IV. HOBBIES

Ex. 1. a. Read the text.

Hobbies

  Many people have hobbies. A hobby is what people like to do when they have free time. Hobbies differ like tastes. People usually choose hobbies according to their character and taste.

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 travelling and from chess to volleyball.

  Gardening is one of the oldest of man's hobbies. It's a well-known fact that the English are very fond of gardening and growing flowers, especially roses.

Making things includes drawing, painting, making sculpture, designing costumes, handicrafts. Two of the most famous hobby painters were President Eisenhower and Sir Winston Churchill. Some hobbyists write music or play musical instruments.

Almost everyone collects something at some period in 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.

  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.

I think that everybody needs a hobby. Hobbies make our everyday life more bright and diverse. Moreover, most of them develop our skills and broaden our minds. They say that switching to another activity is the most effective way to rest. Hobbies are just perfect for that!

b. Identify the following statements as T (true) or F (false) and correct the false ones. Prove your ideas.

1. Hobby is an activity that you enjoy doing in your spare time.

UFO Hunter!

A strange shape is moving across the sky. Is it a bird? Is it an airplane? Or is it a UFO*? Nick Porter is fascinated by the possibility of life on other planets, so in his free time he tries to find out what these objects are. We asked him some questions about his unusual hobby.

• 
  So, Nick, why are you so interested in UFOs?
  
• 
  Well, thousands of people see strange objects in the sky all over the world. Most of these are planets, meteors, or military planes – but what about the rest? I’m a very curious person, so I want to find an explanation!
  
• 
  And what exactly does your hobby involve?
  
• 
  Well, I started a UFO club and we mostly investigate sightings. We interview witnesses and analyze videos and photos. Sometimes we go out to a UFO “hotspot” too. In fact, we’re going out tonight. We usually go high up on a rooftop or a hillside. If we see something strange, we record as much information as we can! We use camcorders, cameras, telescopes, and other devices. Then we analyze the information on our laptops.
  
• 
  Maybe some of our readers are thinking about taking up UFO hunting now! What advice do you have for them?
  
• 
  Well, anyone can become a UFO hunter. You just need to be enthusiastic and patient. You also need to join a local club. This way, you find out where the UFO hotspots are, and you have witnesses if you spot something.
  

So, what are you waiting for? UFO hunting is a lot of fun, and you never know – you might just turn science fiction into science fact!
