From Monday to Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in the evenings and weekends they are free and1themselves. Some watch television or go to the movies, others 2sports. This is decided by their own3.
There are many different ways to spend our4time
Almost everyone has some kind of5. It may be something from collecting stamps to 6model planes. Some hobbies are very 7, but others don't cost anything at all. Some collections (收藏) are worth (值) 8of money; others are valuable (有价值的) only to their owners (主人) .
I know a man who has a coin collection worth (值) three9dollars. A short time ago he bought a rare fifty-cent piece that10 him $250! He was very happy about this collection and thought the price was all right. On the other hand, my youngest brother collects match boxes. He has almost 600 of them, but I wonder11they are worth any money. However, 12my brother they are quite valuable. 13makes him happier than to find a new match box for his collection.
That's what a hobby means, I think. It is something we 14 to do in our free time just for the 15of it. The value (价值) in dollars is not important, but the pleasure it gives us.
