📕 Reading
➥1. Complete each sentence with no more the three words.
People divide hobbies into four big groups: doing things, making things, collecting things, and learning things. Gardening belongs to the most popular group – doing things.
Gardening is one of the oldest outdoor activities. It has something for everyone, even for children. Gardening teaches children about flowers, fruits, and vegetables. They can also learn about insects and bugs. When gardening, children learn to be patient and take on responsibility. They learn to wait for the plants to grow to maturity. And if they don’t water their plants, their plants will die. This teaches them valuable lessons about responsibility.
Gardening is also good because everyone in the family can join in and do something together. My mum and I love gardening. We usually spend an hour a day in our garden. It really makes us happy, and we love spending time together. (sachmem)

Do you have any hobbies? If you don’t, please start one because having a hobby is very beneficial. Firstly, a hobby gives you something fun to do during your leisure time, especially during pandemics. During the Covid-19 lockdown, my family reads books and watches films together. This makes us feel better when we have to stay at home. Secondly, a hobby makes you a more interesting person. If you have a lot of experience and skills, you can share them with others. I love traveling, and I usually share my experiences with my classmates. This way, I have more friends. Now we have a travel group in our class. Last but not least, a hobby can help you develop new skills. If you spend a lot of time on your hobby, your skills will improve. My sister loves sewing. After sewing for two years, she can now sew beautiful doll clothes. Those are the reasons why you should have hobbies.
