CHILDREN'S HOBBIES Emily Jones is eleven and her hobby is collecting dolls, Four years ago her aunt gave her a doll from
India. It had a beautiful dress, long dark hair and gold earrings. Emily loved it and started collecting dolls
from other countries. Now she has more than fifty dolls in her bedroom.
Jim Hobbs loves sport and his favourite sport is basketball. Six month ago he watched a basketball match
on TV and he liked it very much. Now he plays every day. He plays at school and he plays at home. He
has big posters of basketball players on his bedroom walls and he reads magazines about basketball
.
There is one problem - Jim is not very tall
. But he is a good player. He plays in his school team, and last
week they won their first match.

2. When I get out of my bed I open cutains and do my morning exercises. It takes me about 7 to 10 minutes and then I go to the shower.
3. I have my breakfast at 7 o'clock. Usually I have a sandwich and a cup of coffee. I can't eat much in the morning. Sometimes I drink orange juice.
4. After breakfast I get dressed. It takes me about 40 minutes. And at about 8 o'clock I leave for school.
5. I live not far from school. So, I walk there. It takes me about 10 minutes to get to school.
6. I have a couple of friends at school. We spend much time together. Of course I would like to sit next to them. But our teachers make their own decision on how we should sit.
7. My classes finish at about 3 o'clock. After school I go for a walk with my friends and then go home for lunch. Usually I come home at about 4 o'clock.
8. If the weather is bad we don't walk and I go straight home. So, sometimes I come home half an hour earlier.
9. As soon as I get home I change, wash my hands and have lunch. I love eating soup for lunch. After lunch I do my homework.
10. We have many subjects at school and I have a lot of things to do. Every day I spend about 2 or 3 hours doing my homework.
11. As soon as it's done I am free and can watch television. Most of all I like different shows and serials. Usually I watch TV for an hour and a half. I can't say that I am a big fan of TV. I like reading books more.
12. My favourite programs are "Wheel of Fortune", "Voice" and "Grimm". The first two are shows and the third one is a serial.
13. After this I meet my friends. Sometimes we watch TV together and then go for a walk or just chat. We see each other every day but always have something to talk about.
14. We go for a walk to the park which is not far from my house. It's a nice and large park with a lot of trees and bushes. It's very green and the air is very fresh there.
15. When I grow up I would like to have my own business connected with health and beauty. Maybe, a gym or a beauty shop.
16. I like sleeping very much. So, I try to go to bed not too late to feel ok next day. Usually I go to bed at 10 o'clock.
17. Before going to bed I have light dinner, then go to shower and read a book. And of course I talk to my parents and we discuss everything happened today.
