LEISURE TIME AND HOBBIES Today, all people are very busy: adults work a lot, pupils and students study. You have little free time and should spend it with pleasure and benefit. Young people and children like to hang out with friends, do sports, listen to music, dance or play different games - outside in parks and yards or in the computer. Some people have hobbies. Men like to fish or collect things / things (such as cups or bottles, stamps or coins.) Women like to cook, sew and knit, grow flowers. Other people have artistic hobbies: they paint and draw, sing and play musical instruments - piano, violin, flute, guitar and others. Some travel a lot - abroad or through their homeland - to admire interesting sights, to visit beautiful natural places, to get to know foreign cultures. I enjoy reading books, I often go to the theater and cinema, go to concerts, museums and galleries and other cultural events. With my family we take trips to nature, go hiking in the woods, in the countryside or in the mountains, visit our relatives in the village. We celebrate all festivals and enjoy our free time together VOCABULARY At leisure на досуге have little free time иметь свободное время spend free time проводить свободное время to hang out with friends тусоваться с друзьями | do sports заниматься спортом listen to music слушать музыку dance танцевать play games играть в игры go fishing рыбачить collect things коллекционировать ч-л cook готовить sew and knit шить и вязать grow flowers выращивать цветы have artistic hobbies иметь художественные хобби paint and draw рисовать красками и карандашами sing петь play musical instruments – играть на музыкальных инструментах piano, violin, flute, guitar пианино, скрипка, флейта, гитара travel путешествовать to admire the sights / see the sights осматривать достопримечательности to visit beautiful places посещать красивые места to get to know foreign cultures знакомиться с другими культурами go to the theater / cinema/ concerts/ museums and galleries and cultural events культурные события read books читать книги watch TV смотреть ТВ surf the Internet бродить а интернете take trips to nature выезжать на природу go hiking in the woods ходить в походы в лес in the countryside в сельской местности in the mountains в горы visit relatives in the village навещать родных в деревне |
