LISTENING: Train Spotting as a hobby?
TRAIN SPOTTING, TRAIN SPOTTING, Train Spotting – someone is seriously pulling my leg.
What is it?
And, ( shut up!) is it a hobby?
Well, I’ve just watched the video and it isn’t surprising to me that train spotting is mostly an activity taken up by men. Basically, train spotting is a hobby where you do nothing for long periods of time. Train Spotting isn’t a hobby, it’s a way of getting out of doing the cooking, the cleaning and the shopping. I say, lazy, lazy, LAZY!
Oh, I know – please start complaining about my shameless stereotyping. However, I’m not the only one that thinks it’s weird. If you watch the video you are going to hear the following phrases:
- It’s a bit of an anorak hobby
- It’s a bit geeky
- As a hobby I think that’s quite disgusting actually
- I think it’s highly popular, if I had the time I might even do it myself although it does belong to a certain part of the anorak community
- I haven’t got the faintest idea what it is?
