My First Trip to Hanoi

My name’s Nam and I want to tell you a funny story about my first trip. Last
weekend I went to Hanoi with my family. We took a cheap flight and we stayed in
a hotel in the city centre. I packed all my clothes and my computer in a bag. My
dad asked me not to check it in but I did. We got our luggage at the airport. When I
opened my bag, it was full of books and girls’ clothes. The bag looked exactly like
my bag but there were skirts, shoes and lots of books and magazines. I phoned the
airport but they didn’t know anything about my bag. Therefore, I spent three days
without any clothes and computer. My brother gave me some of his clothes but
they were too big and I looked terrible! We also visited some famous places in
Hanoi
140
such as Hoan Kiem Lake, Tran Quoc Pagoda and I took some photos of my family.
On the last day of my trip, my bag suddenly arrived at the hotel. I was very happy
to see it and I didn’t have to pack. Anyway, we had a great trip.

READING
What is a hobby?
We have a hobby for pleasure and we have no idea of making a profit out of it.
Some people like collecting stamps while some others enjoy photography. These
hobbies or interests are sometimes expensive but very pleasant. Some people are
interested in going fishing because they feel relaxed when they sit near a lake or a
river with the rod and line in hand. Others spend their spare hours painting or
gardening and these are creative hobbies. There may be as many hobbies as there
are men.
In selecting hobbies, people should follow certain rules. A person should select a
hobby that causes no harm to others. A person gets annoyed when his neighbor
plays the music too loudly. In fact, a hobby is extremely personal, so it should not
affect people around. Moreover, one should be careful not to select a hobby that is
too expensive because the hobby can become a burden. Last of all, hobbies should
also be creative; however, people should not try to make hobbies their professions
to earn money because hobbies may lose their value.
