STORY: A hobby for Holly

1

My name’s Holly. I’m 10 years old.

I’m worried because all my friends have got hobbies and I haven’t got one.

So, this weekend, I’m going to visit some friends and learn about their hobbies. 

2

I’ve got a video camera to film my friend Owen.

He likes playing tennis.

It’s a great sport, Holly. Try it!

3

Ouch! No! I don’t like playing tennis.

This is Becca. She likes growing fruit.

I like growing vegetables, too.

Can you hold these potatoes?

Yuck!

These are my friends, Ben and Izzy.

They like dancing.

We love dancing. 

It’s really good exercise.

It’s exhausting.

6

I’m sitting with Eve.

She can’t talk to you because she’s concentrating.

Shh.

I don’t like doing puzzles. I’m not patient.

This pie is healthy and delicious.

That’s my friend Syd in my video. He likes cooking.

None of my friends’ hobbies are good for me.

But your video about hobbies is fantastic!

The next weekend.

Your video is great, Holly.

It’s interesting. It’s funny.

Everyone likes my video. And making videos makes me happy.

So, I think it’s a good hobby for me!
