Unit 2: Interests
Lesson A, Activity 2 Getting started: Leisure time
Gina Meet our new reporter for the College News, Max Lane. Max is a full-time student
majoring in journalism. So tell us, Max, what are your hobbies?
Max Well, I enjoy writing. I like to do a bit of creative writing every day – in the evenings
mostly. Someday I want to write a novel, but for now it’s just a hobby.
Gina What else do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Max Let’s see, what else? Well, I design cards. I’m good at drawing, and I’m really into
computer graphics, so I sit and learn new programs, and I play around with them.
Gina Can you play a musical instrument?
Max Yeah, I play the saxophone, and I can play the piano a little, but not very well. I’d like
to play in a jazz band or something. And I like to sing, but I really can’t sing at all.
Gina Are you good at sports?
Max Not really. I prefer to watch sports on TV. I like to play pool. Is that a sport? I guess I
jog occasionally. But I hate going to the gym and working out.
Gina Are you interested in learning new things?
Max Yeah. I love to do new stuff all the time – learn new skills, you know. I’m really excited
about writing for the College News.
