The Person I admire
Sometimes people come into
your life and you know they are to be there for some purpose, to teach you a
lesson or to help you understand who you are. The people who you meet affect
your life and your success and downfalls. They help to create who you become. On
the first day of school our professor introduced himself and asked us to meet
someone we didn’t know. I saw a wrinkled little old lady smiling at us. Her
smile lit up her whole being. She said: “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose/ I’m 87.
I’ve always dreamed of college education and now I’m getting it.” We became friends.
Every day for the next several months we left the class together and talked
nonstop. She shared her wisdom and experience with me. At the end of the year
Rose gave her graduation speech. “we don’t stop playing because we are old. We
grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets of staying young,
being happy and successful. You are to laugh and find humour every day. You’ve
got to have a dream. When you lose your dream you die. There is a huge
difference between growing older and growing up. Anyone can grow older. That
doesn’t take any ability or talent. The idea is to grow up by finding a chance in
change. All the students liked Rose. She taught us by her example that is never
too late to be all you can possibly be. We make a living by what we get. We
make a life by what we give.

The history of the Word “Hobby”
1.
The word owes its origin to a small horse called
‘hobby’/ It was a wooden toy which children rode like a real horse, hobby. From
this came the expression “to ride one’s hobby-horse means activity for
enjoyment.
2.
There are hobbies for every personality,
lifestyle and budget. Popular hobbies always involve collecting items like
coins, stamps, cards etc.
3.
Creating something useful or making things for
decoration can be both practical and fun, Acting, poetry, playing an instrument,
collecting CDs are good ways to spend a quality time.
4.
Board and card games like chess, checkers are a
great way to stimulate your mind and meet new people. Just remember that the
most important thing is that you have fun with whatever hobby you choose.
‘Hobby’, originally a diminutive of ‘Hob’, pet form of ‘Robert’, was used to denote a small horse, hence a child’s toy with a horse’s head, later a favourite occupation—cf. French ‘dada’, child’s word for horse, used to denote a favourite pastime (cf. also ‘violon d’Ingres’ and ‘dada’).
ORIGIN OF HOBBY (HORSE)
According to one theory, the noun hobby, in its original sense of a small horse or pony, is from the French noun of same meaning formerly spelt hobin, obin, etc., now aubin. This theory says that this noun is from the French verb hober, to move, derived from the verb hobeler, to harry, from Middle Dutch hob(b)elen, to turn, to move, based on an assumed Germanic verb hubbon, huppon, to which German hüpfen, to hop, is related.
But in view of the dates of the first English and French attestations, it is more likely that French hobin was borrowed from English (in turn, Italian borrowed the French word as ubino). In all probability, hobyn and hoby, the forms in which the English noun hobby appeared, are Hobin and Hobby, diminutives of Hob, pet form of the given name Robert (they correspond therefore to Robin and Robby.)
Similarly, the proper name Dobbin, diminutive of Dob, pet form of Robert, came to be a generic name for an ordinary draught or farm horse.
Likewise, the ass has been called neddy, from Ned, pet form of Edward, and dicky, diminutive of Dick. The name donkey is perhaps from Duncan or Dominic, and cuddy, a Scottish name for the ass, is probably from Cuthbert.
(The family names Hobson and Dobson are from those pet forms of Robert—cf. Hobson’s choice.)
SENSE EVOLUTION OF HOBBY (HORSE)
In early times, hobbies were chiefly referred to as of Irish breed, and in later times also as Welsh or Scotch. For example, a 15th-century poem written about the failed siege of Calais by the Duke of Burgundy in 1436 contains the following:
An Iyrysch man,
Uppone his hoby swyftly ran,
Hyt was a sportfulle syghte.
in contemporary English:
An Irishman,
Upon his hobby swiftly ran,
It was a sportful [= entertaining] sight.
The term hobby horse was also used in this sense; John Florio (1553-1625), English lexicographer, teacher of languages, translator and author of Italian descent, gave the following definition in A Worlde of Wordes, Or Most copious, and exact Dictionarie in Italian and English (London, 1598):
Vbino, a hobbie horse, such as Ireland breedeth.
In the sense of a child’s toy consisting of a stick with a model of a horse’s head at one end, hobby horse is first recorded in The Arte of English Poesie. Contriued into three Bookes: the first of Poets and Poesie, the second of Proportion, the third of Ornament (London, 1589), by the author and literary critic George Puttenham (circa 1529-circa 1591):
(1869 reprint)
King Agesilaus hauing a great sort of little children, was one day disposed to solace himself among them in a gallery where they plaied, and tooke a little hobby horse of wood and bestrid it to keepe them in play.
Because a favourite occupation or topic, pursued merely for the amusement or interest that it affords, was compared to the riding of a toy horse, hobby horse, later hobby, came to denote it. However, the term was initially used derogatorily by the judge and writer Sir Matthew Hale (1609-76) in Contemplations Moral and Divine. By a Person of great Learning and Judgment (London, 1676):
More vain and foolish is that pride, that is raised upon things that are either purely Adventitious or Forein, or in the meer power of other men, as Pride of Wealth, of Honour, of Applause, of Successes in actions, of Titles, gay Cloaths, many Attendants, great Equipage, Precedency, and such like accessions: And yet it is admirable to observe the Vanity of the generality of mankind, in this respect; there is scarce a man to be found abroad in the world, who hath not some elation of mind, upon the account of these and the like petty, vain, inconsiderable advantages; in all professions, as well Ecclesiastical as Secular; in all ranks and degrees of men, from the Courtier to the Page and Footboy; in all ages, as well old, as young; almost every person hath some hobby horse or other wherein he prides himself.
The shortened form denoting such an occupation or topic is first attested in The Antiquary (Edinburgh, 1816), by the Scottish novelist and poet Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832):
I quarrel with no man’s hobby, if he does not run it a tilt against mine.
In Peveril of the Peak (Edinburgh, 1823), the same author wrote, about Lady Peveril:
The good lady, in consideration, perhaps, of extensive latitude allowed to her in the more important concerns of the family, made a point of never interfering with her husband’s whims or prejudices; and it is a compromise which we would heartily recommend to all managing matrons of our acquaintance; for it is surprising how much real power will be cheerfully resigned to the fair sex, for the pleasure of being allowed to ride one’s hobby in peace and quiet.
(In French, dada, a child’s word meaning horse (comparable to British-English gee-gee) is also used in the sense of a favourite occupation or topic.)
In the following cartoon caption from Punch, or the London Charivari of 8th September 1860, hobby is used in both the senses of toy and favourite topic; John Russell is holding a hobby horse on which is carved the word Reform, and Master Pam is packing up unsettled bills (in 1860, the Liberal politician John Russell attempted to introduce electoral reform, but the Prime Minister, Lord Palmerston, nicknamed Pam, was against it):
Packing up for the holidays.
Master John Russell. “Please, Pam, find room for this.”
Master Pam (the Big Boy of the School). “No, certainly not. You must leave that old hobby of yours behind.”
OTHER USES OF HOBBY HORSE
The English poet and playwright William Shakespeare (1564-1616) used hobby horse in the sense of loose woman, for example in The Tragœdy of Othello, The Moore of Venice (Quarto 1, 1622):
Enter Bianca.
– Iago. Before me, looke where she comes,
Tis such another ficho; marry a perfum’d one, what doe you meane
by this hanting of me.
– Bianca. Let the diuel and his dam haunt you, what did you meane
by that same handkercher, you gaue mee euen now? I was a fine
foole to take it; I must take out the whole worke, a likely peece of
worke, that you should find it in your chamber, and not know who
left it there: this is some minxes token, and I must take out the
worke; there, giue it the hobby horse, wheresoeuer you had it, I’le
take out no worke on’t.
The word hobby horse had or still has several other meanings; in particular:
– In morris dancing and in burlesques, pantomimes, etc., a figure of a horse made of wickerwork or other light material, furnished with a deep housing and fastened about the waist of the performer who executes various antics in imitation of the movements of a skittish or spirited horse.
– A kind of velocipede, introduced in 1818 by the German inventor Karl Drais (1785-1851), an early form of the bicycle in which the rider sat on a bar between the two wheels, and propelled himself by pushing the ground with each foot alternately; it was also called dandy-horse and draisine in English, draisienne in French, Laufmaschine (running machine) in German.

A hobby
horse
is a wooden toy made to be ridden just like a real horse (which was
sometimes called a «Hobby«).
From this came the expression «to ride one’s hobby-horse»,
meaning «to follow a favourite pastime», and in turn, hobby
in the modern sense of recreation.
Hobbies are
practised for interest and enjoyment, rather than financial reward.
Examples include collecting,
creative and artistic pursuits, making, tinkering, sports
and adult education. Engaging in a hobby can lead to acquiring
substantial skill, knowledge, and experience. However, personal
fulfilment is the aim.
What are
hobbies for some people are professions for others: a chef
may enjoy cooking
as a hobby, while a professional game
tester
may enjoy playing computer
games.
Generally speaking, the person who does something for fun is called
an amateur
(or hobbyist), as distinct from a professional.
In the UK,
the noun “anorak”
is often applied to people who are keen on a particular hobby that is
considered boring, such as train spotting or stamp collecting.
While some
hobbies are trivial and boring for many people, hobbyists find
something compelling and entertaining about them. Much early
scientific research was a hobby of the wealthy; more recently, some
fields of science began as a student’s hobby. Furthermore, the hobby
of aircraft
spotting
probably originated as part of a serious activity designed to detect
arriving waves of enemy aircraft entering English airspace during
World
War II.
In peacetime it clearly has no such practical or social purpose, but
many people still adore this activity.

Task 18. Translate the
text from Russian into English.
Хобби – это
деятельность, которой вам нравится
заниматься в свободное время, вкладывая
не только свое время, но и усилия. Но
если вы каждый день смотрите телевизор,
это нельзя считать хобби, так как это –
пассивное развлечение. Человек сидит
в кресле и наблюдает, как работают
другие. Но телевидение можно назвать
вашим хобби, если вы участвуете в создании
телевизионных программ, или снимаетесь
в телевизионных шоу в свободное от
работы время. Вот несколько примеров
того, чем любили заниматься в свободное
время некоторые знаменитости: Виктор
Гюго любил туризм и верховую езду, Иван
Тургенев обожал охоту, Эрнест Хемингуэй
отлично умел управлять яхтой и ловить
рыбу. Некоторые люди преуспели в своем
хобби больше, чем в основной профессии,
так случилось с врачом Антоном Чеховым,
учителем Константином Циолковским,
инженером Михаилом Ботвинником.
В наше время многим
людям стало трудно сохранить хобби,
потому что в нашу жизнь вошло телевидение
и принесло с собой способ легко проводить
свободное время, не прикладывая больших
усилий. Кто знает сколько людей так и
не нашли свой талант или свое призвание
из-за того, что проводили время, бездумно
уставившись в экран.

On
the Christmas Eve, 17-year-old Juliane Kopcke and her mother took a flight to
Peru to see her father, a famous zoologist working in the rainforest there. The
airline they used had a bad reputation, but they wanted to come in time to
spend Christmas together. At first, everything went smoothly. Then the plane
flew into some dense, dark clouds and suddenly started to shake. Juliane and
her mother saw a bright flash of light. The frightened passengers started
screaming as their Christmas presents were flying around in the plane. After a
few terrifying moments, the airplane exploded and fell apart. Juliane was
thrown out of the plane by the force of the explosion. When Juliane came to
herself, she found herself in the middle of the rainforest, still in her plane
seat. She was completely alone, the only survivor. She had many wounds but was
alive. Fortunately, Juliane remembered her father’s advice on surviving in the
wilderness. She knew she must follow water downstream to find civilization. She
found a stream of water nearby and started walking downstream. She trekked
through the knee-deep water. Sometimes she saw a crocodile, but thanks to her
father, she learned not to fear them as they rarely attack humans.
After
incredible 9 days without sleep, food and shelter, she finally got to a small
house. She sat down and waited for the owners to come. A couple hours later,
