Tastes differ. Different people like different things, different people have different hobbies. Hobby is something that people like to do in their free time. Many people are fond of collection. They collect stamps, coins, books, dolls, toys and many other things. Some people like doing sports: swimming, running, jumping, diving, skating, skiing. Many people like dancing. My friends’ hobbies are different. They are drawing, reading, playing computer games, watching TV. Most of my friends are fond of music and sport. My hobby is doing sports. Most of all I like to play basketball. I am the best player and often take part in different sport competitions. Sometimes we win them but sometimes we lose. Basketball is an active game. It makes me strong, healthy and energetic. And I am a basketball fan too. I enjoy watching matches on TV and at the gym.

I liked both presents Well, I must finish. Waiting for an answer! Best wishes, Antony
William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was one of the greatest and famous writers in human history. He was born in Stratford-on-Avon, a small town in the middle of England. His father wanted his son to be a well-educated person and William was sent to the local grammar school.Studying at school the boy actually did not have any free time. But he spent his rare spare hours walking in the forest or watching the river Avon.Those days there were not a lot of theatres in towns and actors and actresses had to travel moving from one place to another with their shows. Sometimes they visited Stratford-on-Avon. William liked to watch them playing. He got fond of their profession and he decided to become an actor.He went to London and there he became an actor. At that time he began to write plays too. Shakespeare was at the same time an actor and a playwright. In his works he reflected events of his contemporaries' life. His plays were staged in many theatres, translated into many foreign languages. That made Shakespeare a very popular man.Most famous of his plays are Othello, King Lear, Hamlet, and Romeo and Juliet. They are still popular and you can watch his .plays in almost any country of the world. He produced thirty seven plays at all.
