PEOPLE’S HOBBIES: Hi! My name is Tom. I'm twelve years old. I live in Madrid. I like doing karate after school It's fun. I learn how to fight and defend myself. In the summer vacation, I go with the kids from my karate club to a karate camp. We learn karate and have fun together. Every year there is a karate competition in Madrid. Last year I went to the competition and won a gold medal. The only problem with karate is that you work hard and you are tired! I don't want to be tired! Hi! My name is Maria. I'm eleven years old. I come from Rome. I draw pictures. I draw all the time. I draw things for my friends: greeting cards and posters. Sometimes I draw in class, but my teacher doesn't want me to draw. She wants me to listen to her. So I have a problem. But I love art lessons! Last week I went to the art museum and saw some famous pictures. It was great! Drawing is fun. It's easy: you need paper and pencils. Hi! I'm Roberto. I'm eleven years old. I come from Brazil. I don't like sport very much, and I'm not very good at it. I like music. My hobby is playing the guitar. Sometimes I play at concerts with other kids. The only problem that my big brother plays the guitar too, and there is only one guitar in the house. He doesn't want me to give the guitar. He wants it all the time! It's a problem! Last month a famous rock singer came to Brazil, and I went to the concert with my brother. It was cool!
