A hobby is a very important for everybody. It is like a cure /léčba/ if you are tired, sad, feeling small or in low spirits /smutek/. A hobby is a complete change from work but some hobbies are rather expensive (travelling), some are dangerous (motocycle, bungee jumping), some are very romantic (cooking), some are very time-consuming (watching TV).
    Traditional indoor hobbies include collecting things e.g. stamps, postcards, model cars and air-planes, butterflies stickers, shells, coins, dolls, matchboxes /krabička zápalek/, beer mats, concert programmes, decorated plates, antiques – simply anything.
Many people like to do something creative such as painting or drawing, making pottery /hrnčířství/, playing musical instruments, dress making, model-making, knitting /pletení/, sewing /šití/, cooking, working in a garden or doing crossword puzzles.
Television and videos provide /poskytuje/easy indoor entertainment, and watching TV is by far /zdaleka/ the most popular leisure /volno/ activity. People also play computer games or use the Internet. Other home-based activities include reading and listening to music.
Some people have a sport as their hobby. The most popular sports which people play are football, ice-hockey, basketball, handball, softball and tennis. Some people play non-professional with friends. Many people go regularly to a sports centre which provides facilities for keep-lift classes’ add indoor sports such as squash or badminton. These sport centres are exploited /využívané/ mostly in wither.  On the other hand, a lot of people, who are interested in sport, prefer to watch others play at a stadium or on television. The fitness are today very exploited, because I think, it is a trend to go to a fitness centre with friends or alone.
Going out can be another form of relaxation, but rather expensive. You can go to the cinema, to see a concert, or to see a theatre performance. Art lovers often visit exhibitions in art galleries and museums.
Some people like to spend their time with their friends. They have a picnic in the park or go out for a drink or go dancing, eat out.
Many families, especially this, which live in big towns and cities, like to go away for the weekend. They go to the countryside for short trips or they spend weekends at their cottages – doing gardening, growing fruit and vegetables, flowers, cutting grass…etc.
Different people have a different hobbies and interests, they spend their space time in different ways. Leisure-time /volný čas/ activities also very according to the season of year.

Young people have the problems, that they have no hobbies and interests. So they are with friends outside, they make disorder, they do graffiti, steal or other bad thinks. Their parents haven´t enough time to spend it with children, so they give them money and they do, what they want. 
I think, there aren’t big differences between hobbies in Czech Republic and England. These both countries like football, we have ice hockey and English people have English tea with milk.
    My big hobby is our dog. We have a one year old Labrador retriever, we make walks and we play together. Then I like volleyball, I play it since I was in the 4. Class on primary school. My next big hobby is spinning, but unfortunately I haven´t enough time and money to do it. Then I like gardening and cleaning very much. I know, that my hobbies are for somebody the most unpopular thinks. I like spending time with small children, I have two younger siblings. And naturally, my big interest is my friend Jenda.
