　　Helping your child choose a hobby is very good for him or her．They can learn a lot when they are enjoying themselves．Here are some tips that may help．

　　●Match your child's interests．If she likes to cook, buy her a cookbook．If he likes collecting baseball cards, buy him a special scrapbook．Show them your interests and support their interests．

　　●Try different hobbies．Introduce(介绍)a new hobby as a birthday or a holiday gift．In trying something quite different, your child may become interested in it or at least get to know a new thing．

　　●Share(共享)a hobby with your child．Take an art class as a family．Go for a mountain climbing together．Spending family time doing fun things can make a healthy and nice relationship(关系)．

　　●Don't push your interests to your child．Let children choose(选择)their own(自己的)interests though you can always introduce them to new one．Don't show your unhappiness when they choose something different from what you think of．

　　Hobbies are a great way for children to learn new things．Help your children to try different interests until they choose one they want to learn more about．

　　Computers are very important to modern(现代的)life．Many people think that in the future computers will be used in lots of everyday life．It is thought that we won’t have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the internet．There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts from computers．The internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food．Most telephone calls will be made by computers．

　　Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communicating(交流)．Others do not think that computers will replace(取代)our old ways．

　　Let’s look at books, for example．Some people think that one day we will not read books made of paper．Instead, we will buy and read books using computers．We will read texts on small pocket computers．The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time．We won’t need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved, Computerized(计算机化的)books will be used more and more．

　　Is internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop?Many people say it is not．It is a pleasure to go into shops and look at things you want to buy．Also probably people won’t like to read large texts on our computers．Because paper books seem to be more friendly．Maybe computers won’t change these two habits(习惯)．
