Now, read about Nick's father's unusual hobby and check your answers.

My father has an unusual hobby: carving eggshells. As everyone knows, eggshells are fragile. My dad can make beautiful pieces of art from empty eggshells . It's amazing! He started the hobby five years ago after a trip to the US where he saw some carved eggshells in an art gallery. My father did not go to class to learn how to carve. He learned everything from the Internet. Some people say that this hobby is difficult and boring, but it isn't. All you need is time. It may ftake two weeks to complete one shell.
