Task 1.

Read the text about children and their hobbies and fill in the table.

The four children were asked about what sports they liked. The two boys, Ivan and Taras, said their favourite sport was football but Mary and Anna, the two girls, didn`t like it at all. They think football is a boring game. All four children enjoy playing tennis. There is a tennis court near their house and they like going there at weekends. Ivan and the two girls like going swimming. Taras doesn`t like swimming at all. He thinks swimming pools are always too crowded and the sea is too cold. Taras doesn`t mind the cold when he is skiing. He loves skiing. He went on a skiing holiday with his family last year and had a wonderful time. Anna can ski too but she doesn`t like it very much.  She broke her leg when she went skiing last year. Neither Ivan nor Taras has ever been skiing. They say they don`t want even to try. They don`t think skiing is a sport for them. Taras and Mary love horses and often go riding. Anna went riding once but fell off and broke her arm. Now she doesn`t   like riding at all. Ivan prefers football, tennis or swimming to riding horses.
