Hobbies
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, and learning
things. The most popular hobby group is doing things. It includes a wide
variety of activities, everything from gardening to traveling and from
chess to volleyball. Gardening is one of the oldest man's hobbies. It is
well-know fact that the English are very found of gardening and growing
flowers, especially roses. Both grown-ups and children are found of
playing different computer games. This is a relatively new hobby but it
is becoming more and more popular. Making things includes drawing,
painting, making sculpture, designing costumes, handicrafts and others.
Two of the most famous hobby painters were President Eisenhower and Sir
Winston Churchill. Some hobbyists write music or play musical
instruments.
President Bill Clinton, for example, plays the
saxophone. Almost everyone collects something at some period of his/her
life: stamps, coins, matchboxes, books, records, postcards, toys,
watches and other things. Some collections don't have real value. Others
become so large and so valuable that they are housed in museums and art
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, rare books and other art object. Often such private
collections are given to museums, libraries and public galleries so that
others might see them. No matter what kind of hobby a person has,
he/she always has the opportunity of learning from it. By reading about
the things he/she is interested in, he/she adds to what he knows.
Learning things can be the most exciting aspect of a hobby. So I think
that everyone should have a hobby, it is like the target of your life.
