Among the amusements in England of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, especially in the May-day celebrations, was one known as the morris dance.Its original name had been “Moorish dance,” and some of the features, probably borrowed from the Moors of Spain, were long retained.Thus, although the group of characters costumed for the dance always included a Robin Hood, a Maid Marian, and a Friar Tuck, others, fantastically arrayed, were intended to represent Moorish dancers, some garbed as clowns, some with bells dangling from long hoods, and some with bells on their ankles.Usually also one of the Moors was represented as riding on an Arabian steed. The “steed” was a figure made of wicker, covered with hide or cloth to resemble a small horse, but actually fastened about the waist of the person supposed to be riding it.Its “rider” pranced about to show off the spirited nature of the steed. This make-believe steed became known as a hobbyhorse, probably because hobby had long been the term for a small horse, just as “dobbin” indicated a farm horse. From the use of the hobbyhorse in the morris dance, someone got the notion to convert it into a plaything for a child.Thus, since the sixteenth century some such imitation, variously constructed, has been a childhood favorite. Sometimes a child gets such enjoyment from his toy horse as to abandon all other playthings, and whenever awake, will furiously ride his hobbyhorse or hobby, which early became the shortened name.This favorite pastime was likened, even in the seventeenth century, to the devotion some men exhibit to a subject or an occupation that was at first taken up for amusement.Thus hobbyhorse, later shortened to hobby, came to denote any pursuit which is of great interest to an individual, though followed only for pleasure.

Привет! Меня зовут Алекс. В году мы жили в маленьком доме на даче. Там было две комнаты. Номера были не очень большие. У нас была маленькая кухня, ванная комната и туалет тоже. Наш дом был не очень удобным, он был довольно старый и не очень чистый. За домом было много фруктовых деревьев, а перед ним было много цветов. Мы любили наш дом, но мы хотели жить в городе в благоустроенной квартире и поэтому в мае мы уехали в Москву. Наша квартира не очень большая, на самом деле довольно маленький, но мне нравится. Есть 3 комнаты и кухня, ванная комната и туалет в нашей новой квартире. Наша квартира чистая и уютная. Моя комната хорошая. В номере есть письменный стол и книжный шкаф. Стены в моей комнате желтые и красивые фотографии на них. У меня есть хороший коричневый ковер на полу. это делает комнату
