Meet My Hobby | |
| Hello, I’m Joshua. I collect lots of things. I have stamps, postcards, tickets and banknotes in my collection. They come from all over the world. I first grew interested in stamps, but when people gave me postcards with stamps on them, I started collecting them, too. It is easy to go from stamps to banknotes. Of course, they are only the smallest notes or my hobby would cost too much! I also keep bus, train and air tickets. Most of them are from China. I keep my collections in special books. As a result of my hobby, I know a lot about geography and foreign countries. |
| Hi, my name is Ray. My hobby is badminton. Of course, I enjoy playing the game very much. I developed my interest when I was only six. Now I have a lot of skill and am a very successful teenage player. I think the game is very relaxing and when you play well, it can be very creative. I am a fan of the game as well as a player. I collect books and magazines about the sport. I visit badminton websites and travel a long way to watch a good game. I love my hobby. |
| Hello, nice to meet you. I am May. My hobby is very creative. I am an artist. I collect all sorts of things — stones, pieces of cloth, coloured paper, cinema tickets -anything -and then make interesting pictures out of them. My mother likes my work too, but she says I am too untidy and she is always clearing up after me. I think work better when I have lots of things around me on the floor, bed and table. That’s what artists are like. |

Standing in front of the bike shop, Dave stared at the shiny red bicycle in the window. He could picture himself riding the bike in Saturday’s race and winning the first-place medal and prize money. “With that bike, I could even beat Adam,” Dave thought.
He rode on and stopped at Pecks clothing store. The coat he ________ to buy his mother for her birthday was still on sale. Dave knew she would never buy it for herself. She worked hard just to make ends meet. But the prize money would be enough for him to buy that coat and surprise her.
Dave looked at his old bike. Two years ago, he found some old bicycles at the junkyard and used the parts to make one bike. He called it his recycled bike. “I’ll never ________ the race on this old bike,” Dave sighed (叹息).
As Dave passed the junkyard, he noticed a newer-looking bike tire. He started going through the huge junk pile. Finally, he found what he was looking for. “These two tires and the handgrips are just ________ for my bike.”
Arriving home, Dave put the used tires and the handgrips on his recycled bike, and oiled the chain. He stood back and admired the ________ he had made. “I might win that race after all,” he said to himself.
