The hobbies by Alvaro

Hello classmates,

I’m writting to tell you about hobbies. I think that  people's hobbies undergo changes because of the age.  I know many people that when they were teenagers had some hobbies but at present they have other totally different ones.

Since I was ten until I was eighteen, more o less, I went with my parents to fish around many lakes and rivers in Aragon, such as Caspe Lake, Mequinenza Lake, Ebro River, Gallego River, etc.

As my dad was a member of a fishing club, we went to the yearly club competition or ”tournament”. The competition lasted from autumn until spring, going fishing usually once a week but also skipping some week . The tournament consisted of fishing the most number of fish as possible within four hours, and when the time was finished one or two people went  to weight all that fish.  If my memory serves me well, one fish, that is “one piece” was a hundred points and one kilo,  one hundred points, too.

At the end of the competition, the referee with his assistant anounced people's score and a celebration with meals and drinks was prepared  to award the champions.

I won the teenager's tournament two consecutive years and my brother also won another two years.

In summer many members of my family went to the Caspe Lake and we did a little competition fishing among ourselves. We ate same salads and sandwiches while fishing and we spent a nice day. 

At present, I have completely different hobbies such as, reading ,watching TV series with my wife... and I really like so much going to any village in the Pyrenees or another nice place near Zaragoza and then go hiking. 

But actually I haven’t got enough time for enjoying all my hobbies, so I try to read every night but  some nights I can’t do it, I feel exhausted.  It's the same with my other hobbies, I haven't got enough time due to my work.   I don't know if something similar happens to you.

Thanks for your attention, see you in class.
