What are Your Favourite Hobbies and Why?
Dean: I’ve tried a lot of different hobbies over the past few years. I was really into playing
all kinds of video games, but after a while I didn’t find them much fun anymore. I was also
into painting for a couple of years, but I wasn’t very good at it. I wanted to be creative, and I
hated that I couldn’t find the right hobby. One day, I went to the museum, where I saw a
photography exhibition. I loved looking at all of the interesting photos. After that, I got a new
camera. I take it everywhere with me now. Photography is a great way for me to be creative,
and I’m actually good at taking pictures.
Lisa: I’m fond of watching films with my friends. At weekends, we spend hours watching all
different kinds
of films, like horror and dramas. But, my favourite films to watch involve a lot of action. I
think action films are more exciting than any other type of film. When I’m not watching films,
I like to be outdoors. I guess I would say my other hobby is camping. I never get bored when
I’m outside in nature. I’m also into camping because we sit around the fire at night and tell
each other ghost stories. But, what I don’t like about camping are the insects. I can’t stand it
when I find bugs in my tent at night.
