X. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.                                                

Almost everybody has some kinds of  hobby. My hobbies are listening to music and watching television.

I am very fond of music. When I am free, I often listen to my favourite songs from an old cassette recorder. At weekends, I usually go to music shops in the downtown areas to buy good CDs. Of the famous pop singers, I prefer Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Madonna and Paul MCCartney.

I also spend an hour after dinner watching news and documentary programmes. I particularly enjoy the programme “The World Here and There” because it boardens my knowledge of nature and human civilizations.

I think that my hobbies are very useful. They widen my knowledge, relax my mind, and make me feel better about myself.
