УСТНАЯ ЧАСТЬ
Task 1. Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have found some interesting material for the presentation and you want to read this text to your friend.

Every person has hobby and prefers to spend at least 1 hour per day doing his favorite thing. Children are crazy about computer games. Teenagers are very different today. There are teens who study a lot and there are some who don’t do homework. Someone spends a lot of time at home and others are out all day long. But still we have a lot in common.
The most popular hobby among young people is music. Music helps us to relax and fills with energy.
Another thing that teens like to do is sports. Today sport is more popular than 10 years ago. It’s because young people are more responsible for health. They try to keep fit and to be active during the day.
Also volunteering is becoming popular today. Young people are really curious about saving our planet, helping to homeless animals and even people. That means that young people today care about nature and people around us.
Of course they like to go out together, go to disco, play computer games, go for picnics, but the most popular are music, sports, arts and volunteering.
