Speaker 1: We moved to this country house a few months ago. Before that, when I lived in the city, I had a lot of hobbies: I used to go to the cinema and theatre, and I attended some sports clubs. Now I don't have such an opportunity. But here I can take up a new hobby - gardening! My mum wants me to take part in planting vegetables and flowers. I can enjoy nature and who knows, maybe I will have green fingers* soon!

Speaker 2: I am fond of socializing! I like to arrange parties at home and invite friends. We can dance or sing; some of my friends can play musical instruments, so we can make a music band. I just love to get all my friends together and do something creative.

Speaker 3: Dancing Zumba is my favourite pastime. This mix of different moves keeps me active and I can forget about all my problems at school or with parents. Besides, it is good for my health. I go to the local fitness club where we have Zumba classes twice a week.

Speaker 4: I can't say that I am a techno geek but I am simply mad about modern devices. I have a tablet and a smartphone of the latest model. I like taking photos and sharing them on the Internet. And playing online games takes a lot of my free time. I have an online chat with my classmates in one of the games where we can talk for hours.

Speaker 5: What I really love is literature. A good novel or a romance is much more exciting than a new film, a concert or a football match. Today we can read books of different genres, it depends on your interests. My favourite genre is fantasy. When I open a fantasy novel, I am absolutely absorbed by that magical world of creatures and monsters. Many of them resemble people.
