2. That incompetent Harry forgot to translate another word in my Italian language book on leisure activities. How should he have translated "theater"?

4. Some people like to dance for recreation. Some people swing dance. Some people line dance. Some people even do ballet. Unfortunately Harry Vaderci was too lazy to translate the word "dance" in my Italian language book so you have to do it for me. Which of the following means "dancing"?
5. Everyone likes a nice walk. How would you say "walk" in Italian?
6. For some people going shopping is a leisure activity. This holds true for Italian people, also, which is why I was chagrined (which is from the French word for "vexed") to see that "going shopping" was not translated in my Italian book of leisure activities. What is Italian for "going shopping"?
7. Fishing is another activity enjoyed by people around the world. How would you say "fishing" in Italian?
8. One very healthy leisure activity is bike riding.

That is because old Harry doesn't know how to say "bike riding" in Italian. Do you?
9. Dice la "reading". Instead of "reading" what should it say in Italian?
