Many people have got interesting hobbies. For example, I’ve got
friends who collect black and white photos from the sixties. My sister
enjoys cooking dishes from different countries. Last weekend, she
invited me to her house and she and her husband cooked Mexican
food. We had some fantastic tacos.
Other people have more unusual hobbies. For instance, my next-door
neighbour collects old records. She has got a lot of vinyl records in
a special room next to her bedroom. Of course, she also has a very
old record player and really loves listening to that music. She spends
hours listening to Elvis Presley’s songs! She just adores him. The
funny thing is that she never listens to any modern piece of music.
She doesn’t even know what Coldplay is!

Anne You are right. I’m not fine. I’m worried. My parents are not at
home. They went to Oxford for the weekend and I’m here with
my younger sister.
Peter And? There’s nothing wrong with that, is there?

dishes yesterday because I was tired, so this morning I put
everything in the dishwasher.

why I’m phoning you, to invite you to go for a walk by the river.
