no one can resist. I want to become the same gifted confectioner.
While I'm just learning to cook, but I already have signature dishes. For example, I make a very tasty charlotte. The secret is to add crushed nuts and brandy to the dough. Then the cake takes on a completely different taste. I read this recipe online. It is now a family favorite.
For a boy (155 words). My hobby is video games. I don't just play them, I dream of making them. To do this, you need to study how and why this or that game works. I already know a lot about them and willingly share my knowledge with my friends in the game. In my team, my skills are highly valued. I think my whole life will be connected with new technologies.
Many condemn this occupation, but in vain. It is no different from other harmless forms of leisure. It can even become useful: it is easy and fun to study history through games. You can become Caesar or Napoleon, change the course of the history of the whole world, or follow in the footsteps of generals and emperors. You can continue your favorite book, because many games are made on the basis of literary plots.
I especially like historical games, but I also really like fantasy games. It all depends on the mood and purpose. Something is suitable for entertainment and communication with the guys, something seriously loads the brain. However, all these games deserve attention, because they enrich the inner world of a person in their own way.
7th grade
For girls (158 words). My hobby is reading. I like to immerse myself in literary plots and find fascinating descriptions of the world around them. With the help of books, you can learn, see and feel much more than a person manages to do in one life.
I read every day, most often in the evenings when everything is done. Then the book gives the desired rest for the body, but the brain is actively working, helping to invent images of characters. Literature develops fantasy, because a person represents what he reads about. I like to lie in silence and dream about how what the author wrote happens. So I become his partner.
I also like literary language. It is richer than our speech. With it, you can express your thoughts much more interestingly, become an outstanding interlocutor. I even write down some phrases to remember. In them I find an explanation for many incomprehensible things happening around.
In the future, I want to choose a profession related to literature. I like working with the word, maybe I'll write my own book. In the meantime, I'm just a reader, but thoughtful and attentive.
For a boy (163 words). I am a film buff. My hobby is not only watching movies, but also reading reviews and reviews. I like to learn more and more about the world of cinema, because this area is now developing very rapidly. New items never cease to delight me every year.
Cinema is a whole world in art. The success of a film depends on many details that are not noticeable at first glance. In a good film, every frame is a picture, thought out and finished. Sometimes the whole impression of the viewer depends on the color of the scenery or on the change of plans. And the script in general is a very complicated thing, you can’t please everyone. Therefore, a quality film is an amazing achievement of a huge number of people.
When I watch a movie, I am immersed in other lives. Video gives me a chance to see the world in all its diversity. I see things that I would never have seen without cinema. I learn more and more, although I do not sit at the textbooks.
I would like to turn this hobby into a profession: to become a film critic or even a director. I would also like to make people recognize the world around them from my work.
Interesting? Save it on your wall!Hobby is a person's favorite occupation, something that he likes doing in free time. It is very important for us to do what we are really interested in and what we are good at. It lets us show our worth and become aware of the importance and usefulness of our life.
Usually people choose hobbies according to their interests. Some people are fond of collecting different things. They collect coins, postcards, toys, objects of art and stamps. I have a friend Vika. Collecting coins is her hobby. She is a numismatist and her collection includes about 100 different coins. Others like to draw pictures or they are fond of singing. Thus, everything depends on the person.
As far as my interests are concerned, my favorite occupation is reading. I like to read story books, detectives, historical books and any kind of material that I find interesting. I like to read because my grandmother always read me some fairy tales and stories during my childhood. When I was about 10 my parents always bought me books to read. They always told me that habit of reading is one of the best traits that a man can brag. Now I read about anything that is available. Reading enables me to learn about so many new things. I learn about some historical facts, different human achievements, space travel and other fascinating things of our world. My room is full of different books and I dream of becoming a writer.
my younger brother, on the opposite, is not hopping to make his computer hobby his future profession. He just plays computer games and doesn’t see any sense in combining career with hobby. It simply became his favorite activity in his leisure time and is helping him relax. I respect his choice. But anyway it is great when your hobby is your profession.

Letter to a friend in English about a hobby
Dear Madeline,
It was great to hear from you! I "m really glad you passed your Physics test.
You asked me about hobbies which are popular with Russian teens. Well many teenagers are interested in music and playing computer games. Others are into collecting or doing sports. As for me, my hobby is cooking. I collect traditional Russian recipes and cook these dishes. However, I feel I don't have enough time for my hobby as I've got too much homework. If I had more free time, I'd take up photography. It's really exciting.
Anyway, it's great that school is over. What are you going to do in summer? Will you stay with your grandparents? Would you like to visit other countries?
Well, I'd better go now. I've got to get ready for my chess. Wish me luck!
take care,

Dear Madeleine,
It was great to hear from you! I'm really glad you passed your physics test.
You asked me about hobbies that Russian teenagers like. Well, many teenagers are interested in music and playing computer games. Others collect or play sports. As for me, my hobby is cooking. I collect traditional Russian recipes and cook these dishes. However, I feel like I don't have much time for my hobbies as I have too much homework. If I had more free time, I would take up photography. It's really exciting.
Anyway, it's great that school is over. What are you going to do in summer? Will you stay with your grandparents? Would you like to visit other countries?
