Ex.17 Read the text and answer the questions after it. What is the boy's hobby? What is his brother's? sister's? father's hobby?

My hobby is collecting stamps. At first, I collected the stamps of all countries, but there are too many, so now I collect only Greek and Indian ones, because I have friends in Greece and I live in India. Some of my stamps are very pretty, and they are all interesting. When you look at the stamps carefully, they teach you a lot about the history of their country.

My small brother's hobby is watching trains. He goes to our station and watches them there. When an engine goes through the station, he writes down its name and number. He likes train watching very much, but I don't. I went to the station with him one day but it wasn't interesting, I thought.

My big sister's hobby is sewing. She makes most of her clothes and when I tear my shirt or my trousers, I take them to her and she mends them.

My father has a hobby, too. It is gardening. Every Saturday and Sunday afternoon and sometimes on other summer evenings, too, he digs, or cuts the thick grass, or plants flowers.

1. Do you collect stamps? Do you think it's an interesting hobby?

2. Are you fond of gardening?

3. What is your hobby? Do you spend much time on your hobbies?

4. What hobbies do the members of your family have? Do you think it's good when all the members of the family have the same hobby?
