What's your hobby?

I bet, everyone has given such a topic at least once! :) If not hobby, then 'Tell us about your favourite music/animal/game/toy/magazine/gadget'. When students write such essays, the works are usually seen only by their teacher. If they post their answers here on a blog, everyone will read them!

For example, my hobby is scrapbooking. That is making post cards, decorating photo albums... I've started recently, but I'm already a big fan. Scrapbooking is very popular in the USA and UK. They have lots of gorgeous shops with equipment for it.




Now, your task
- tell us about your hobby in a few sentences. You can post links to pictures (you can't insert a picture into a comment)
- can you justify the use of blog for this activity?

  1. The main my hobby is my children. I like to rise them, play with them, teach them. Also I like surfing the net and a little bit gardening.
    I think that pupils like such activities, because it's the best way to express yourself.

    As teachers, we can bring authentic objects(like tickets) from the countries we`ve visited and use them on our lessons :)

  7. I'm Kate and I'm fond of different kind of crafts - anything from sewing toys and up to scrapbooking.
    As far as the task is concerned, I'm sure that's a great way for students to share the information about their individual interests and to practice the topic at the same time. I'd use it :))))

    The idea to use a blog for this specific topic is great because you can create a really 'personalised' entry with links embedded (cos i like redaing blogs as well), with pictures (from dif countries), video , music, - everything you could think of)
