A passion for designer labels E. Technology freak 1. I'm crazy about all the new gadgets that come out. I spend most of my free time shopping or surfing the internet to check out the prices. The trouble is, nothing stays new for very long and you have to upgrade all the time. My mum says I spend too much on things I don't need. I can't help it-it's my passion. It's so exciting to keep up with the latest trends! 2. I have always been a very active person, always trying new sports and spending my time keeping fit. I enjoy sport, not only because it is healthy, but also because it is a good way to meet people. I'm really in to mountain biking at the moment and so I spend most weekends on trips. We sleep out in tents-it's cool! 3. You might think it strange that I spend so much time at the dog training centre. Most people my age are more interested in clubbing or hanging out at the mall. But, it's great to work with animals. My dog, Roy, has become so obedient now and I have helped my neighbour's dog as well. It started out as a hobby, but who knows? I might decide to do it as a career. 4. Running errands for people is what I enjoy doing most. I usually help my grandma on a Saturday with her shopping and sometimes do some gardening too. There's always something that you can do to help people. It doesn't have to be a big job that takes up all your time-even the small things can make a difference. I never take money for the work l do. I do it because I want to help. Тест на грамматику (8 баллов) 2. Выберите правильный вариант: 1. His favourite subject at school is … History.   A- B a C the 2.
