Question

Exercise 1. Choose a hobby which is described in each sentence. Chess, collecting antiques, jogging, DIY, photography, making own clothes, playing a musical instrument 1 I usually use colour, but sometimes you get a better effect with black and white. It really depends on the subject. 2 I really enjoy going round the shops and markets looking for a bargain. 3 I try to practise every day, but sometimes it's difficult because I don't like to disturb my neighbours too much. And one neighbour gets very angry if I play the same thing over and over again. 4 The great thing is you can do it when you like. I usually do it three or four times a week -either early in the morning, or after school. I only go for about 25 minutes but it really keeps me fit. 5 Obviously it saves me a lot of money; and in any case, I hate buying things in boutiques because so many things are badly made. 6 I joined a club because I wanted to get better, and I now play twice a week in the evenings. It has helped me a lot and I have a much better memory for all the different moves and strategies. 7 I think this is a very common hobby for people like me, who have a house but don't have much money. That’s why I started, but now I think I do a better job than many professionals.
