A1 Listening Part 3 Different Hobbies (Transcript)
Look at the picture. Listen and look. There is one example.
Jack is telling his mother about his friends from school and their different hobbies. What is each person’s favourite hobby?
Mum: Hi, Jack.
Boy: Hi Mum, I went to visit my friend Ben today. He told me about his family’s new swimming pool! He loves swimming in it—it’s his favourite hobby!
Mum: It’s nice to have a swimming pool, but we can’t have one because our garden is very small.
Can you see the letter D? Now you listen and write a letter in each box.
Mum: What did you do on Saturday? Did you go out with your friend Tom from school?
Boy: Yes. I wanted to watch TV at home, but Tom came to see me and we went to the cinema near our house. We watched a funny film with some friends from school. Tom loves going to the cinema. He goes to the cinema every Saturday.
Mum: That’s nice.
Mum: How is Sally, your friend from school?
Boy: She’s very happy. Her parents bought her a new skateboard for Christmas. We play tennis together at school. I like tennis a lot, but she loves skateboarding.
Mum: It’s a nice sport, but she has to be careful not to fall and hurt herself.
Boy: My friend Bill lives in a village near a lake. He enjoys going for a walk in the forest near the lake. Every weekend, he goes to the lake with his father and catches many fish—that’s his favourite hobby.
Mum: That’s nice! They don’t need to buy any fish! That’s a good hobby!
Boy: Yes, but I think it’s boring!
Mum: Did you go out with your friend Ann yesterday?
Boy: Yes, we watched a film and had ice cream.
Mum: What’s her favourite hobby? Going to the cinema?
Boy: No. She loves playing the guitar. She goes to classes every Monday and Tuesday.
Mum: Did you talk to your friend Charlie in the morning? What did he want?
Boy: He asked me to go and play football with him tomorrow afternoon at the playground.
Mum: Is he a good player? Do you often play football with Charlie?
Boy: Yes, he is a good player. He likes swimming a lot, but his favourite hobby is football. Every Friday, I go to the playground with him to play football.
Now listen to it again.
