MY HOBBIES AND
PASTIME
Hobby is what people like doing in their free time. Most people
choose a hobby according to their likes and dislikes.
One of the most popular hobbies is collecting different things.
Some people collect badges and stamps, some people collect
bottles or flowers. There are people who collect paintings or
cars.
I collected coins when I was a child. I have a collection of
more than one thousand coins from all over the world. My father
collects stamps. His grandfather started collecting them and
then he gave his collection to my father as a birthday present.
There are very rare stamps in the collection.
Making things with hands is another type of hobbies. This
includes drawing, painting, handicraft, etc. For example, my
friend sews small plush toys. My brother makes toy planes. He
has a big collection of them at home.
Playing computer games has become a very popular hobby today. My
brother is fond of computer games. On the one hand it is good
that a person has such a hobby, but on the other hand it is not
healthy, it can harm his eyes.
Speaking about me, my major hobby is English. I am very good at
it. My hobby includes reading books in English, listening to
English radio stations and watching films in English. I also
talk to my foreign friends and this helps me improve my
knowledge of the language.
I also like listening to music. I have a big collection of CDs
with different kinds of music. I also have some favourite
singers and I collect information about them.
Sport is another type of hobbies. It is not a professional
sport, mostly amateur sport. Some people play football or
volleyball. Others prefer spending their free time watching
sports programmes on TV. I think that doing sport is a good
hobby.
Now I want to talk about ways of spending free time. I think
that hobbies and pastime are connected with each other because
you do whatever you like in your free time. My friend likes
travelling and he spends most of his free time travelling to
small Russian towns. He has a car and every weekend he drives to
the country to see new places. Sometimes I go with him. I think
that this is a very good hobby. You spend much time outdoors and
you see new places.
Personally, I like reading and watching TV in my free time. Most
of all I like English educational programmes, though there are
few of them unfortunately. I think it is necessary to have a
hobby. Your free time is not wasted.
