My favourite hobby

An English schoolboy meets French children through the use of a tablet device and learns the French translations for various hobbies.

We meet Ben after school as he waits for his mum to take him swimming. While he is waiting, Ben links up online with friends in Marseille to find out about hobbies in France. Lili and Ingrid are about to go to their school gym to play volleyball. Ben tells the girls that he is waiting to go swimming and is, in fact, quite a good swimmer. Ben is keen to find out which hobbies are popular in France. The girls introduce Ben ‘virtually’ to pupils at their school to help him find out. They take their tablet around their school interviewing several fellow pupils.

They ask the question Tu aimes faire quoi? and find out about a wide variety of hobbies including guitar, piano, listening to music, reading, cycling, skateboarding, scuba diving, horse riding, drama, drawing and playing the drums. The girls meet up with Ulysse who is practising the guitar. He plays well. Ben then has to say goodbye to his friends as his mother has arrived to take him to his swimming lesson. The girls realise that Ben is not such a good swimmer after all.
