Hobbies.
The word “Hobby” came from English. In England many people have pets – dogs, cats and horses. They are members of the families. In old times farmers showed great love for horses – Robby, Dobby and Hobby. And Hobby was the most popular name for horses. People used the name Hobby for toy horses, too. Many years later, the word “hobby” got its present meaning - “things you do in your free time”. People have different hobbies now – reading, going to the theatre, museums, art galleries, cinemas. Some people like gardening, cycling, playing chess, playing computer games. Many children like drawing, making handicraft, playing musical instruments. Collecting things is very interesting hobby. You can collect stamps, coins, toys, badges, books, watches and even perfume bottles. Children are fond of travelling. It is so interesting to visit different countries and cities. Many people like sport – football, tennis, hokey, swimming. But some people are home-sitters. They like to stay at home, watch TV and do nothing. The English proverb says – “Tastes differ”. Hobbies differ like tastes.
