Answer 1

Hi Mary!
I believe the most popular pastime in Russia is fishing. I think so because I am mad about fishing. Some people like hunting but I don’t like killing animals. Some people like supporting our sport teams. Other like doing sports. In wintertime they go skiing and snowboarding . In summertime they’re hiking, riding bicycle, swimming etc.
The most unpopular pastime in Russia alternatively to States is table games.
I invite your to go fishing with me when you come to Russia.

Answer 2

Dear Mary,

It's great to hear from you and learn that you're working on a project about popular pastimes in other countries. I'm happy to share some information about popular pastimes in Russia with you.

In Russia, some of the most popular pastimes include playing chess, reading books, watching movies, and practicing sports such as football, ice hockey, and figure skating. Additionally, many people enjoy spending time outdoors, especially during the summer months, by going on hikes, fishing, and camping.

As for pastimes that are not as popular in Russia, I would say that things like surfing and skiing are not as common due to our climate and geography. However, there are still people who enjoy these activities and pursue them in appropriate locations.

Personally, my favorite pastimes include playing the piano, reading books, and spending time with friends and family. I find these activities to be relaxing and enjoyable.

I'm also excited to hear that you're considering joining an unusual hobby club. That sounds like a lot of fun! What hobby have you chosen? What kind of activities does the club offer? And finally, where is the club located?

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Best regards, [Your Name]
