     My Hobby Is Drawing

People have hobbies because it is a way to relax or keep fit or have fun. Besides, hobbies help us to make new friends and to learn new things.

My hobby is drawing. I started to draw when I was three years old. I used to draw on any scrap of paper that I could find. I took coloured pencils or wax crayons and drew pictures of my favourite toys, animals, my family.  

I still like drawing with pens and pencils more than painting, although I have been painting in watercolours for a few years. I can say that I draw a lot and often. Whenever I have free time, I open my sketchbook and start drawing. It makes me happy and helps me to relax.

                                         Мое хобби — рисование

У людей есть хобби, потому что это расслабиться, или поддерживать себя в форме, или развлечься. Кроме того, хобби нам заводить новых друзей и узнавать что-то новое.

Мое хобби — рисование. Я начал(а) рисовать, когда мне было три года. Я рисовал(а) на любых клочках бумаги, которые только мог(ла) найти. Я брал(а) цветные карандаши или восковые мелки и рисовал(а) свои любимые игрушки, животных, мою семью.

Мне по-прежнему нравится рисовать ручками и карандашами больше, чем красками, хотя я рисую акварелью уже несколько лет.  Я могу сказать, что рисую много и часто. Каждый раз, когда у меня появляется свободное время, я открываю свой скетчбук и начинаю рисовать. Это делает меня счастливым (счастливой) и мне расслабиться.

Объяснение:

The extinction of certain animal species nowadays causes concern throughout the world, and it is believed that humanity is responsible for taking measures to reverse this trend. However, besides the impact of civilization on nature, some other possible reasons for such extinction need to be taken into account. The following paragraphs will shed light on the role of people in saving fauna and whether this issue could be completely controlled by human kind.

Firstly, there are obvious reasons why people should work towards protecting endangered animal species. Thus, each animal kind is an indispensable part of sophisticated natural biological processes, such as pollination or removing malevolent plants or animals, and protection of fauna is of paramount importance for people. From the practical side of the issue, saving species for the sake of preserving the aesthetic appearance of nature is essential, and, as an example, eco-tourism widely growing in popularity is seen as one of the tools in protecting nature at large and animals in particular.

Nonetheless, it would be wrong to put all the blame for animal extinction on humans as there are natural reasons for this phenomenon. To be more precise, some natural conditions may lead to species disappearance – climate change, epidemics or disasters of various kinds could heavily influence animals. On the other hand, with the growing human population, it would be quite hard to slow down the industrial production that not only provides for people, but at the same time pollutes the environment and negatively influences animals.

As a conclusion, it is imperative that people consolidate efforts in preventing animals from disappearing, and I totally support this attitude. Still, it is important to remember that natural circumstances that could hardly be controlled by human would continue to take their toll on animals.
