20.one man in a boat
Fishing is my favourite sport. I often fish for hours without catching anything. But this does not worry me. Some fishermen are unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish. I am even less lucky. I never catch anything -- not even old boots. After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always go home with an empty bag. 'You must give up fishing!' my friends say. 'It's a waste of time.' But they don't realize one important thing. I'm not really interested in fishing. I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all!.

Fishing is my hobby even though I am not good at catching fish. But I am not upset about it. All my friends suggest that I should abandon fishing since it is a waste of time, but I don’t think I should. As they don’t know, it is not catching fish that attracts me; it is sitting in the boat doing nothing that makes me happy
