Question
Now listen to the conversation and check your ideas. What is the connection between the two hobbies?
Answer
Colouring books and the maker movement are both relaxing and creative hobbies that have started to become popular.
Colouring books:
- depression (colouring is an alternative way of dealing with stress and depression)
- pattern (the books have all kinds of patterns)
- publish (the books are one of the biggest growth areas in publishing)
Maker movement:
- furniture (people make it)
- retail therapy (we are made to think that shopping is relaxing and will make us feel better, but the opposite is true)
- personal (the things you make are more personal than those you buy)
