A week ago they didn't know what to think. ( Past Simple)
Hobby is what people like doing in their free time. Some people like collecting different things, such as badges, stamps, bottles, flowers, 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.
Making things with hands is another type of hobbies. This includes drawing, painting, handicraft, sewing small plush toys or making toy planes.
Playing computer games has become a very popular hobby today, but it can be bad for your health. Playing sports is a better hobby, I think.
My major hobby is English. I like reading books in English and watching videos and films in English. I also talk to my foreign friends and this helps me improve my knowledge of the language.
Another hobby of mine is listening to music. I have a big collection of CDs with different kinds of music.
Now I want to talk about ways of spending free time. For example, 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 also like reading and watching TV in my free time. I like English educational programmes.
I think it is necessary to have a hobby. Your free time is not wasted.
