2. Read the passage and answer these questions below. (1point)
After retiring, my uncle – a lover of the sea- took up a strange leisure activity : he
spends most mornings at the beach, looking for things that the sea sends ashore. He says:
It’s a multi-beneficial leisure activity. I can get some exercise, blending, picking up, and
walking. I can breathe the fresh air and enjoy the vastness and quietness of the sea.
Sometimes I watch the children playing beach games and I feel years younger. At the
same time, I can also clean the beach. It’s volunteer work, isn’t it? Many of the things I
pick up from the beach are still useful to someone. I clean them and sell them at the
Sunday flea market in the town nearby. Do you know of any leisure activity that pays?
Mine does!
