I like to spend my free time in different ways. I am fond of visiting interesting places, cinemas and reading books. Of course, I have a hobby.

Do you know what a hobby is? Where does the word come from? Many of us have pets - dogs and cats. They are like members of our family. In England many years ago farmers displayed the same love for horses. Robbin, Dobbin and Hobbin were the names which farmers gave to their horses most often. The name Hobbin was changed into Hobby and became the word used for toy horses. And only many years later the word "hobby" began to be used in its modern meaning - "something", what you do in your spare time Hobbies differ like tastes. Hobbies are divided into four large classes. They are doing things, making things, collecting things and learning things.

The most popular hobby of all groups is doing something. It includes everything from gardening to travelling and from chess to volleyball.

Gardening is one of the oldest of man's hobbies. It is a well-known fact that the English are very popular of gardening and growing flowers, especially roses.

Both grown-ups and children are fond of playing computer games. It's new, but a popular hobby. Making things includes drawing, painting, making sculpture and designing costumes. Some are interested in music. They collect records and tape recordings, others write music or play musical instruments.

Almost everyone collects something at some period of his life: stamps, coins, match-boxes, books, records, postcards, toys and watches. And very often some collections are housed in museums and galleries. I realize that collecting things as a hobby depends on one's age and income.

There are different clubs of collectors, where people can show us their col­lection and tell us why it is special. At other times they have a swap-shop, and people exchange duplicates, or swap something they don't want for some­thing new. That can be fun because most people like bargaining. Some of our keenest collectors are going to tell you about their hobbies.

No matter what kind of hobby a person has, he always has an opportunity of learning from it and that becomes the most exciting aspect of a hobby. Hob­bies help you to choose your future profession very often. If you've chosen a hobby according to your character and taste you are lucky because your life becomes more interesting.

Now a few words about my hobbies, I think I belong to that group of peo­ple who like doing things. As a typical teenager, I spend hours exploring the Internet and play computer games.

My hobby is also collecting stamps and coins. Collecting stamps is great. I think they're the best things to collect. There are so many different ones from every country. Collectors usually have a theme: stamps from one country, stamps about space, animals, famous people, etc. You could think of lots more. My theme is flowers. I found out about rare plants, flowers of different places in the world from my collection.

Collecting could cost you a lot of money, if you bought very old stamps. However, collecting modern stamps isn't too expensive. Anyway, the club helps. I don't buy many stamps. I get mine by swapping with friends. It's good fun. My stamps look nice and a good album is beautiful.

I have got a lot of coins. One of them is rare, and worth a lot of money. I found my rarest coin, a 1932 Florrin, in some change. It's not the oldest one I have, that's a penny from 1797.1 collect coins because I like the history they record. It's exciting to think how old they are. I am starting to collect coins from different countries. I swap with my friends, sell some and buy some. I like learning about them in my catalogue. It's a very interesting hobby.

There are all sorts of things that you can collect. You must be interested in one of them.

And finally I would like to say that as soon as I finish school and enter a university, I hope to spend more time on all of my hobbies.

STAGES OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY

1.Ответьте на вопросы:

1. What is the aim of criminal law?

2) What are the principles of criminal law?

3) What is the basic Russian judicial organ?

4) What is the preparation of a crime?

2. Прочитайте и переведите текст:

As a rule, premeditated criminal activity consists of several stages: preparation, attempt and commission. Preparation of a crime is the search for or adaptation of means or instruments, or any other premeditated creation of conditions for the commission of a crime. Preparation of a crime is generally a punishable offence. But in determining the penalty, the court must take into consideration the extent of the danger to society involved in the preparations, the degree to which the criminal intent has been put into effect, and the causes that prevented the full commission of the crime. In causes where the person plotting a crime has not gone belong the preparations, the court usually imposes a milder penalty or none at all. An attempt is a premeditated act directly aimed at the commission of a crime but not completed for reasons not depending on the will of the guilty person. An attempt is a punishable offence. But in determining the penalty the court must also take into consideration the character and the degree of the danger to society involved in the act committed by the guilty person, the degree to which the criminal intent has been put into effect, and the causes that prevent the full commission of the crime. A crime is considered as committed when the guilty person has performed the act containing the corpus delict of the crime. Desisting from completion of a crime is possible in the stages of preparation and attempt when a person having the possibility of completing the crime of his own free will abandons his criminal intent before its completion. He is then responsible only if the act performed by him contains the corpus delict of another crime.

THE RUSSIAN COURT AND THE PROCURATOR'S OFFICE.

The Russian Court is an organ of state that administers justice on the basis of the laws of the Russian State. The basic Russian judicial organ is the district People's Court which consists of a judge and two people's assessors having the rights of judges when the court is in session. The majority of the cases are heard by the district People's Court. More important cases such as the crimes against the state are determined by the regional court or a court of equal standing. Judgements and sentences excluding those passed by the Supreme Court may be appealed against in a court of higher instance. The Supreme Court of Russia is the highest judicial organ of the Russian State. It is charged to supervise the work of all judicial organs. The Procurator's Office is established to exercise supervisory power over the strict observance and application of the law by all organizations, officials as well as by all citizens of the country. Other duties of the Procurator's Office are to investigate criminal cases, collect evidence against criminals and see to it that other investigating bodies act according to the law. So it may be said that the Procurator's Office, like all Russian Courts, protects legality, and law and order.
