A hobby is a regular activity that is done for enjoyment, typically during

changing as interests and fashions changes.

increased since the late nineteenth century as workers have had more
leisure times and advancing production and technology have provided

technological advances, like video games.

MY VILLAGE
I live in a village by Mekong River. Every day, like most of my friends, I walk to
school. It is three kilometers away. After class, I often help my mother to collect
water from the river and feed the chickens. At the weekend, the villagers often
gather at the community hall where there is a TV. The adults watch TV, but more
often they talk about their farm work and exchange news. The children run around
playing games and shouting merrily. Laughter is heard everywhere.
