4 Which of the following is not called "celestial bodies'?
Hobbies are practiced for interest and enjoyment, rather than financial reward Examplesinclude collecting, creative and artistic pursuits, making, tinkering, sports and adulteducation Engaging in a hobby can lead to acquiring substantial skill, knowledge, andexperience However, personal fulfillment is the aim
What are hobbies for some people are professions for others: a game tester may enjoycooking as a hobby, while a professional chef might enjoy playing (and helping to debug)computer games Generally speaking, the person who does something for fun, notremuneration, is called an amateur (or hobbyist), as distinct from professional
An important determinant of what is considered a hobby, as distinct from a profession(beyond the lack of remuneration), is probably how easy it is to make a living at the activity.Almost no one can make a living at cigarette card or stamp collecting, but many people find itenjoyable; so it is commonly regarded as a hobby
Amateur astronomers often make meaningful contributions to the professionals It is - notentirely uncommon for a hobbyist to be the first to discover a celestial body or event
In the UK, the pejorative noun anorak (similar to the Japanese 'otaku' meaning a geek orenthusiast) is often applied to people who obsessively pursue a particular hobby that isconsidered boring, such as train spotting or stamp collecting

I was with Overseas Volunteers (OV) for a year after leaving university, and I was sent to anisolated village in Chad, about 500 km from the capital N'Djamena Coming from a richcountry, I got quite a shock as conditions were much harder than I had expected But after afew days I soon got used to living there The people were always very friendly and helpful,and soon I began to appreciate how beautiful the countryside was
One of my jobs was to supply the village with water The well was a long walk away.And the women used to spend a long time every day carrying heavy pots backwards andforwards So I contacted organization and arranged to have some pipes delivered We built a
simple pipeline and a pump, and it worked first time It wasn't perfect - there were a few
leaks, but it made a great difference to the villagers, who had never had running water before.And not only did we have running water, but in the evenings it was hot, because the pipe hadbeen lying in the sun all day All in all, I think my time with OV was a good experience.Although it was not well-paid, it was well worth doing, and I would recommend it to anyonewho was considering working for a charity
