12、have it! The 10 most popular hobbies. Unfortunately hobbies take time. The majority of people spend 40 hours a week at work or doing stuff for or in school.

13、 meet your friends at the beach. At the beach you could swim, relax, read, listen to music, play cards and watch other people play beach volleyball.

14、e now done half of the 10 most popular hobbies all in one afternoon! Of course there are many other hobbies which are considered to be a little bit more extreme, such as bungee jumping, sky diving, free running or abseiling. These extreme sports can only be done if you are very fit and some of them,

15、 e.g. sky diving, are expensive. They do not belong in the category of popular hobbies. However, one of the most popular sports is jogging which can be done at any time anywhere (except perhaps where there is a lot of traffic and therefore a lot of air pollution!) and does not even need any special

16、equipment. The only thing necessary is a good pair of shoes. So there is no reason to say you have no time for hobbies. 3.4参考译文: 十大热门业余爱好 初次与人相识时，我肯定会问人家这样一个问题:“你最喜欢的业余爱好是什么,”大多数人会就那么看着我，他们也吃不准自己是否有什么业余爱好。有的人甚至说他们根本没有业余活动的时间。他们会很快反问我同样的问题。这时我就会给他们列出一长串我喜欢的业余活动。而大多数人如果认真想一下的话，会发现其实他们有不少业余活动，而且其中多数还名列

17、十大热门业余爱好排行榜。 十大热门业余爱好 1. 烹饪 2. 健身 3. 保龄球 4. 团队运动 5. 购物 6. 旅行 7. 纸牌或棋类游戏 - 4 - 8. 游泳 9. 跳舞 10. 网球 好啦这就是最受欢迎的十大业余爱好。不幸的是，业余爱好是要花时间的。大多数人每周要工作或者学习40个小时。剩下来留给业余爱好的时间就不多了。因此最好选择那些能同时进行的业余爱好。比如说，你可以同朋友们在海边见面。在海边，你可以游泳、放松、读书、听音乐、玩牌、观看沙滩排球。当然，你也可以加入打排球的队伍，或者去冲浪。然后，你理应再好好睡一觉。 如果我没算错的话，你一个下午就完成了十大业余爱好中的一半当然还有

18、许多其他稍稍有些极限的业余爱好，例如蹦极、高空跳伞、跑酷或者绳降。这些极限运动只要你身体健康就可以完成，而有一些，比如高空跳伞，花费可能会比较大，并不属于大众业余爱好。 但是，最流行的运动项目之一是慢跑，可以随时随地进行(除非交通特别拥挤因而空气污染严重的时候)，完全不需要任何专门的装备。唯一必需的是一双好鞋。 所以别再找理由说自己没有时间搞业余爱好了。 3.5 Important words and structures unfortunately adv.itsapitybut不幸的是;遗憾的是;令人失望的是 e.g. I like cats but unfortunatelyImalle
