A hobby is a
favorite pastime of a person. Hobbies
differ like tastes. If you have chosen a hobby according to your character and
taste you are lucky because your life becomes more interesting.
Hobbies are divided into four large classes: doing
things, making things, collecting things & learning things.
The most popular of all hobby groups is doing things
from gardening to traveling, from chess to volley-ball.
Making things
includes drawing, painting, making sculptures, designing costumes & playing
musical instruments. Almost everyone collects something at some period of his
life: stamps, coins, books, records, postcards toys.
Some collections
have no real value. Others become so large & valuable that they are housed
in museums & galleries. Many world-famous collections started in a small
way with one or two items. People with a good deal of money often collect
paintings, rate books and other art objects. Often such private collections are given to museums, libraries and
public galleries so that others might take pleasure in seeing them.
No matter what kind of hobby a person has, he always
has the choice of learning from it learning things can be the most exiting
aspect of a hobby.
My hobby is playing computer games. Both grown-ups and
children are fond of it now. It has become one of the most popular hobbies
nowadays. I think that playing with a computer is very interesting. It is not
only "wasting time" as some people say.
Computer games make us think things over properly,
they widen and develop our mind and imagination. I have a good collection of
different games and when I have some free time I play them with great pleasure.
My favorite game is...
Some of my friends have the same hobby and we like to
play together.
