Mary' hobby

My hobby is making paper dolls. The paper dolls are always drawn on cardboard and cut out. I also design some beautiful clothes fir my paper dolls. I usually draw clothes on paper, cut them out and put them on the dolls. I often do this on Sundays. £ enjoy making paper dolls because I like drawing and designing. When I design clothes, I sometimes learn about the clothes that people of other countries wear. I hace made paper dolls for one year. Now I have got over thirty dolls and more than a hundred sets of beautiful clothes.

Sam's hobby.

Sam has got a lot of hobbies and interests. He usually runs every morning. He occasionally goes skiing on Saturdays during the winter. He often rides a horse at a stable near his home on Sumdays. He is never late. He loves listening to music. He always goes to choir practice on Wednesday evenings and sometimes sings in the church on Sundays. He doesn't have much money, so he rarely goes to concerts in the city . He seldom watches TV at weekends because he likes doing things outside. He usually goes to the gym if it rains outside.
