* Marty likes eating. There's no
surprise he started to learn how
to prepare his favourite dishes.
He's just a beginner and maybe
he could practise it more often.
* Writing is a daily activity
which needs endurance, but the
boy whose hobby it is does it for
years.
* Mavis doesn't like dancing.
Last year she had her first
concert
and
luckily
the
rehearsing doesn't take so
much time so she can go out

with her friends.
* Who practises three times a
week, started it when s/he was
9 years old.
