Unit 13: HOBBIES
My hobby is reading I read story books, magazines, newspapers and any kind of material that I find interesting My hobby got started when I was a little boy I had always wanted my parents to read fairy tales and other stories to me Soon they got fed up with having to read to me continually So as soon as I could, I learned to read I started with simple ADC books Soon I could read fairy tales and other stories Now I read just about anything that is available
Reading enables me to learn about so many things I learned about how people lived in bygone days I learned about the wonders of the world, space travel, human achievements, gigantic whales, tiny viruses and other fascinating things
The wonderful thing about reading is that I not have to learn things the very hard way For example, I not have to catch a disease to know that it can kill me I know the danger so I can avoid it Also I not have to deep into the jungle to find out about tigers I can read all about it in a book
Books provide the reader with so many facts and so much information They have certainly helped me in my daily life I am better equipped to cope with living Otherwise I would go about ignorantly learning things the hard way
So I continue to read Reading is indeed a good hobby
Unit 14: RECREATION
Three American students are talking about how they would like to spend their holiday
ANNA: It’s hot and humid in New York City in the summer and I often feel depressed then So in July and August I often go out of the city to the west where there are some beautiful national parks and forests I often go with my friends, and I spend two weeks in a national park every year We might stay at campgrounds in the park, but wilderness areas are more fun What we enjoy most is to ride our dirt bike in the desert, take showers in waterfalls and swim in the lakes and rivers And at night we sleep in our sleeping bags or tents and cook on our gas stove It’s wonderful that we can live in nature and enjoy it
(5)Now more and more people are going to these places They leave trash in the forests, and take rocks and plants with them They don’t care about nature I believe not only people are important to the world - nature is important, too
MARY: Like most other people I’m very fond of natural spectacular scenery, but when I travel, I spend most of my time in cities Why I don’t want to live in nature and enjoy it? It’s the solitude of the wilderness It’s for animals and plants, not for me I hate camping, too I can’t put up an umbrella tent in the wind I can’t make a fire in the rain, and a backpack is usually too heavy for me So I’d better stay in the cities and enjoy the comfort they offer
