I. Read and translate the text “What is a hobby”

What is a hobby?

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.

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 sculpture, designing costumes, handicrafts.

Almost everyone collects something at some period of his life: stamps, coins, matchboxes, books, records, CDs, postcards, toys. Some collections have no real value. Others become so large and so valuable that they are housed in museums and galleries. Sometimes rich people collect paintings, rare books, and art and science objects. Often such private collections are given to museums, libraries and public galleries so that other people get the chance of seeing them.

That doesn’t matter what kind of hobby a person has, he always has the opportunity of learning from it. By reading about the things you are interested in, you add the information to the one you already know. So learning things can be the most exciting aspect of a hobby.
