                                               UNIT 7: ACTIVITIES

             LISTENING
            A.  Steven is talking about his activities. Listen and check () the activities he
            does or does not do.
            I don’t really like playing games. I get bored sitting inside my house and playing

            these games over and over. In my free time, my friends and I usually enjoy camping
            or sometimes we go hiking. We have a lot of fun together. We cook good food and
            play outdoor games. They are great ways to enjoy nature, stay healthy and build good
            friendships. To many people, shopping is great, but I don’t really love going

            shopping. It’s crowded and wasting time looking for items that I never buy. Instead,
            when I’m not outdoors, I am interested in surfing the Internet. I can search for all
            kinds of things. It’s one of my favourite things to do.


                                     UNIT 8: HOBBIES AND INTERESTS
             LISTENING
            A.  People  are  talking  about  their  activities.  Which  activity  does  each  person
            enjoy doing now? Listen and choose the correct answer.

            Uyen.          I used to play the guitar when I was in High School. However, I don’t
                           really play it now. Now, I prefer playing the piano much more. I practise
                           everyday no. I find it more interesting than playing any other musical
                           instrument. I am not going to play in a band. I want to become famous

                           by myself in the future. That’s what I like best about it.

            Carey.         A few years ago, I had a serious injury when hiking a mountain. Since
                           then I haven’t hiked anymore. I am much less active than I used to be. I

                           just  enjoy  lying  on  a  sofa  and  reading  the  newspaper.  That’s  what  I
                           really love doing when I am at home. My friends sometimes ask me to
                           go bird watching with them, but I don’t really like it. I prefer drinking
                           coffee to birdwatching.


            Alex.          When  I  was  younger, I  was  really  keen  on playing  games, but  now I
                           don’t think I love them  much because I feel bored with  them. I think
                           watching  videos  is  as  boring  as  playing  videos  games.  I  can’t  stand
