From Monday to Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in the evenings and weekends they are free and 1 themselves. Some watch television or go to the movies, others 2 sports. This is decided by their own 3. There are many different ways to spend our 4 time.
Almost everyone has some kinds of 5. It may be something from collecting stamps to 6 model planes. Some hobbies are very 7, but others don't cost anything at all. Some collections are worth 8 money, but others are valuable(有价值的) only to their owners such as newspapers and coins.
I know a man who has a coin collection worth several thousand dollars. A short time ago he bought a rare(稀有的)fifty-cent piece which cost 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 wonder if they are worth any money. 9, to my brother they are quite valuable. 10 makes him happier than to find a new match box for his collection.
That's what a hobby means, I think. It is something we like to do in our free time just for the fun of it.
