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 hobby group 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 man's hobbies. It is well-know fact that the English are very found of gardening and growing flowers, especially roses.
Both grown-ups and children are found 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 and others. Two of the most famous hobby painters were President Eisenhower and Sir Winston Churchill. Some hobbyists write music or play musical instruments.
President Bill Clinton, for example, plays the saxophone. Almost everyone collects something at some period of his/her life: stamps, coins, matchboxes, books, records, postcards, toys, watches and other things. Some collections don't have real value. Others become so large and so valuable that they are housed in museums and art galleries. Many world famous collections started in a small way with one or two items. People with a good deal of money often collect paintings, rare books and other art object. Often such private collections are given to museums, libraries and public galleries so that others might see them.
No matter what kind of hobby a person has, he/she always has the opportunity of learning from it. By reading about the things he/she is interested in, he/she adds to what he knows. Learning things can be the most exciting aspect of a hobby. So I think that everyone should have a hobby, it is like the target of your life.
Dear Lora,
Hi! How are you? Today I want to tell you about the school of my dreams. I study in this school and it really exists. My ideal school is on an island. Our lessons usually are outside in the fresh air. We can sit in a circle on the lawn or under the trees. We have only basic equipment like notebooks, pens and crayons. There are no projectors and we definitely have no laptops in my school. Lessons last half an hour each. We have many interesting lessons like science, wildlife, and nature. In these lessons we usually go on trips to the forest to see wildlife and discuss some problems of nature.
We also do lots of fun after-school activities. Boys mostly enjoy going in for white-water rafting, kayaking and mountain climbing but girls prefer to do gymnastics and swimming. I think in this school all students find activities that he or she likes most.
Also students often travel around the world and learn many things, like the history, culture and language of the places they visit. We already visited such countries as Spain, Italy and Russia. Trips are not something special – they’re part of everyday school life. We try to get knowledge and enjoy life at the same time. This is really great because you have a chance to meet a lot of new people and know about their way of life. All this helps you to widen your horizon and feel happy.
What is your ideal school like?
Write back soon,
Sara
