Identifying facts and opinions
Facts are statements that are true. On the other hand, opinions express a feeling or belief. They may or may not be true. Look for key words like “think” or “believe” to help you identify whether a statement is an opinion.
Hobbies That Are Good for You
When work or school is over, what do you do to pass the time Do you spend time on your hobbies Reading or listening to music can help us to calm down after a busy day. Physical hobbies, such as playing tennis or doing yoga, can help us to keep fit. And some hobbies are creative. For example, people sometimes paint pictures to remember a beautiful landscape or object, or reduce stress.

Luca Bruno likes to be creative in his free time. But he doesn’t make art or write stories. Instead, this Italian teenager finds it fun to make mobile phone apps. He thinks that apps can be a great way to help people. He started programming when he was ten, after he read about famous businessmen who started out as programmers. His latest app allows people around the world to find study partners for learning Italian. They can learn Italian and make friends at the same time!

“It gives me such a sense of achievement to see people using the app,” says Luca. “I believe I’m helping people around the world to learn Italian!”

Some people prefer not to make things.They prefer to collect them! In India, Maya Badal doesn't collect coins or stamps. Instead, this teenage girl collects postcards!
“I know some people think postcards are rather old-fashioned, but I think they’re a good way to learn about different places,” Maya says. “I think it’s interesting to see the beautiful buildings and landscapes in foreign countries.”

Maya’s first postcard shows the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang. Her dad sent it to her when she was five, and she liked it so much that she put it up on her bedroom wall! Now there are over one hundred postcards from thirty-two countries on Maya's walls. She dreams of travelling to these places in the future!

Work Hard, Play Hard
It can be hard to make time for a hobby when we have many important things to do. But hobbies might be more important than you think.
Physical hobbies like going hiking or playing tennis can help you to stay healthy. They keep you fit, and they can even lower stress and improve your memory and concentration. Other types of hobbies can also keep us healthy. Some scientists believe that making music can lower our blood pressure and make our body stronger. This makes it harder for us to fall sick. Playing an instrument also keeps our brains young. So, if you think that playing the guitar is a waste of time, remember that this hobby is actually a great way to stay healthy!
Hobbies are also good for your emotional well-being. Creative hobbies like painting or writing can help you deal with negative emotions by giving you a way to express how you feel. They can even make you feel good about yourself! In one study, after just 45 minutes of making art, most of the participants reported feeling more confident in themselves!
However, while hobbies have many benefits, it is important to find the right balance. Playing computer games or chatting online may be fun, but such hobbies usually involve a lot of screen time. That could cause problems such as eye strain or poor sleep. These activities are also usually done alone, and that could cause some people to feel lonely. Why not choose an outdoor hobby instead Fresh air, green spaces, peace and quiet—these things help us to relax and feel good. And if you go hiking or fly a kite in the park, you can take a friend with you! Hanging out with friends reduces loneliness and can be a good way to build relationships.
Regardless of what your hobby is, it is important to make time for it. After all, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy!

5.What is your favourite hobby How does it help you
1.What are the two main ways in which hobbies can be good for us
They are good for our physical health (e.g., keep fit, reduce stress) and emotional well-being (e.g., express negative feelings, boost confidence).
2.Why might some people think that “playing the guitar is a waste of time”
Because they don’t realize its health benefits and only see it as time-consuming entertainment.
3.What does the writer mean by “it is important to find the right balance”
Choose hobbies that bring benefits, not harm. Avoid hobbies like too much screen time; pick better ones like outdoor activities.
4.What do you think “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” means Do you agree
It means only working without relaxing makes a person boring and tired. I agree. Rest and fun are necessary for a healthy and interesting life.
5.What is your favourite hobby How does it help you
