Advertisement about a leisure time activity

Some people say that it is very important for everybody to have a hobby. Others do nothing but watch TV or listen to music in their free time.
Our lives would be hard without rest and recreation. People have quite different ideas of how to spend their free time. For some of them the only way to relax is watching TV or drinking beer. But other people use their spare time getting maximum benefit from it.
I strongly feel that hobbies make our lives much more interesting. There are different kinds of hobbies such as reading, cooking, knitting, collecting, playing a musical instrument, painting, photography, dancing, travelling, sports and many others. So you can always find an exciting activity which you will certainly like. Personally, I am fond of camping. To my mind, it is a great opportunity to get away from town life. What is more, camping is a cheap way to rest, to improve your health, to train yourself physically and to enjoy nature.
Nevertheless, quite a lot of people have no hobby. Most of them say that they are too busy or too tired to do anything in their free time. But I am sure that such people are lazy and passive and their lives are dull and uneventful.
In general, having a hobby is very important for everybody because it is a kind of self-expression and the way to understand other people and the whole world. A hobby makes you stronger physically and mentally, helps you escape from reality, improve your knowledge, broaden your mind, develop your skills and gain a better understanding of how the world works.

Vitus Jonassen Bering, also known as Ivan Ivanovich Bering, was born in August 1681, in Horsens, Denmark. He was a Danish map-maker and explorer in Russian service, and an officer in the Russian Navy. Bering is known for exploration of the Bering Strait and Alaska.  

Vitus Bering was the captain of the First Kamchatka Expedition and the Great Northern Expedition. In July 1728 Bering set sail from the Siberian peninsula of Kamchatka and in August passed through the Bering Strait into the Arctic Ocean. In spite of the bad weather he concluded that Siberia and America were not joined.  

During the reign of Empress Anna, in 1741, Bering's expidition mapped much of the Arctic coast of Siberia. Bering sailed into the Gulf of Alaska and explored the southwestern coast, the Alaska Peninsula, and the Aleutian Islands. He died in December, 1741, on Bering Island, near the Kamchatka Peninsula.

The Bering Strait, the Bering Sea, Bering Island, the Bering Glacier and the Bering Land Bridge were all named in his honor.

Витус Йонассен Беринг, также известный как Иван Иванович Беринг, родился в августе 1681 года в городе Хорсенс, в Дании. Он был датским картографом и исследователем на службе в России и офицером военно-морского флота России. Беринг известен как исследователь Берингова пролива и Аляски.

Витус Беринг был капитаном Первой Камчатской Экспедиции и Великой Северной Экспедиции. В июле 1728 года Беринг отплыл от Сибирского полуострова на Камчатку и в августе через Берингов пролив в Северный Ледовитый океан. Несмотря на плохую погоду, он пришел к выводу, что Сибирь и Америка не соединяются.

Во время правления императрицы Анны, в 1741 году, экспедиция Беринга нанесла на карту большую часть арктического побережья Сибири. Беринг отправился в залив Аляска и разведал юго-западное побережье, полуостров Аляска и Алеутские острова. Он умер в декабре 1741 года на острове Беринга, недалеко от Камчатского полуострова.

В его честь были названы Берингов пролив, Берингово море, остров Беринга, ледник Беринга и заповедник Беринг-Лэнд-Бридж.
