Okay, having fun in your free time. Let's open this lesson up. So, Havisha, do you

know what a hobby is? Yes, ma'am, something which you do in your free time.

Excellent. Tell me what is your favorite hobby?

um actually to be honest

um it's my hobby to write stories, or make some, makeup stories and store them

in my mind. Oh, do you ever write them down? Not much,

or zero. No? And why do you like to make up these

stories? Because I love to do, because I love to

do that. I I love to imagine. I keep on thinking, I

mean, I say, my hobby is just to imagine and make up stories which are unreal,

fantastic stories. and why do you like it

Fantastic uh, ma'am, am I right, fantastic means not real?

Oh, fantastic means really awesome like I had a fantastic ice cream. So, do you mean,

do you mean fantasy? Oh, yeah, fantasy. Is that the word you're confusing

with? Yes, so, so, fantasy.

I'll write it in the chat box for you. Yes, fantasy.

And, so you create these fantasy stories? Yes. And why do you like it

doing that? I have fun. It's like reading. Everybody

loves to read, loves to read stories. So when I make up stories

and love to share them with my siblings especially my sister. Ah, oh, so you tell

your stories then. Yes. So you are a, you could say, "I am

a storyteller."

Um, it's something like that I'll make a part of a story, she'll make

another, then I'll make half, she'll make another half like this keeps on going

Point to be noted here is that our story is never end. It's infinite and

one story is going to be infinite. Ah, ah, infinite, yes, infinite. Oh, wow,

that's so creative. That sounds like a lot of fun. How often

do you do this with your sister?

Um, almost every time. Oh, do you mean almost every day?

Yeah. Yeah, oh, amazing.

Now, tell me, Havisha, what is a hobby you don't like?

I don't like watching social media. That's one of the common ways you

pass the time. That is good. No social media, and why

don't you like social media? I don't like the way it is.

Some girls, some, for example, uh, yes, there's a platform

something like TikTok or something like that,. There. TikTok, yes. Oh, yeah.

There, people will be when people. There are some videos by which people simply

talk about things, and moreover in social media, we'll find many things mixed in it

Some may be untrue, and maybe not for my age, and I don't like the way they dress

up, here something will be visible, some torn clothes.

Yes, and I don't have TikTok either. I like

so some social media though. Like? but not TikTok. I like some social media. I like Instagram

because I'm a photographer and I love to look at photos of beautiful places

around the world and I love to travel so if I want to go

somewhere I will look on Instagram for photos of the places I want to visit and

it's very inspiring for me. Oh, wow, ma'am, I never knew, this Instagram is the platform where

we find photos filled because. Photos and videos, and then you can search what

you're looking for. So, for example, I'm gonna go travel to the north of

Argentina where I live and so I search and I find a beautiful photos and videos

and places to eat and maybe a hotel I want to stay at.

So, for me, it's like really good research. Oh, wow, that's very nice. That's very different than

TikTok. You might find those things on TikTok too, but I I agree with you,

it's not for me. Yes, I don't like TikTok, and I think I

never visited Instagram or Facebook. My mother never allowed me.

Uh, Facebook is okay. Um, you're not missing much. It's better

what you're doing now is making your beautiful stories, and using your

creativity, and not wasting your time, scrolling no, you're doing it right,

Havisha. Thank you ma'am. But you're also not wasting your time either because if

we work with the right things in social media that'll be nice but we are

watching negative things like listen that nowadays I'm talking about children, adults, do nice,

sometimes. Because children are always here and there, here and there, they just scrolling up. I don't know what will come up, what will not come. If you're

searching one that is good, I think you're also doing better.

Thank you, Havisha. Havisha, you're so mature. How old are you?

I'm 11 years old. You're, oh, 11.

Yes. You are so smart for 11. You are so wise.

Do people tell you that often? Yes.

[Laughter] Okay, let's see here, question number

three. What new hobby would you like to try?

Um, the Hobby which you just told that searching on YouTube instead, that some

photos about uh this place video and I think, it's near about hoikui something

like that you type. Oh, yes, yes, it's spelled like this

and it's in Argentina.

I could show you a picture. Would you like to see what Jujuy looks like? Sure,

ma'am. Let's see.

Let me share my screen with you and you will see these beautiful

mountains that I am going to go visit in October.

Can you see?

Oh, yes, I can. Yeah. So, this place is called,

um, this one, right here, in English, is called seven, the mountain

of seven colors because it has so many different colors.

Oh, wow, very beautiful! That's marvellous. Yes, marvellous, great word. I love that

word. Yes, and this one is called the mountain

of 14 colors in English. Yeah. Wow!

And, these are some salt flats with beautiful colored water. Yes.

So. Yeah, so that is jujue, Argentina.

Is there someplace that you would like to travel to?

Um, I would like to travel to, in my country, there is a place called Himalaya.

It's very cold there. So, I would like to travel over there.

So you want to go because it's cold. Because of the mountains.

Ah, so, is this, did you say the Himalaya Mountains?

Yes, the Himalaya Mountains, and it's something like that, skiing is there,

something like, oh you can go skiing. Yes, something like that, the background

is something like that. Oh, wow! Have you ever been skiing?

No, but I love it and I've heard that River Ganga flows from that.

Well, actually I collect magnets. So, when I travel, I buy a magnet. Do you know,

what a magnet is? Yes, ma'am. So, I buy a magnet of the places that I

have visited. So, I guess that's the only thing I collect. Yes.

Can you go hiking near where you live?

Um, I don't think that I've been hiking. Oh, would you like to go hiking? Sure!

Right, it's so nice to walk in nature. Yes.

Let's look at this, other hobby, here dancing. Do you like to dance?

No, not much. Not much? Yes, to be honest I have butterflies in the stomach to

dance. Does anyone in your family ever dance?

Yeah, one time, uh, once we were having a dance competition with my father. My

father was preparing. I was preparing. But, after one month,

everything is gone. Nothing. Yeah. I love when I see the the

different styles of Indian dancing. It's so beautiful the way they move their

hands. I can't do it. I don't know how but it's so beautiful.

Thank you so much.

Yes, how do they do it? I don't know.

I know something like that. So, maybe, that, that looks good.

Havisha, are you sure, you've never been a dancer?

Let's see, traveling is that something that is something you enjoy?

Um, I enjoy traveling, uh, but some, but I can't travel much. So, I can't say, I love

it. I can understand. Let's see, we also have video games. Do you play video games?

Um, I don't like playing video games. Me either.

What about photography? Do you like to take pictures?

You like to click pictures, but ma'am, we are not two peas in a pod.

I don't like to click pictures. That's okay. You don't have to like

everything, and I liked your expression, "we are not two peas in a pod."

Are you and your sister two peas in a pod?

Uh, we are not really, but she, she tries to become two peas in a pod.

Oh. She tries to be just like me Oh, she's younger then, yes, how old is she?

She is six years old. Oh,

She's super young. Oh, well, Haveisha, our time is up. It's

been so nice. [Music]
