Hobby is a favourite occupation of a person in his free time. I have many friends. They are very different and they have different kinds of hobbies. One of my girl-friends, for example, likes to knit very much. In the evening she sits on the sofa and knits a beautyful pullover or a sweater. She also knits for her little sister, her mother and her girl-friends. Another girl-friend of mine spends all her time sewing things: skirts, blouses, dresses. She makes it nicely and she always looks good. One of my friends likes to make everything with his own hands. He can repair an iron, a radio-set, or a tape-recorder. I think it's a very good hobby. Many children and grown-ups are very fond of collecting. Some collect old coins, other collect post-cards. As for me, my hobby is collecting stamps. Now I have 5 albums full of stamps, it is more than one thousand of them. I like to sit at a table in the evening and arrange new stamps in the albums, or write in the names of the countries, or just look through the stamps. Each stamp has a story to tell about distant countries and new people. I see pictures of people, birds and animals which I have never seen. Kings and presidents pass before my eyes and I can follow the histiory of whole nations. My hobby is not only wonderful but very useful, too. |
