Some people say that having
а
hobby is important for everyone.
Today, people have
а
lot of options for spending their free time. Some people prefer doing
something that actually interests, relaxes or excites them such as painting or playing sports,
while others admit that they do not have
а
hobby. But can we live happily without having а
hobby?
In my opinion, everybody should have
а
hobby. Firstly, hobbles help us to relax and reduce
stress. For example, yoga, knitting and gardening help to calm your nerves and to relieve
tension after а hard day. Secondly, having а hobby can lead to acquiring skills, knowledge, and
experience. Our interests enrich our lives and help us to gain а better understanding of how the
world works. Besides, hobbles give people much room for self-expression.
However, some people say that having а hobby takes much time and energy, and they cannot fit
their interests into their busy schedules. ln addition, sometimes we have to dedicate plenty of
money to the activities that we enjoy doing.
But 1 believe that if you are fond of doing something, you will willingly give much attention
and effort to your interests. Some people even manage to turn hobbles like photography,
painting or writing into money-making businesses.

sum up, hobbles make our lives more interesting and provide many social and health
benefits. They play а very important educational role, improve our physical and mental health
and provide us with motivation to increase our knowledge and to improve our skills. ln my
opinion, all hobbles are beneficial, though it is not always easy to find the right one.
