Unit 13 hobbies

There are a number of things I like to do in my free time They are my hobbies.

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 even 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 accompaning people singing with his guitar and I admire him very much

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 others were collected from the rice field near my house They look so beautiful swimming

about in the tank I loce watching them and my mother loves watching them too

I keep stamps,too However,I would not call my self an avid stamp collector Actually ,I just collect the stamps from discarded envelopes that my relaties and my friends give me Mostly I get local stamps Once in a while,I get stamps from places like Russia, the

USA, Britain,Australia,China and others I keep the less common ones inside a small

album The common ones I usually give away to others or if no one want them I simply throw them away

There are other hobby that indulge in for a while, but they aren’t as interesting as the

ones I’ve been talking about They really keep me accupied and I’m glad I’m able to do them
