2/ What are your hobbies?

My hobbies are listening music, reading books and watching TV.

I like watching T.V and reading English books.

While you read

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 accompanying 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 love watching them and my mother loves watching

them, too.

I keep stamps, too However, I would not call myselft 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 USA, Britain, Australia, China and others I keep the less common ones inside a small album The common ones I usually give to others or if no one wants them I simply

throw them away.

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 really keep me occupied and I glad I am able to
