Transform the words in CAPITAL LETTERS to fill in the gaps (B3-B9)

One winter evening Lena and her brother Harry

B3 video games while their mum and dad were watching TV. The living room was very cosy with a nice log fire and everyone was happy. Then it started raining outside and the wind was strong and stormy. The sky B4 by flashes of lightning and the thunder was deafening. Suddenly, all the lights went out and the electrical appliances stopped

B5 . "Now what are we

B6 ?" asked Dad, who wanted B7 a football match on TV. He went off in search of candles, but unfortunately they didn't have any. "No problem." said Mum. "I B8 just our old gas camping lamp and stove in one of the kitchen cupboards." Half an hour later everyone was drinking hot tea and eating slices of toasted bread which Mum cooked in front of the log fire! They told each other funny stories, as the butter ran down their fingers. Everyone said that they B9 themselves so much for ages, even if Dad had missed the football match. Then suddenly the lights came on again and everything was back to normal.

A hobby is a favourite pastime of a person. Hobbies differ like tastes. If you have chosen a hobby to your liking, lucky you are: you have made your life more interesting.

Numerous hobbies can be subdivided into four large classes: doing things, making things, collecting things, and learning things.

The most popular of all hobby groups is doing things. It includes a wide variety of activities, everything from gardening to travelling and from chess to volleyball. Gardening is one of the oldest man’s hobbies, especially in some countries (Britain, for example). A relatively new hobby which is becoming more popular is computer games.

Making things includes drawing, painting, making sculpture, designing costumes, and handicrafts. Some hobbyists write music. Two of the most famous hobby painters were President Eisenhower and Sir Winston Churchill.

Almost everyone collects something at some period in his life: stamps, coins, matchboxes, books, records, postcards,, toys, watches. Some collections have no real value. Others become so large and so valuable that they are housed in museums and galleries. Many world-famous collections started in a small way with one or two items. People with a good deal of money often collect paintings, rare books and other art objects. Often such private collections are given to museums, libraries and public galleries so that others might take pleasure in seeing them.

No matter what kind of hobby a person has, he always has the opportunity of learning from it. By reading about the things he is interested in, he is adding to what he knows. Learning things can be the most exciting aspect of a hobby.
