PART I

Gina Jones and her sister Karen have the same hobby. They both love pictures. In fact, they are both in a photography club. But they don't take pictures of their friends or the interesting places they go to. They take photographs of other people taking photographs! They have a big collection of photos – more than 2,000. They write a blog about their hobby, and you can see all their photos there. The sisters don't know the people in their photos. They are just people they see on the street. But they always ask them if they can use the photos for their blog. Most people say yes.

PART II

Dan Baker, has an unusual hobby for a 58-year-old man. He loves roller coasters.

His favorites are Nemesis and Th13teen. He doesn't take his wife with him – she hates roller coasters – but he often takes his grandchildren or his brother. He also collects postcards of roller coasters. Every vacation he travels to theme parks in different countries: Six Flags in Mexico, PortAventura in Spain, Everland in South Korea. But Dan wants more. He wants to ride every roller coaster in the world.
