You know that in summer I attended English language school on Malta. One
of the lessons was devoted to collecting different things. Hobby is a person’s favorite
occupation. People usually choose hobbies according to their interests.
They collect stamps, toys, coins, cars, books.
When I was a child of ten I collected dresses for my Barby. It was so interesting
to draw them. My Mother helped me to sew them at first. Then I started
to make them myself. At school I had a lot of girl-friends who admired my collection.
Some of them liked my ideas and soon we decided to organize the club
of new fashion for Barbies.
My hobby was both interesting and useful. I asked my parents to take me to
the course of sewing. There I was taught how to cut out a pattern, how to join the
details. At first it was so difficult but I did my best. My doll and then I had original
and nice dresses. Now all Barby’s clothes are in the box waiting for other children.
My hobby influenced the choice of my future career. I am going to enter the
Academy of Art and Design. Having an interesting profession as well as an interesting
hobby will make my life twice more interesting.

зі своїми друзями. Висловіть свою думку щодо важ-
ливості знання іноземної мови.
It’s very important to know English.
Two thousands years ago English did not exist. A thousand years ago it was
a language used by less than two million people. Now it is the most influential
language in the world, spoken by more than a billion people on the planet as their
first, second or third language. English currently dominates science, business, the
mass media and popular culture. For example, 80% of e-mails on the Internet
are in English. But where will English be at the end of the third millennium?
One view is that English is going to become even more important as a global
lingua franca, dominating the world’s trade and media while most other languages
will become localized or just die out. At present, over half of the world’s
6,500 languages are in danger of extinction. Another view is that English is already
breaking up, as Latin did, into several separate languages. There are already dictionaries
of the “New Englishes”, such as Australian English, full of words that
a British English speaker would not recognize.
Hopefully, neither of these things will happen. Although different varieties of
English will continue to develop around the world, standard English will survive
