Hobbies
When someone does an activity that is not a part of his or her job and is done for fun,
it is called a hobby. Most people enjoy hobbies during their free time. Some people spend a lot
of time on their hobbies. There are nearly as many kinds of hobbies, as there are people. A
hobby can be about making or collecting things, or enjoying an experience.
Creative hobbies are popular. Some creative hobbies are writing, drawing, and making
pottery. A lot of people like making jewelry or clothes. People who do these kinds of hobbies
sometimes become writers or artists when they retire. Collecting is also popular. Most collectors
used to buy coins, stamps, or baseball cards. Today, toys, games, and model cars are trendy.
Collectors buy and sell things on the Internet. They also shop online in stores all around the
world. Enjoying an experience is a hobby, too. Some people listen to music. Others watch
movies or read books. Many people travel or play sports. Helping people is a hobby. There are
places you can help build houses for poor families. You can help feed the homeless at soup

Eearwatch
Have you ever wanted to do something different? Five years ago Will Slade read about
an organisation called earthwatch. Eearthwatch finds volunteers for expeditions to study and
explore different parts of the world.
Will decided to join an expedition to study elephants in Africa. T wasn't sure about it
before I went." says Will. "But in fact I really enjoyed every minute of the expedition. We slept
in tents and we cooked our own food, but it was great to see the elephants and all the other
animals there."
He has counted birds in the rain forests of South America. He has planted trees in Europe
and he has studied whales in the Pacific Ocean.
"Only my last expedition I was in Hawaii. We were on a small island. We got up at 6
a.m. every morning and had our breakfast. Then we went out in the boats and we looked for
whales. We spent most of the day in the boat. We photographed the whales, counted them,
and we recorded their songs. Whales sing to each other, you know. In the evenings we put all
the data into the computer. It was hard work, but we had a lot of fun, and I learnt a lot, too."
Earthwatch has found volunteers for hundreds of expeditions. They're all ordinary
people-male and female, young and old, teachers, students, office workers, engineers. They've
dug up dinosaur bones in North America and they've studied ancient civilisations in Central
America and Australia.
Here's Will again. "I've enjoyed all the expeditions, and I've seen some fantastic places.
How many people have slept on a beach, climbed a mountain, or even seen a whale? This
world is such a beautiful place, but it's disappearing fast. We have to learn more about it if
we're going to save it."

IX. Read the text and answer the following questions.
Bun Bo Hue originates from Hue City Central Viet Nam. The broth is made by cooking
beef bones for a long time and a variety of different spices, especially lemongrass. How does
it taste? Well, having a bowl of Bun bo Hue, you will easily recognize that it is completely
different from Pho in the North of Viet Nam, because the broth of Bun bo Hue is much spicier.
How to make it? Learning how to make a clear broth from beef bones and meat is quite
difficult task. After selecting fresh beef in the market, we boil it with bones; then, we take the
bones out of the water to obtain a tasty clear broth. A typical version of Bun bo Hue must
include pork, roast beef, pig’s blood, shrimp sauce and chopped lettuce.
The interesting thing is that, the amount of salt put in the beef noodles recipe varies
between seasons. For example, during summer, Bun bo Hue is served with soy bean, mint and
different kinds of lettuce while in the winter, the recipe is saltier added with lemongrass and
fish sauce.
The best Bun Bo Hue comes from the street vendors who work from dawn to early
morning. In Hue, when night lights are on, you can still enjoy a good bowl of this noodle soup
at some restaurants or food stores on the streets. This hot dish represents just one of Hue’s
traditional cuisines.
