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 kinds 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 are worth 8 money, but others are valuable(有价值的) only to their owners such as newspapers and coins.

I know a man who has a coin collection worth several thousand dollars. A short time ago he bought a rare(稀有的)fifty-cent piece which cost him $250! He was very happy about 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 if they are worth any money. 9, to my brother they are quite valuable. 10 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 like to do in our free time just for the fun of it.

What do you often do in your free time? As for me, I like listening to music. I like all kinds of music, especially country music. Do you know why I like country music best? Let me tell you.

Country music is a kind of music from the countryside of America. People first heard this kind of music on the radio in the 1920s and many started to like it from then on.

Country music became popular with cowboys（牛仔） first in the American countryside. Cowboys had to take care of cows day and night. When they were alone（独自） with the cows or fed the cows, they often sang country music songs to relax the animals. They sang about their lives in very simple words. When cowboys visited their friends and families on holidays, they usually sang and played country music, too. It uses simple words to say something about people's life. People in many parts of the world like to listen to country music because it's easy to know what the music is about, and it also makes people think of their good old days and quiet life.

Now, many musicians make country music a little different. These changes make the songs sound much better. They bring country music to more and more fans from all over the world.

Jim is a basketball fan(球迷). He is very good at playing basketball. Michael Jorden is his favorite basketball player. Jim is on the school basketball team. Every Friday afternoon, they play basketball after class. Jim's friend Mike isn't good at basketball, but he's very good at football. Ronaldo is his favorite football player. Mike is on the football team. They play football every Tuesday afternoon.

Do you like sports? Do you play basketball or baseball in your P.E. class or after school?

My sister and I like sports very much. We are in our school tennis club （俱乐部）.We play tennis in the morning. It's very interesting.
