    Like fashion, hobbies change with the times. In our days, a lot of hobbies use technology: we take digital photos and post them online and children play computer games. But what did people use to do before this technology? Let's take a look at some hobbies that were popular more than 100 years ago.

    Many of the sports that we play today were popular in the past, too. Football became popular and had rules for the first time in the 19th century. Many football clubs were started by employers, so that workers could play and stay fit. Football was a man sports but both men and women played other sports, like tennis and croquet. Unfortunately, the long skirts worn at that time didn't help women with their games at all!

    Many girls and women spent their spare times doing sewing and embroidery. They used a needle and thread to make tiny stitches on a piece of fabric. They made clothes and accessories such as scarves and gloves. They also made home decorations. They created beautiful pictures of flowers, birds and other patterns. They also used to embroider cushions, tablecloths and rugs.

    Girls in the 19th century used to play with dolls and doll's houses. At that time, toys were handmade. The doll's heads were often made of china and the bodies were made of wood. Rocking horses were also very popular. They were made of wood and their tails were made of real horsehair. Boys used to play with toys trains and railways.

    Finally, people in the 19th century loved nature, so one popular hobby was collecting and drawing butterflies. People used to catch butterflies in nets and fix them on special boards with pins. They used to draw pictures that showed all the details and colours of the beautiful insects.

Past or present, hobbies are a great way to pass the time. They help us show our creativity and used our imagination.

People joke that no one in Los Angeles reads ; everyone watches TV , rents videos , or goes to the movies. The most popular reading material is comic books , movie magazines , and TV guides . City libraries have only 10 percent of the traffic that car washes  have. But how do you explain this? An annual book festival in west Los Angeles is" sold-out" year after year.

This outdoor festival , sponsored by a newspaper , occurs every April for one weekend . This year's attendance was estimated(ước đoán) at 70,000 on Saturday and 75,000 on Sunday . People came from all over California.

A food court sold all kinds of popular and ethnic (truyền thống) foods, from American hamburgers to Hawaiian shave ice drinks . Except for a $7 parking fee, the festival was free. Even so , some people avoided the food court prices by sneaking (lẩn trốn, ăn trộm)in their town sandwiches and drinks.

The idea for the festival occurred years ago , and book festivals were already popular in other US cities, but nobody knew if it would succeed in Los Angeles . " Angelenos are very unpredictable, (không thể đoán được) " said one of the festival founders.
