What do you like to do in your free time?

Have you picked up any new hobbies recently?

Do you prefer spending your free time alone or with others?

Is there a hobby you would like to try in the future?

Do you think hobbies are important?

What do you like to do in your free time?

I'm really into football, so most weekends I play with friends at a local pitch. When the weather's bad I tend to stay in and watch documentaries, mainly about history.

Have you picked up any new hobbies recently?

Yes, I've started cooking a bit more seriously. It began during exam season as a way to take a break from studying, and now I try a new recipe almost every week.

Did you have the same hobbies when you were a child?

Partly. I've always loved football, but as a kid I also spent hours drawing, which I hardly ever do now. I suppose I just ran out of time for it once school got busier.

Is there a hobby you would like to try in the future?

I'd like to try rock climbing. A friend of mine goes to an indoor climbing centre in Tashkent, and it looks like a great way to stay fit and challenge yourself at the same time.
