Quiz playing is a wonderful way to increase your knowledge of English as a Second Language. Remember that all of our ESL quizzes have titles that are both friendly and technical at the same time… In the case of this quiz you might like to tell your friends about the “Free Time Fun Quiz” but no doubt your teachers will talk about “Hobby and Pastime Words and Terms”. If you hear a technical term and you want to find a quiz about the subject then just look through the list of quiz titles until you find what you need.
What hobbies, or pastimes, do you enjoy for your 'free time fun'? We're sure you will want to talk about your enthusiasms and share them with other people who speak English but how prepared are you to make conversation about your hobby? Do you know the correct words and terms to use? Let's see!
Chickens (Answer 1) have other advantages for us (e.g. they lay lots of good eggs) but they can't navigate as well as pigeons do.
'Swan-upping' (Answer 3) is a ceremony each year when the British Queen sends a special man in a boat, all the way up the River Thames from London to the town of Abingdon, a distance of well over 100km. During his journey, he checks all the swans that he finds ~ big, usually white river-birds ~ to make sure they are healthy, and he marks them with a ring around their leg. According to tradition, all the swans on the Thames belong to the Queen!
