THE HOBBY
I have several /ˈsevrəl/ interests /ˈɪntrest/, one of which I feel most intriguing /ɪnˈtriːɡɪŋ/ is
Trekking /trekking/. Trekking is quite similar /ˈsɪmələr/ to traveling, but you need more physical
/ˈfɪzɪkl/ strength. Every trekking journey /ˈdʒɜːrni/ feels like an exciting adventure /ədˈventʃər/.
It is not just a pastime, it's an enriching /ɪnˈrɪtʃing/ experience /ɪkˈspɪriəns/
that has numerous /ˈnuːmərəs/ benefits. Trekking allows you to immerse /ɪˈmɜːrs/
yourself in nature, enhance /ɪnˈhæns/ your physical strength, and refresh your life after a hectic
/ˈhektɪk/ working day.
I also enjoy playing sports. Football is my favourite sport. I play football once or twice a week, and
it makes me feel better and relax /rɪˈlæks/. Sometimes I get injured /ˈɪndʒərd/, but it doesn't stop
me from playing football. Furthermore, I frequently watch football matches that I like, on weekend.
My favorite football club is Arsenal.
One of my other pastimes is reading. Reading books helps me relax, expand my knowledge, and obtain
/əbˈteɪn/ a new perspective /pərˈspektɪv/ on life. In the past, I often read books like the “Seed of
soul” /səʊl/ from first new. Currently, I enjoy books on business, finance, self-help and psychology
/saɪˈkɑːlədʒi/. One of my favorite books is “The Alchemist” /ˈælkəmɪst/ by Paulo Coelho. A
book packed of adventure /ədˈventʃər/, romance /ˈrəʊmæns/, and philosophy /fəˈlɑːsəfi/. I
have a lot of books, if you want, I can lend you some of them.
I believe I have a weird /wɪrd/ hobby. In the middle of the night (around 1-2 am) on the coldest
days of winter, I often go to the terrace /ˈterəs/ to sit alone with a hot cup of coffee. Admire /əd
ˈmaɪər/ the view in the large and quiet space, and feel the cold wind blowing on my face. At the
moment, I felt like whole of the world was mine.
Aside from these interests, which I believe are positive, I also have one that is a waste of time. I
frequently spend time visiting social networks, which provides me with some helpful information,
but the most of them are bullshits. Sometimes, social networks make me feel tired and time-
consuming /kənˈsuːmɪŋ/.
I suppose /səˈpəʊz/ many individuals share my interests. How about you?
