From Monday to Friday most people are busy working or studying , but in the evenings and weekends they are free and 1 themselves.Some watch television or go to the movies, others 2 sports.This is decided by their own 3 .
There are many different ways to spend our 4 time.Almost everyone has some kind of 5 :it may be something from collecting stamps to 6 model planes.Some hobbies are very 7 , but others don't cost anything at all.Some collections(收藏)are worth 8 of money, others are valuable(有价值的)only to their owners.
I know a man who has a coin collection worth several 9 dollars.A short time ago he bought a rare(罕见的)fifty-cent piece which 10 him$250!He was very happy abut this collection and thought the price was all right.On the other hand, my youngest brother collects match boxes.He has almost 600 of them, but I wonder 11 they are worth any money.However, 12 my brother they are quite valuable. 13 makes him happier than to find a new match box for his collection.
That's what a hobby means, I think.It is something we 14 to do in our free time just for the fun of it.The value in dollars is not 15 , but the pleasure it gives us is.
