outdoors’ then yeah, I guess I get outdoor once a week.

I’m afraid not too often. I mean it’s not in my favor now. These days I’m so busy that

basically we prefer having a drink and a little chit chat instead of doing some sports.

growing more and more popular among the younger generation.

expand their social network.

14. Photos
14.1. Do you like to take photographs? Why?
If it were 3 to 4 years ago the answer would be a big no. But now it has become one of
my hobbies and I’m actually thinking of learning more about it. I had no idea what I can
do with my iPhone until I learned to make use of its wonderful camera as well as some
miracle apps. Unlike some people, I indeed want my photos to look unique, lively and a
little bit professional.
Vocabulary
To make use of (v) to use someone or something for a particular purpose, especially one
that brings a benefit to you
14.2. Do you prefer to take photos yourself or to have other people take your photos?
Why?
It would be way more comfortable taking photos myself, as I can see crystal-clear how
ridiculous my face expression looks like or if there’s something
on my hair or stuck
between my teeth. And in case it’s a scenery photo, I can apply the techniques I’ve
learned to produce stunning photos.
