2. Read the text and answer the questions
My father has an unusual hobby, carving eggshells.
As everyone knows, eggshells are very fragile. My
dad can make beautiful pieces of art from empty
eggshells. It's amazing!
He started the hobby five years ago after a trip to the
US where he saw some carved eggshells in an art
gallery. My father did not go to class to learn how to
carve. He learned everything from the Internet.
Some people say that this hobby is difficult and
boring, but it isn't. All you need is time. It may take
two weeks to complete one shell. I find this hobby
interesting because carved eggshells are unique
gifts for family and friends. I hope that in the future
he'll teach me how to do eggshell carving.

Grooming dogs
That's not a tiger in the picture, but a dog dyed to

look like a tiger. It's an example of a growing hobby
in China: dying and trimming dogs' hair so that they
look like different animals. The Chinese were very
quick to embrace this bizarre trend, and it is not
unusual for owners to take their dogs to grooming
parlours where they are not only given a shampoo
and trim, but a multi-colored dye job as well. Recent
figures show money spent on pets across the nation
has seen nearly a 500 per cent increase between
1999 and 2008 – but, arguably, at the cost of their
pets' dignity. What the animals might think about it
is another matter.

Hello, everybody. My name' Quang Teo. Let's me talk
about my hobbies. Among my hobbies, such as listening
to music, playing football, reading books, playing games
offline, taking photographs, going for a walk with close
friends and learning English, my most favorite one is
reading books.
I started reading books when I was eight years old. But I
just started reading life-changing books and history
books a few months ago. I found that reading these
kinds of book makes me not only believe more in this
world and in myself, but also feel more comfortable,
relaxed and less stressed after hardworking days.
I think that reading books is an easy hobby because we
can easily find books around us. Books bring us not
only knowledge but also entertainment, so I’ll keep this
practice until the end of my life.
Hi, everybody. My name's Em. I’m thirteen years old. Well,
my most favorite hobbies are reading books and
learning English.
First, I started learning English when I was in grade 3,
and now I find it easy to talk to foreigners. I believe
learning English is interesting and it's good for my job in
the future.
Second, I started reading books about life in 2013. I think
reading books costs you little. Whenever you have free
time, you can go to a bookstore and freely read any
books you like or you can borrow some from a public
library. There are plenty of books there. Books are
sources of knowledge and entertainment, so why don’t
you share this hobby with me and everybody else.
I myself think that the two hobbies of mine above are
useful practices in life, so I’ll go on with them.
Hi everybody. My name is Paul. And I have many
hobbies. For example, playing games, reading comics,
watching films, listening to music, etc... But I like playing
games best.
I often play games online such as World of Zombies,
Cross-fire, Bubble shooter ... I can play them all day if I
have much free time. I’ve met many new friends in games.
They live in the North, Central and the South of Vietnam. I
can't remember what we have talked, but there are always
a lot of things to talk with. It's quite exciting.
As you know, playing games is time consuming, but, on
the other hand, it helps you not only make friends easily,
but also concentrate better.
I think, in the near future, I’ll find some good and useful
games to play and recommend them to my friends.
