Now it's time to work. Using PowerPoint, create a presentation about your hobbies when you were a child (childhood hobbies) and your hobbies now (current hobbies). Your presentation must include the following:

• 2 hobbies from your childhood
• 2 hobbies you have now
• Visual support: pictures

You need to include also voice narration over each slide (one slide per hobby). Each audio track must include the following:

• Name of the hobby
• When you used to practice or play it. / When you practice or play it.
• How often (frequency)
• Where you used to practice or play it. / Where you practice or play it.
• Who you used to practice or play it with. / Who you practice or play it.
• Why you enjoyed it. / Why you enjoy it.

Example:

• The name of my childhood hobby is hopscotch.
• I used to play hopscotch when I was at school.
• I used to play it two or three times a week.
• I played it on the street or at my school.
• I played it with my classmates, my neighbors, or my cousins.
• I liked it because it was entertaining, we spent time together, we laughed a lot, and I was very good at it.

In order to practice the correct pronunciation, you can use any text-to-speech service, such as imtranslator.net.

After completing your presentation, save it on Google Drive or any other cloud storage service. Then, go to the end of this post and share the link to your presentation through the comments.
