Task 2: Listen again then answer the following questions. Track 1
1. Zachary
I used to play the piano a lot when I was younger, but I don't play much anymore. Now I enjoy playing in a band. We call ourselves The Bandits. We've been practicing for a few months in my garage, and pretty soon we're going to gideandethitienganh.info sưu playing at parties. Maybe we'll become famous! We all have a great time. I like doing things with other people that's what I like best about it.
2. Erica
I've always collected things, even when I was young. I used to collect everything comics books, baseball cards, you it. But they're all packed away in boxes now. Now my favorite pastime is gardenin I all I spend all weekend outside with my flowers. I love seeing them change. That's what I like best about it, I guess. They're these little seeds at first, and then one day, they're big, beautiful flowers.
3. Evan
I like collecting things. I collected baseball cards when 1 was a kid, but I don't anymore. These days, baseball card collectors are only interested in the money. 1 wanted to collect things that are really beautiful, so that's why 1 started collecting stamps. Some of the stamps 1 have are really, really beautiful. I think they're like paintings. What I like best is looking at my collection. It's like walking through a tiny museum full of wonderful paintings.
4. Danielle
I always loved reading as a kid, so for a long time I wanted to write children's books. I tried to do
it for a few years, after college, but it was really hard to come up with good stories. I guess I'm not
very good with words. Now, I'm happy just painting. I've won a few prizes, too, in art competitions, for
my watercolors and oil. The pictures are important to me, though, not the prizes. What I enjoy most is
creating pictures. It makes me so happy.
5. Marcus
Well, I'm retired now, and I have a lot of free time. I worked for the same company for over thirty
years, mostly in the same little office. I worked long hours, and when I came home form work, I was
too tired to do anything but read the newspaper. Now it's different. I spend almost all my free time
outdoors playing golf. I guess what I love best is looking at the beautiful blue sky.
