C - READING

Read the passage and

My father has an unusual hobby; carving eggshells. As everyone knows, eggshells

are very fragile. My dad can make beautiful pieces of art from empty eggshells.
It’s amazing! He started the hobby five years ago after a trip to the US where he
 saw some carved eggshells in an art gallery. My father did not go
to class to learn how to carve. He learned everything from the Internet. Some
people say that this hobby is difficult and boring, but it isn’t. All you need is time.
It may take two weeks to complete one shell. I find this hobby interesting because
carved eggshells are unique gifts for family and friends. I hope that in the future
he’ll teach me how to do eggshell carving.
