My name is Helen. I’d like to say a few words about my family and our hobbies.

People live a very busy life nowadays, so they have little time to spare. Тhey do their best to make use of those rare hours of leisure. A hobby is a favourite occupation of a person in their free time.

My mother is fond of gardening. Her hobby is not only wonderful but also very useful. That’s why we all help her in the garden. Gardening helps us to be healthy and achieve a peace of mind. And in winter Mother spends all her free time knitting and sewing things: sweaters, skirts, blouses, dresses. She makes it nicely and she always looks fine.

My father likes making everything with his own hands. He can repair an iron, a radio-set, or a washing-machine. I think it’s a very good hobby. Father is also interested in cars. He knows everything about their construction and production.

My hobby is ballroom dancing. Dancing is not just an art, it is also a great exercise and a good way to stay in shape. Besides, I’m fond of reading. It is one of the best activities you can enjoy indoors. I feel that people who love reading, can never get bored when they are alone. Reading is a source of knowledge and inspiration.

My brother is fifteen. And, of course, like all teenagers he prefers computer-based activities to reading. The Internet provides him with an endless number of options for recreation, which include online games, online chatting, video surfing, blogging, social networking, reading online news and so on.

Children and teenagers are great collectors. My little sister collects shells, coins, comic books and pictures of her favourite pop stars. Her dream is to keep a pet – a dog, a hamster or a rabbit.

My boyfriend goes in for sports. He plays volleyball, does judo and goes skating. Apart from that he wants to take up swimming.

Modern life is impossible without travelling. We travel by car, by train and by air. Every year we go on holiday to a new place in Russia or abroad.

Hobbies are not just fun. They help us to learn new things and broaden our outlook.
