Neil
Georgie: 业余爱好是工作、学习或周末以外的活动。她自己参加合唱团，每周练习一次，为圣诞音乐会做准备，非常享受和朋友一起唱歌的过程，这让她感到放松和快乐。她还谈到了规律性地做某事的重要性，并以自己经常喝咖啡，但不经常买午餐为例。
Neil: 他的业余爱好是弹吉他，但他没有受过专业训练，不会乐谱。他希望学习钢琴，并计划和Georgie的合唱团一起演奏。他还喜欢跑步和瑜伽，但跑步的频率并不规律，通常每月一次。他认为坚持跑步的规律性很难，一旦中断就很难再坚持下去。他还有一个不寻常的爱好是制作泡菜，他觉得这个过程很放松，而且需要时间，这与快节奏的现代生活形成对比，让他感到满足。
Neil: 我的爱好是弹吉他，虽然时间不固定，有时会连续弹很久，有时好几周都不碰。我打算学习钢琴，这样可以和Georgie的合唱团一起演奏。我还喜欢运动，比如跑步和瑜伽，但是跑步不是很规律，大概一个月一次。我觉得保持运动的规律性很难，一旦中断就很难再继续。我还喜欢做泡菜，这是一种很放松的活动，需要时间和耐心，这和我们快节奏的生活很不一样，让我感觉很满足。
