A hobby is a favourite pastime of a person. Hobbies differ like tastes. If your have chosen a hobby up to your liking, lucky you are: you have made your life more interesting.

Numerous hobbies are: doing
thing, making things, collecting things and learning things.

The
most known
of all hobbies is doing things. It consists
of
a wide variety of activities, everything from gardening to travelling
and from chess to volleyball. Gardening is one the oldest man’s
hobbies, especially in some countries. Computer games are becoming
more and more popular hobby among young people. Almost everyone
gathers
something at some period in his life: stamps, coins, matchboxes,
books, records, etc. Making things includes drawing, making
sculptures, designing costumes. Some hobbyists
write music.

No
matter what kind of hobby a person has, he always has the possibility
of learning from it. Learning things can be the most interesting
aspect of a hobby.

1. the most suitable hobbies for
   children

2. the most suitable hobbies for
   young people

3. the most suitable hobbies for
   aged people

4. the most suitable hobbies for
   everybody

9. Read the text choosing the right form of the words and say why people collect things.

At some
point in our childhood I’m sure that most of us collected
something. At least it was chewing gum stick/stickers/sticky or
stamps. Who would deny the thrill they felt on finding an object
which completed their collection/collect/ collective after weeks of
searching?

It is
therefore not difficult to understand why some people continue to
collect objects in their adult years.

People
collect all kinds of things from beermats
to value/valuable works of art. For some it is simply a way of
spending the time while others see it as a wise way to spend their
money. After all, there are some who discover that their seemingly
humble collections are actually waste/wasting of their money.

What may be a
fascinate/fascination/fascinating collection for one person, may be
dull and uninteresting for others. Some others may not always
understand a collector’s passion. These people continue to feel
that their hobby is worthwhile and satisfy/satisfying/satisfaction.
