Hobbies
People have lots of different hobbies – activities they do in their free time.
Some people like hobbies where they can do something – for example,
cooking, dancing, skateboarding or playing the drums. Other people are into
collecting things, like stamps, coins or even guitars. A lot of people enjoy
making things – painting pictures or playing music. And of course there are
people who hate playing sports or computer games, and like learning things
instead, such as languages.
Paula Jennings
Paula’s into learning languages. She can speak Russian, Japanese, Arabic
and Chinese. When she learns how to speak or write in another language, she
acts, draws pictures and sings instead of using traditional books and
dictionaries.
‘I love languages and I learn them really easily. I don’t work hard on
remembering new words. Instead I make music or draw pictures to help me
remember them. I often meet people who don’t believe that this is a good way
to learn languages, but I don’t agree. They just dislike learning in a way that is
different from what they know and are not interested in how it helps me. The
alphabets of the languages I speak are very different from the English
alphabet, and some people don’t enjoy writing in such a different language, but
I love it! I love learning a different alphabet.’

Bill Gardner
People who enjoy sports usually play tennis on a tennis court, swim in a
swimming pool or dance in a dance hall. But Bill is different. What is unusual
about him? He loves rock climbing – but he doesn’t go to the mountains or the
gym. He has a special rock climbing wall on the side of his house!
‘People think I’m very strange because one side of my house is a climbing
wall. I can climb it very quickly now but some of my friends, who are also into
rock climbing, can only climb it slowly. They don’t enjoy it. They say it’s hard to
climb it because it’s a wall of a house and not a natural rock. Of course I
sometimes go rock climbing in the mountains, but I can do my hobby easily at
home.’
