My friend`s hobby
Form 6
I`ve got a friend. His name is Bob. He is 16 years
old. He is a very good sportsman. Like many young English teenagers he and his
sisters are fond of sports and games.
The girls` favourite sport is tennis. They are members of a famous tennis club.
They spend their Saturday mornings playing tennis. Last summer they played for
their club and won several prizes.
John is very good at Rugby, but he doesn`t play
soccer, which is more popular on the Continent. Rugby and soccer are two kinds
of football. We play soccer with a round ball, and Rugby with an oval ball.
Sometimes Bob goes camping with his friends and then
they spend a week or so in the open air.
Golf is also very popular in England. John`s father
and mother like golf and hiking. All you need for hiking is a pair of good
shoes and a rucksack.
In winter they enjoy winter sports: skiing, ice-hockey
and skating.
