Interests and Hobbies

Unit One Hobbies

Hobbies are something we do as an entertainment but we do not necessarily participate in. It is often the case that we first become interested in something, and then we practice it ourselves. When we often do it or practice it regularly for relaxation and get fun, it becomes our hobby. A hobby is something that we must be interested in doing, while interest is something we may not necessarily practice doing ourselves. They are activities we enjoy doing in our free time for fun or entertainment rather than being forced to get into. Interests are something that we have the desire to know more about,

Almost everyone has some kind of hobby. Some watch television or go to the movies; others participate in sports. Some surf the Internet or play computer games; others go window-shopping. Some keep pets or raise flowers; others paint pictures. Some collect postcards or stamps; others go fishing. Some play musical instruments or do the knitting; others take photos. And the list goes on. The choice of hobbies varies from person to person. It depends on individual talents and interests, and economic situations.
