So today we will talk about our hobbies.
So, Tanya, let me begin asking you questions.
What hobbied do you have? What do you like doing?
My hobby... so to say...
As I live in a small town,
where the nature is just splendid,
there are lakes, forests, fields around,
that's why my favourite hobby is bike riding!
Biking, uh-huh.
So well in the evening, having come from work,
to mount the bike and treadle, treadle
until you get tired.
Yeah, then ride to some lake
and there you just swim, lie down, read a book.
It is a bliss!
And don't you get bored to treaddle,
do you like this monotony?
And why monotony? I just...
Well your legs, they sort of treadle automatically,
and I look at the clouds,
contemplate. Yes-yes!
Think to myself about something.
Sometime, of course, the cars disturb me, when they beep.
But usually I look around.
This is kinda interesting.
And the treadles are going automarically, the legs are... everything is fine.
OK so just biking in terms of sport or something else?
Well in winter, when there's no opportunity, for example, to ride a bike,
I haven't fallen into this winter sport yet,
skiing, well the usual classics, well for myself.
So to ski.
Yes, skiing or going to the swimming pool for example.
And I also like going on short hikes.
Well one-day, two-days hikes, on skis, in summer on bikes.
Just to go rafting for several days.
This is a bliss. But again solitude in nature.
There! There is my hobby - solitude in nature.
So what have you listed?
You like riding a bike,
skiing, going to the swimming pool,
hiking, right? Yes.
And running? Do you like running?
No, I don't like running yet.
But maybe in future..
Maybe it is necessary so to say,
to take part on some competitions.
As the town is small,
one needs to entertain oneself with something. Yes.
Look, and what do you say about extreme sports?
For example the parachute? Yes!
Oh well once I tried skydiving actually.
I liked it a lot.
But as a hobby, I don't know.
You need to jump very often. But I don't have an opportunity, so to say.
First of all it is expensive. Yes this is financially very expensive,
And you can't go here and there often.
That is we actually... Well in my town there is such a...
a kind of a sailing club, with the sails and everything, to sail on the water.
And we don't have a skydiving one yet.
That's why there's not opportunity.
And mountain skiing? Snowboard?
This is my dream, but the dream has not come true for several years.
That is for several winters.
You need to work on this dream.
Do you want to try, right? Yes, I do.
Before I wanted to on a snowboard, and now I want on downhill skis.
And why do skis attract you more now?
It somehow got stuck in my head, that the snowboard and ...
you have both legs strapped and you won't get anywhere.
As I ski on usual classics,
so I kind of wwant to try downhill skis at least.
It is closer to you so to say. Yes.
OK, so now ask me some questions.
Antonina, and what is you favourite well hobby
or in general what hobby.
Do you like sport?
So I like sport a little.
Actually like sport.
To tell you the truth at school actually I was not an athletic girl at all.
I was in fact so feeble, weak.
But at the university I came to like it somehow.
I went on athletics.
Really? Ran, jumped, yes.
And I liked it. But actually already at the end of school I was getting better at it.
And at the university I took up athletics.
And since then, later I married a guy, who also likes sport.
And yes it is somehow closer already.
Actually it is written here, you can probably see it?
Europe Asia International Marathon.
And did you run it?
Yes, I ran the year before last ten kilometers
at Europe Asia, yes,
within the marathon, yeah.
And my husband runs marathons,
and I less, ten kilometers is maximum for me so far.
There, but in general I like running.
What... I also like bike riding,
but actually I manage to do it not so often.
That it I run more often or sometimes I just do fitness or yoga.
Well stretching, I like this and exercises.
But running is somehow more dynamic, so in the street.
So the same way you like treadling, Ilike running.
Also think to yourself, look on the nature around and so on.
So in general I like sport.
I like hiking too,
We also went with Tanya... two times we went on Konzhak, right?
We went two times... Second time I took my friends too.
Yes, on the mountain marathon we went with Tanya, on Konzhak.
And actually we liked it a lot.
I'd like to go there again of course.
Yes, I'd like it again of course.
So starting from this Konzhak there began my love to hiking so to say,
to such long... well walking long distances.
So you kind of try yourself... well...
and want to kind of...
How can I express the idea?
Yes, these fillers - как бы (kind of).
I actually made a video recently about it, junk words.
And you actually demonstrate it.
But it is OK, native speakers kinda...
There again, kinda, it appears in my speech also often.
Native speakers often use junk words.
Well, what can you do, we need to try to get rid of them.
But it's hard, OK.
OK, someone wants something from Tanya.
So all in all sport is cool, we like it.
When it is possible we do it, but we are amateurs of course.
So we are no pros.
And we do it for our pleasure, when we have time, when we have an opportunity, we do it.
We just like doing it. Yes.
And as for you, write in the comments, whether you like sport.
What do you do? We are very curious, we will read.
And that's it for today. There we talked about hobbies and sport a little.
We will continue this topic, we will talk about other kinds of hobbies.
And see you in our next episode, bye!
