Tony's mum: Tony, your room is very untidy. Can you tidy it up, please?

Tony: OK, Mum.

Tony's mum: You need to find somewhere to put your collection of model cars. You have so many now!

Tony's dad: I collected cars too when I was your age. And I also collected stamps.

Tony: Well, I have a collection of tickets. A stamp collection is too expensive for me.

Tony's dad: Yes, I spent a lot of money on some special stamps.

Tony's mum: My hobby was collecting dolls at that time. Oh, and I also had a collection of fans—you know, Chinese fans. But they took up less space than your collection of cars!

M1 U3

Girl: We have some interesting results from our survey on teenage hobbies.

Boy: What's the most popular hobby?

Girl: Well, boys and girls have different hobbies. The girls like singing and dancing, but the boys prefer playing

football, and they like watching it, too.

Boy: Oh, I see. Is there anything that boys and girls like doing?

Girl: Yes, both girls and boys enjoy playing table tennis. Boy: Why do teenagers like their hobbies?

Girl: They like to learn about new things, and to develop new skills. For example, collecting stamps helps them learn about other countries, and playing chess develops thinking skills.

Boy: I see. My hobby is growing vegetables. Is that a popular hobby?

Girl: Yes, it is. This hobby helps the whole family.

M1 WB

Alice: My name's Alice. Hobbies? Well, I don't really have any hobbies. No, that's not true. I read a lot and reading is a hobby, isn't it? But I don't play chess, or tennis, or things like that. I've got a lot of friends and I spend a lot of time with them. We talk about all kinds of things—people, our friends, school, our teachers, our family. And I spend a lot of time with my family—we do most things together. We watch quite a lot of television. I work hard at school—very hard—I love science and want to be a doctor. So I don't

really have much time for other things. But as I said, I read a lot—that's my hobby. What about you?

Mike: My name's Mike. I've only got one hobby and that's football. My schoolwork is OK. I'm quite good at it, but it's football that's important to me. I've got three or four friends, and they love football, too. We talk about football all the time, and play every day after school. I'd like to play in a real football team one day. My sports teacher says it's possible if I really practise. I would love that.

Linda: Yes, I'm Linda. My hobbies? I've played chess since I was eight years old. My father taught me. He is in a chess club and he's one of the best players there. Because of this, I've become a very good chess player, too. In fact, I'm better at chess than my father now. He gets quite angry when I say this, but it's true. I love playing chess. I like things that are difficult—I get bored if something's too easy—I've always been like that. I've joined my father's chess club and I can beat almost everyone there! Maybe one day I'll become a champion!
