V. READINGRead the three texts. For each question, choose the correct person.

A. Drew has lots of hobbies, but they are all the same in one way. He doesn't do any of
them at the sports center or in the local park. He can do all of them in his bedroom
while he watches TV or listens to music. In his room he has many of the things from
his hobbies – a sweater, a scarf, a model boat, and lots of drawings of animals. He
spends all his pocket money on his hobbies.
Don
B. Don loved making models of ships for many years. He has many of them on the
shelves of his bedroom. But he made nearly all the ships he was interested in. He still
makes models when people give them to him as presents, but now he prefers playing
board games online with his friends. Sometimes they have competitions.
Edward

C. In the past, Edward's parents got angry with him about his hobbies. 'We buy you all
the things for soccer, table tennis, or drawing, and then you say you are not interested
in those hobbies anymore.' Edward still starts new hobbies all the time, but now his
parents think it's good, because a hobby website pays him to write about each new
hobby. He pays for the things he needs now himself.
