Talking About Hobbies
Conversation 1
Varun: Have you got a hobby?
Neeta: Yes, I like to collect stamps.
Varun: Have you been collecting them for a while?
Neeta: Yes, I’ve been collecting stamps since I was a child.
Varun: That’s interesting. So you must have a huge collection now.
Neeta: Yes. By the way, what do you like doing in your free time?
Varun: Well, I like doing nothing. If I get some spare time, I’ll just sit in front of the TV. That’s all.
Neeta: That’s too bad. Why do you have to waste your time like that? Can’t you do something else?
Varun: Well, I’m a bit lazy, you know. Anyway, I’d like to see your stamp collection one day.
Neeta: Sure. You can come anytime.

Kavya: Looks like we’ve got similar tastes.
Meera: Yeah. By the way, what do you like to read – fiction or non-fiction?
Kavya: I’ll read anything – newspapers, magazines, novels, biographies. Just about anything.
Meera: That’s great. I’m more into fiction.
Kavya: Oh, I see. Anyway, it was nice talking with you. See you again.
