Hobbies and interests
People usually have hobbies and interests. Some hobbies are expensive (golf), some are dangerous (bungee jumping), some are romantic (boating), some are very time-consuming (modelling).
When I was five I liked collecting airplane models. I could not collect stamps, posters, badges or butterflies like others. Later I myself started building models of airplanes. Then I started playing chess. When I was about ten I started practice skiing – both downhill and cross-country skiing, also skating and playing ice-hockey. I also began to attend judo lessons because I found it useful for my self-protection. At the end of our primary school I started playing tennis. This sport is popular all around the world.
I have a good friend Peter – his hobbies are playing the piano and guitar, painting, hiking, cycling, mountaineering (rock climbing), roller-skating and skate-boarding. Sometimes we go out together cycling and mountaineering.
