Hobby is a favorite occupation of a person in his or her free time. People are different so they have hobbies of various kinds. Somebody likes to knit or sew things, other likes to make everything with his own hands or to draw, to take pictures. Many children and grow-ups are fond of collecting. They collect old coins, postcards, toys, stamps.Hobby helps people to relax, to forget about their troubles and to have a good time.My hobby is learning English. Nowadays it’s especially important to know foreign languages because we need it for our work, for travelling abroad. Everyone who knows foreign languages can speak to people from other countries, read foreign authors in original that makes our outlook wider.Now English has become the world’s most important language in politics, science, trade and cultural relations. English is the language of computers.Learning English for pleasure includes listening to my favorite English songs, watching films without dubbing, chatting with friends from English-speaking countries in internet. All these things make my life exciting.I think my hobby is very interesting and useful.

The big clock on the tower of the Palace of Westminster in London is often called Big Ben. But Big Ben is really the bell of the clock. It is the biggest clock bell in Britain. It weighs 13.5 tons.
The clock tower is 318 feet high. You have to go up 374 steps to reach the top. So the clock looks small from the pavement below the tower.
But its face is 23 feet wide. It would only just fit into some classrooms.
The minute-hand is 14 feet long. Its weight is equal to that of two bags of coal. The hour-hand is 9 feet long.
The clock bell is called Big Ben after Sir Benjamin Hall. He had the job to see that the bell was put up.
Sir Benjamin was a big man. One day he said in Parliament, "Shall we call the bell St. Stephen's?" St. Stephen's is the name of the tower.
But someone said for a joke, "Why not call it Big Ben?" Now the bell is known all over the world by that name.
