Teen Hobbies
Emma, runner
I've been running for two years. I used to only run 1 or 2 kilometres, but now I run approximately 10. My
speed is also improving. In Brighton, I've joined a jogging club. I had never met any of the members before,
but now I consider them my friends. When my father was younger, he was a good runner who was quite
fit, but he stopped after injuring his knee. In fact, I need to order a new pair of running shoes which will be
just a simple pair. I don't believe that the more expensive ones help you run faster!
Mia, skateboarder
Most evenings, I go skating in the park. I know that's a lot, but the park is only a minute or two away from
my house, and I usually spend a couple of hours there if my friends are around. My cousin, who is quite
talented at skateboarding, occasionally joins us, and he teaches me a few new moves. I'm getting better all
the time!
Charlotte, rock climber
My best friend suggested I start rock climbing, and now we both do it. My friend's mother drives us once or
twice a month, but I'd like to do it once a week. I had no idea you needed so much equipment when I first
started, and it isn't cheap! But I love it. Climbing is something I don't think I'll ever grow tired of doing!
27. Emma used to run 2 years ago.
28. An expensive pair of running shoes will help you run faster.
29. Mia often goes skating in the morning.

week.
