Lesson 22

  Tell Us About Your Hobbies

             Text A


JOHN:   What I like most, I suppose, is the fact that it's so unusual. I mean, when I
   tell people  what I do,they just look at me usually as if I'm mad.Maybe I am,
   anyway what I do is  this. I get up about a quarter past six every morning.
   I leave my wife in bed because she's not as mad as me - and I put my trunks
   on under under tracksuit and drive down to
   the park with my clothes in a case. It only takes about five minutes .because        
   there's no traffic of course at that time in the morning. So, when I get there
   I leave the car in the car park and run round a bit.I usually run for about ten
   minutes till I'm nice and warm, then comes the interesting bit. I run over to
   the car,get my case and then over to the pool. I take my tracksuit off and -in
   I jump. It's pretty cold I can tell you especially in the middle of winter-but
   I do a coupte of quick lengths and then I climb out, get changed and drive
   home, I just get back in time for breakfast - and I normally feel I've earned
   it too.
 
 
JACK:   Well, it's very detailed work you see, but I find it very relaxing. It's  
   strange I suppose that something like this where you have to concentrate a
   lot can be relaxing
   ing, but you see in my job I'm always making decisions and telling people what      
   to do but I never actuplly see what I've done. This is completely different.
   You see, here I'm actually making something myself. I start with a kite,
   usually it's got all the basic materials in it. Then you have to cut out all
   the shapes from the wood and stick them together. When you've made the frame,
   the wings and the fuselage, that is, you cover them with special paper and
   paint. Of course if it's going
   to fly properly, everything has to be properly balanced, you know.. I must say
   really though. I think I enjoy actaually making them more than flying them.
 
 
JANE:   Well in a sense I suppose I do it to save money. I mean things are so
   incredibly .expensive in the shops nowadays days, aren't they? But that's not
   the only reason really
   No, the beautiful thing is that you can make what you want when you want-and in      
   material you've chosen. I mean you don't have to depend on some paris designer
   to say what is fashionable. If you like an idea you see then of course you
   can copy it , but it gives you much more independence to do it yourself.
   I mean obviously it takes time , but I enjoy it , and with a sewing machine
   it doesn't take all that long to make even quite complicated things. And then
   finally you know that you've got something really unique. Especially if it's
   something you've designed yourself.
