Famous Hobbies of Famous People.
All people have different hobbies. Hobbies make our life more interesting and help us learn a lot of useful things. Everyone knows that Alexander Pushkin is one of the greatest Russian writers, but not so many people remember that he could draw very well. He used to draw small pictures in his manuscripts. Mikhail Lermontov also painted beautiful pictures in his free time. Some of them can be seen in his family museums in Tarkhany or in Serebrennikovo. Today the most popular hobbies among famous people are sports, collecting different things, arts and making handmade things. Some of them are fond of driving fast, playing basketball or golf, windsurfing. Others enjoy collecting watches, knives, mice made of chocolate, glass or stone. Some collect bears or toy trains, the most popular are elephants, pigs and dolls. Some stars collect pictures, books, dishes and even shoes or bags. But exotic hobbies are also very popular. Have you ever heard of scrapbooking? This is a way of keeping personal and family history in the form of a scrapbook. Scrapbook albums have photographs, newspaper articles, drawings and short stories. Scrapbooking began in the 15th century and was very popular in England. Today it’s one of the most popular hobbies in the world. People find a topic — «My school life», «My childhood», «My summer holidays» — and make a scrapbook with their own hands. To make it you should choose the best pictures, draw something in the book, write some funny stories, glue a flower or make an envelope and put your friends’ letters in there. Any material can be used in scrapbooking.
