Transcription to exercise VII, Unit 2.

Speaker 1: I make model aeroplanes. I’ve been doing it for about five years now, and I think I’m beginning to understand it! You have to make a lot of bad models before you make a good one. You learn from your mistakes, though, and practice makes perfect, as they say. It’s important not to give up, but just keep on trying until you get it right.

Speaker 2: There’s nothing like the feeling you get when you’ve got a fish on the end of your line. I first went fishing with my Uncle Derek when I was very young. I loved it from the start. It’s good to learn a new skill from someone who knows you so well because you don’t mind making mistakes. He taught me the basics, but I was soon going out to the river on my own or with my friends.

Speaker 3: Karate. That’s my hobby. It looks like it could be dangerous, but it’s not really. The biggest risk is hurting yourself you’re not fit enough to do it. It’s not a good idea to do karate if you aren’t already in good shape. Get some exercise and then try karate. That’s what I tell people. Once you’re ready to try it, though, it can be a really enjoyable hobby.

Speaker 4: My hobby is walking in the countryside. There are lots of walks to go on in this area, and you always find someone to chat to. People are usually very friendly when they are out walking, and we talk about weather, or the beautiful views. It’s interesting to hear about all the places they’ve been walking in.

Speaker 5: Stamp collecting is great! It’s a bit like traveling the world. I’ve got stamps from over a hundred different countries, and some of them are actually quite valuable. The best thing is when you buy a stamp that you know is worth a lot more money than they’re asking for it. Sometimes, I sell stamps for a bit more than I paid for them. Than way, I have a little extra money to spend on more stamps.
