You have received a letter from your English-speaking pen-friend Jeremy who writes: You have received a letter from your English-speaking pen-friend Jeremy who writes: …I change hobbies at least twice a year. Maybe I haven’t found the one I really like yet. What kinds of hobbies do you and your friends have? What hobbies do you think are expensive and why? Why do you think people need hobbies? I’ve just finished redecorating my room… Write a letter to Jeremy. In your letter − answer his questions, − ask 3 questions about his room.
Dear Jeremy, Thank you for your last letter, it was great to hear some news from you! I change my hobbies a lot, too. My new one is making beautiful postcards. It helps me to relax after a tough day and all my friends just love to receive my postcards! As for themselves, most of them do mountain biking as a hobby. I think that the most expensive hobbies are connected with travelling and sports, because plane tickets and hotels are expensive. And some sport equipment can be expensive too. In general, people need hobbies to express themselves in their own way. Sometimes people also trying to find hobbies to communicate with other people who are interested in the same things. Anyway, you've mentioned your room. How is the redecoration going? Did you change your room completely? Is there more free space now? I've got to go as my father is asking me to help him with his car. Write back soon. Best wishes, Stephen

We spend great part of our lives at our jobs, so choosing a right career is one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. Many students finish high school and begin college without a clear idea of what they want to do in future. Part of the problem is the size of the job market itself. With so many kinds of jobs (2000) how can you tell which will interest you? Some of occupations are already overcrowded. In old industries there may be little need for new workers, while new and growing industries will offer jobs now and in the future. Therefore, it is extremely important to explore your choice of occupations from every angle, collect as much information as you can. But above all you must evaluate yourself. Find out where your interests and talents lie.. First start with yourself, make a list of your interests, talents and abilities.. By concentrating on a few, or on one you may surprise yourself at how good you can get.
Shopping in Britain is also famous for its Freshfood. Freshfood is a chain of food stores and very successful supermarkets which has grown tremendously in the twenty years since it was founded, and now it has branches in the High Streets of all the towns of any size in Britain. In the beginning the stores sold only foodstuffs, but in recent years they have diversified enormously and now sell clothes, books, records, electrical and domestic equipment. The success of the chain has been due to an enterprising management and to attractive layout and display in the stores. It has been discovered that impulse buying accounts for almost 35 per cent of the total turn over of the stores. The stores are organized completely for self-service and customers are encouraged to wander around the spaciously laid out stands. Special free gifts and reduced prices are used to tempt customers into the stores and they can't stand the temptation.
