E. READING
I. Read the passage and choose the best answer.
The most interesting hobby that I have is playing the guitar. I have played guitar for three and 
a half years now and I am getting better at it every time I decide to play. Playing guitar keeps 
me doing something interesting at home instead of staring at the ceiling all the time. Actually, 
it is a very relaxing activity. It gives person some time to think and dream.
Guitar or guitars also give my room some personality. When it hangs on my wall it seems like 
a piece of art. I have two guitars - one is black acoustic one and the second is a yellow Spanish 
guitar. The last one was my first guitar and both of them are Yamaha products. I bought the 
classical one because it was required to learn guitar in my school. Since I am interested in 
blues, jazz and rock music I felt that I needed a change in my guitar play and that is why I 
bought the black acoustic one.
I can play many different songs and after 3 years of experience I have learned how to learn the 
songs to play them. My favorite songs that I have learned are Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to sorts of material. Many community centres and schools have evening or day classes and 
workshops where one can learn (6) ______________ and craft skills.
Although “crafts” today are usually hobbies (7) ______________ by amateurs, the word was 
used many centuries ago by (8) ______________ people who had a guild system. Young 
people were learned from a master-craftsman, i.e. they were “apprenticed”, and they often took 
many years to learn their skills to perfection.
