Personally I prefer a folk and country music but I don’t mind any music that doesn’t make me feel depressed. Nowadays you can listen to the music anywhere in the church, music halls, shops, streets or restaurants. I like listening to the music at home at work and around the fireplace. I’ve got a CD player at home and cassette player at work. So I can make myself comfortable all day. I like listening to a guitar around the fireplace. I play the guitar as well but only for my pleasure.

Among my favourite music festivals belongs folk festival in Východná, Detva, Zuberec and Svidník and a country festival called Dobro fest in Trnava that I watch on TV.

Music takes part in our lives as a water or food. It expresses our mood and feelings. It can heel our sorrows. I think that music is very important thing for our being.

7. Popular hobbies in the past and nowadays

Nowadays it’s quite popular to learn foreign languages especially English, smoking, keeping a pet, keep fit in the gyms or gardening, playing the PC games or chatting on Internet.

In the past people did more gardening, they were meeting and talking to people and had more time for each other.

But no matter what we will still have hobbies and we will still look for a relaxation, joy and happiness.
