Trang 61 There are a number of things I like to do in my free time They are my
hobbies.
2 The hobby I like most is playing my guitar My uncle, who is an accomplished
guitarist, taught me how to play Now I can play a few simple tunes I have
ever begun to sing while playing the guitar, but I have not been very
successful at this My uncle tells me that all I need is to practise regularly and
I should be able to do it He is very good at accompanying people singing
with his guitar and I admire him very much.
3 Another hobby of mine is keeping fish I have a modest little glass fish tank
where I keep a variety of little fish Some of them were bought from the shop while some other were collected from the rice field near my house They look beautiful swimming about in the tank I love watching them and my mother loves watching them, too.
4 I keep stamps, too However, I would not call myself an avid stamp collector
Actually, I just collect the stamps from discarded envelopes that my relatives and friends give me Mostly I get local stamps Once in a while, I get stamps from places like Russia, the U.S.A, Britain, Australia, China and others I keep the less common ones inside a small album The common ones I give away to others or if no one wants them I simply throw them away.
5 There are other hobbies that I indulge in for a while, but they are not as
interesting as the ones I’ve been talking about They are really keep me
occupied and I am glad I am able to do them.
