They make our life more interesting. A hobby is what people like to do when they have free time. Everyone chooses a hobby according to his character and taste. Some people are fond of music, others like to read books. Some people like to collect stamps, coins or badges, others prefer gardening or hiking or taking photographs. Some people like to cook, others like to knitter sew. Generally speaking, a hobby is a matter of taste. My hobby is playing computer games. Both grown-ups and children are fond of it now. It has become one of the most popular hobbies nowadays. I think that playing with a computer is very interesting. It is not only "wasting time" as some people say. Computer games make us to think things over properly, they widen and develop our mind and imagination. I have a good collection of different games and when I have some free time I play them with great pleasure. My favourite game is... Some of my friends have the same hobby and we like to play together. lapteva_on2016 https://padlet.com/lapteva_on2016/2pruu5vvrzui/wish/265576604 2018-06-05 08:21:04 UTC https://padlet.com/lapteva_on2016/2pruu5vvrzui/wish/265576604 My favourite sports are tennis and swimming. I like dancing, too. I began going in for sports when I was eight years old. It was swimming. I went to the swimming pool with all my family. Now my hobby is lawn tennis. I like to play tennis very much. I play tennis two times a week: on Wednesday and Friday.I think I am good at tennis, but I want to play it better. I hope in future I will be a good tennis-player. lapteva_on2016 https://padlet.com/lapteva_on2016/2pruu5vvrzui/wish/265578278 2018-06-05 08:28:27 UTC https://padlet.com/lapteva_on2016/2pruu5vvrzui/wish/265578278 Sport is very important in my life. And, of course, it is popular with young and old people. I try to take part in different sport sections. I like to watch sport games, listen to sport news. I prefer reading interesting stories about sportsmen. At college I have got physical training lessons twice a week. We play volley-ball and basket-ball at the lessons. Sport helps me to keep good health. If you go in for sports, you are in a good mood and don’t often catch cold. I think that all people must take care of their health and do morning exercises regularly. But I don’t do it because I don’t like to get up early. Recently I have begun to go in for boxing. I want to be a good boxer. I think that this kind of sport will help me in my everyday life. But it is physical training for my body. Also I like to paint different drawings. This hobby is for my soul. I like to combine form and colour into harmonious unity. I use different colours. The colours may be cool and restful, delicate and soft. I like to draw a landscape, a seascape, a battle piece and a self-portrait. I have a lot of interesting self-portraits.I think that the main thing is that our hobby increases our knowledge in some particular field and broaden our outlook. lapteva_on2016 https://padlet.com/lapteva_on2016/2pruu5vvrzui/wish/265578980 2018-06-05 08:32:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lapteva_on2016/2pruu5vvrzui/wish/265578980 For me life is a dance. I cannot imagine myself without it. Every movement, swing, turn, makes the world brighter.I have been dancing since I was 5. And it is passion of my life. At first, I danced ballroom dancers. It is very beautiful and elegant. Dress, heels, hair - what could be more beautiful? Before going on a stage, you feel excitement. But once the music starts to play, once there is a great desire to come out and shows to all that you are capable. And exit. Crowds of people are watching your every movement, a smile. And it is a true happiness.Now I dance hip-hop. Hip-hop is a youth subculture that originated in the mid-1970 among African Americans and Hispanics. It is characterized by its own music (also known as hip-hop, rap), its slang, its own hip-hop fashion, dance styles. By the beginning of 1990, the hip-hop has become part of youth culture in many countries. I am trying myself to think what movements use, speaking in the language of dance. And what is with this comes out. We travelled with our band at the international festival Oskoldans, which left a lot of impressions, memories. When we arrived home, we long bored about the atmosphere, about the holiday. These were unforgettable 3 days!Dance and enjoy the fact that you are doing. Believe me, there are no such people who cannot dance. Try, you must succeed. And for someone dance will be a part of the life. Dance to live! lapteva_on2016 https://padlet.com/lapteva_on2016/2pruu5vvrzui/wish/265688412 2018-06-05 16:45:55 UTC https://padlet.com/lapteva_on2016/2pruu5vvrzui/wish/265688412 In my childhood I evinced a marked inclination for drawing. Images of different models of dresses often appear in my mind. I am not fond of fashion seriously but I like to watch fashion show of collection of well-known designers. I was impressed with beauty and delicacy of different kind of dresses which were executed in the consciousness of creators.Very often I take a sheet of paper and begin to draw. At first I don’t know how my invention will look. The contours of the model of dress occur gradually. They are scarcely discernible. But then the silhouette of dress begins to manifest. I see this dress in my imagination. My hand works with my mind. When I create I notice nothing around myself. I try my sketches of dresses to have a resemblance to my image in my mind. I express my sense of seeing the images in my drawings. I’d like my sketches of dresses to be close to an ideal conception of dignity and grace.I don’t see myself as a designer but I dream of taking part in the show of high fashion and may be my collection will be appreciated. lapteva_on2016 https://padlet.com/lapteva_on2016/2pruu5vvrzui/wish/265689069 2018-06-05 16:48:45 UTC https://padlet.com/lapteva_on2016/2pruu5vvrzui/wish/265689069
