I enjoy the honest and open relations in my family – but I think discipline must be used when necessary. There’s never been a division between us, the children, and them, parents. Freedom has made us close.

I knew a girl whose parents were very strict and it made her a liar. I wouldn’t like to do anything to upset my parents.

(from “Incentive English” by w.s. Fowler, J. Pidceck)

II. Read the following text. Answer the questions after it. Use the information given in it while speaking about hobbies or pastime. Hobbies for pleasure

Nowadays everybody knows that people are very busy and don't have much time to spare. Sometimes it's only the weekend. So let's treasure every hour we can devote to ourselves and think of the ways of having a good time in the best way possible for us.

There are people who want to broaden and enrich their knowledge during their free time. If you are among them, go to the library or reading-hall where you can find a lot of books of your favorite writers and poets, or to the museums and picture galleries where you see the works of well-known painters and sculptors of all times. You shouldn't forget the computer — your greatest helper in searching for knowledge.

If you want to be strong and healthy, go in for sports. There are many sports clubs, swimming-pools, gymnasiums and sports grounds for everybody who loves sports. Sport will make you not only healthier and stronger, but kinder, more sociable, cheerful and even wiser. Sport will give you its strength and energy and you'll become a greater admirer of life with all its problems and wonders.

And don't forget about hobbies. You should have at least one, it'll help you to relax, dream and enjoy life better. There are so many hobbies to choose. So, look around more carefully and you'll find your own and the only one (or even more). And then you'll enjoy sweet melodies at the Concert Hall of chamber music, a ballet at the Opera House, a play at the Drama Theatre, a beautiful place beside a river or somewhere else.

And then isn't it a pleasure to see lots of things made with your own hands, to look through a large collection of old and rare coins, books or stamps, to present your friends with the pictures and drawings created by yourself, to amuse everyone with your green winter garden at home?

Tastes differ and if you have chosen a hobby according to your character and taste you are lucky. If not, don't waste your time and your life will become more interesting.

Travelling is also a good way to spend your spare time. Visiting new places, seeing sights and meeting new people is a very exciting and useful relaxation. Those who prefer a quiet holiday can go hiking. Your family or your friends are the very people to go with to the river bank, to the forest or to the seashore. It’s really wonderful to put up a tent, make a fire and spend time in the picturesque place.

People are always dreamers, our dreams are different but everyone can find his own way of enjoying his pastime.

III. Answer the following questions.

Do people, nowadays have much time to spare? Why yes or why not?
What are the ways to broaden and enrich people’s knowledge during free time?
What role does sport play in people’s lives?
Hobbies can help to relax, dream and enjoy life better, can’t they?
Tastes differ, don’t they?

Comment on this proverb, please.

IV. Read the following dialogues and make up your own using the example.

Well, what about sport? You look quite athletic …
I used to be am obsessive¹ tennis player, but I gave it up when I broke my ankle last year.
Oh, I really love tennis… Tom says I’m a natural. Shall we have a game sometimes?
Well, I’m really rusty. I’ll have to get a bit of practice first.
Don’t be silly. I’m only a novice. We’ll just have a friendly game.
O.K. See you on Monday.
O.K. Don’t forget to bring your racket. We’ll have a game after work.

¹ obsessive – чрезмерный

Where's Helen now I wonder? I’ve been calling her for an hour but she isn’t at home.
If she isn’t in, she is at the theatre then.
Well, is she at theatre – goer like that?
Yes, she’s crazy about theatre, you know. She never misses a new performance at our Yakub Kolas Drama Academic Theatre.
And what’s on there tonight? Oh, yes, “Sleeping Beauty”, the first night.

What on BBC-2 at 8 o’clock?
As for as I can remember there’s a quiz programme.
Would you mind if I watch it? I mustn’t miss that.
No, I’ve been looking forward to it all evening myself. But then I want to see part two of the serial.
O.K. we’ll switch over.
