4. a. Read the information about some other hobbies and pastimes.

Match the activities to the pictures on page 45. Where in ex. 3a would they fit? Why?

A. While time travel is impossible, historical re-enactors say their hobby is the next best thing. They bring history into the present, educating themselves and spreading their knowledge in an interesting way to the public. It’s hard to say when hobbyists and history enthusiasts started putting on uniforms and recreating aspects of a historical event or period. Battle re-enactments are really popular, but many re-enactors are equally passionate about portraying daily activities, such as cooking, tailoring, and blacksmithing and other ordinary aspects of daily life. So historical re-enactment is not only about dressing up but also about mastering the skills of that time.

B. The craze originated in Japan in the 90s. Since then, it has taken root in the hearts and minds of anime enthusiasts across the globe, though others may find it odd. Its name is made up of two words, costume and role-play. Cosplay is about dressing up as favourite manga, anime or comic book characters. Anyone can become a cosplayer as it is a wonderful way of self-expression. One can buy a costume but most cosplayers prefer to create it themselves. The most popular form of presenting a cosplay costume publicly is by wearing it to a fan convention. To show their work cosplayers may also take photos.

C. It has a rich history and is a great hobby to take up as it is one that will benefit many others. Volunteering is something that people do for free because they have time on their hands and like doing it. So if you enjoy giving back to your community and do something rewarding with your free time, become a volunteer. It can make you a better person and help have a great time. You could read to the elderly in hospital, knit for charity, fight for the environment or shop for an elderly neighbour. If you’re eager to help animals, go to animal rescue homes or take care of homeless animals.

D. Born in New York City in the 1980s, this vocal style is now practised all over the world. Beatboxing is connected with hip-hop culture. It is the art of producing drum beats, rhythm, and musical sounds using one’s mouth, lips, tongue, and voice. In classic beatboxing, there are three main sounds plus the beat. However, box beaters today can make up to eight different sounds at the same time. It may seem quite easy to create separate beats, but you have to train very hard to be able to perform a piece of music using just your own body.

E. Maps, notebooks and GPS devices are all you need for the activity that was born in Oregon in 2000. Participants use their navigation skills to find hidden containers called geocaches [‘dʒiːəʊkæʃɪz]. Each cache has a logbook to list the people who visit it. It also holds items which vary from coins to toys to postcards. They turn geocaching into a true treasure hunt: you never know what you may find in the cache. And if you take something, it’s only fair to leave something in return. The new pastime caught on quickly and now there are over 6 million geocachers around the world.
