What Do They Do?

Zoe: I love being with animals. My house is like a little zoo; I have a cat, a dog, a hamster and two fish. I have been horse- riding since last year. I think I am doing well. I also enjoy volunteering in a pet shop. I go there every weekend between 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The reason why I am volunteering is that I like socializing and I love helping people as well as animals.

Matt: I am not into doing sport, but I like watching basketball on TV, especially NBA matches. My favourite hobby is coding. I have taken up coding this year. My ICT teacher got me into that and since then I have been designing my personal website. I also enjoy creating online games. My parents always complain that I spend too much time on computers and I don’t go out. But I don’t mind staying in at all!

Bill: I am a big fan of capoeira. It’s not a martial art like taekwondo or karate. It’s not a dance, either. It’s a kind of exercise with a little physical contact. It started in Brazil 400 years ago! I love doing capoeira because it keeps me fit and my trainer is amazing! I am a member of a club in my neighbourhood. At weekends, young people come around to our club to have more information about capoeira.

Alexis: Skiing is the only answer that I would give if somebody asks me what my hobby is. It’s actually more than a hobby; it’s a passion for me. I have always loved the snow and being active when it’s freezing cold outside. I started skiing when I was just 4. I have been skiing for 9 years now. I think skiing is one of the toughest sports. It requires a strong core, balance, speed and more importantly a strong mind. I spend all my free time for skiing, so there’s no time for any other activities. I am going to be in the National team this year. I can’t wait!
