Our Favorite Hobbies
Ahmed I started playing chess when I was six years old. My grandfather taught me, and we played
every weekend. We still play sometimes, but now I mostly go to the chess club at my school on
Mondays. The teacher there is very friendly and teaches us new strategies. Last month, I entered my
first competition! I didn’t win, but I enjoyed meeting other players. After chess club, I always buy an
apple to eat on my way home.
Mia When I was younger, I took dance classes, but two years ago I started learning to play the guitar.
My house is very close to the music school - it only takes five minutes to walk there! My teacher says
I’m doing well, and maybe next year I can perform in a concert. My parents gave me a beautiful guitar
for my birthday last year. After practice, I sometimes buy a sandwich from the café next to the music
school before going home.
Luis I’ve always loved swimming. I started having lessons at the local pool when I was four. The
swimming center is quite far from my home - my dad drives me there twice every week. The
instructors are very helpful, and they organize races for us every month. I enjoy participating in these
competitions. After swimming, I always have a delicious piece of cake in the pool café while I wait for
my dad to collect me.

Read the text and questions below. For each question, circle the correct letter A, B or C.
Interview with Sam Wilson, Artist by Emma Jones, aged 10
Can you tell me about your art classes? Yes, I teach painting at the community center. When I
started five years ago, only 8 students attended. Then it grew to 15, and now I have 25 people in my
class.
How did you learn to paint? Well, my school offered art classes after school, but I didn’t take them. I
wasn’t interested in art then. Later, at university, my roommate was an amazing artist. She showed me
how to mix colors and create different effects. My parents can’t draw at all, so they were very
surprised when I became an artist!
Where was your first job? I thought about working in an art gallery, but I decided to become a
teacher instead. I started working at a primary school, teaching young children how to paint and draw.
That’s where I learned how to explain art techniques in simple ways.
Which type of art do you like creating most? At home, I like making simple sketches of nature. I
also use a lot of bright colors in my landscape paintings - that’s what I enjoy most. My daughter is
excellent at drawing animals, much better than me!
What would you like to do next? Many artists want to have their work displayed in famous galleries.
But I’d rather write a book to help children learn art techniques. I already have a website with some
lessons, and many children use it - that makes me happy!
30. How many students does Sam teach now?
A. 8 B. 15 C. 25
31. Who taught Sam to paint?
A. a school teacher B. a university friend C. her parents
32. Sam’s first job was at a
A. gallery. B. community center. C. primary school.
33. Sam most enjoys creating
A. animal drawings. B. landscape paintings. C. simple sketches.
