MIKE’S HOBBIES AND INTERESTS

      Mike likes to spend most of his free time at home. He is tired after work, and usually relaxes in front of the TV for an hour. Sometimes, instead of watching TV, he reads news on the Internet, and about once a week, he sends an email to his family in Vietnam.

      Mike is also very musical. He enjoys playing the piano and the drums, but his favorite musical instrument to play is the guitar. He plays the guitar in a band. They usually practice at weekends, at his friend Paul’s house. In the past, they practiced in Paul’s house but his neighbor said that they were so noisy. Now they are practicing it in the garden.

Exercise 14. Read the passage carefully, and decide whether the sentences are True or False.

      Our school has a model club. The members of the club try to make water rockets. The students taking part in the club love discovering new things and learning science subjects. A water rocket doesn’t cost you much. You can use the things you have used such as empty bottles, old tyres of bicycles. The model has two main parts: the base and the rocket. The pump in the base is made up of water pipes and it can increase the pressure of water. The rocket made from empty bottles should have blades in its tail and a pointed head. These parts help the water go in the correct path as the members have planned. When we use the pump to increase the pressure of water, the rocket will take off and fly into the air. Our school club has just won the first prize on making water rockets.
