Hobbies

Part 1:

1.Do you practice any hobbies?

Yes, I have a variety of interests. I like to play badminton, read novels, and, most importantly,
cook.

2.Is it necessary to have a hobby?

It would be uncomfortable to be bored. As a result, in order to enrich one's leisure time, one
should pursue new hobbies.

3.Is it bad to spend too much time on a hobby?

In my perspective, spending a lot of time on hobbies is not a bad thing because it helps you
to relax, improve, and enables us to enjoy our free time.

4.What recreational activities do you intend to pursue in the future?

In the future, I hope to do art and craft work, learn to golf, and swim in my spare time.

5.What are the most popular pastimes in your country?

Painting, cricket, and novel reading are popular pursuits of leisure in my country.

6.Why do you believe people have hobbies?

I believe that people have hobbies because they are naturally curious. People create
hobbies for their own pleasure, leisure, and recreation.

7.Do you feel that people's interests should be shared?

Yes, I believe that hobbies may be shared with others. Yoga, for example, is a form of
exercise that can be shared with others, whereas reading is an activity that can help you
enhance your vocabulary. Furthermore, regular reading allows you to share more knowledge
and use more sophisticated language.

Part 2:

Describe a leisure activity near or on the sea

Introduction:
Leisure activities are the stress-busters to any individual. In the recent past, people started
inclining towards a leisure activity near or on the sea to become stress-free. Similarly, I went
to a beach resort with my office colleagues to escape from the bustling city-life.

What is it?
We did boating, catamaran rides, canoeing and scuba diving during our stay. Each water
sport was well-planned and organised.
What do you need to prepare?
First, we must be mentally prepared to do any water sports. Since indulging in a leisure
activity near or on the sea will be fearful yet exciting, we should gain enough courage to do
so. Second, we need an overview of the activity and the safety measures given. Then, we
need a life jacket just in case. However, there will be experienced swimmers coming along
with us.

How easy or difficult is it?

The boating and catamaran rides were relaxing and had no difficulty. Whereas, canoeing
and scuba diving were difficult as they required certain skills. We had to practice swimming a
couple of times before getting into the water. Both canoeing and scuba diving were
exhaustic, at the same time, breathtaking. So even though it was difficult, it gave us the most
memorable experience.

And explain why you want to try it?

I love water sports, be it anything. I wanted to try it mainly because it is unimaginable to see
the world underwater. Since I watch NatGeo, Discovery, and other wildlife channels, I keep
thinking about adventurous activities. This trip to a beach resort finally paved the way for
experiencing the leisure activity on the sea.

Part 3:

1. What hobbies are common in your culture?

Answer: There are no common hobbies in our culture. Hobbies are developed based on
personal interests. I have seen people playing games, reading books, going for walks, and
writing poems and stories in their spare time. People get these hobbies because they feel
they are good at doing those things.

2. Are there any hobbies that you think are not worthwhile?
Answer: I don't know about any hobbies that are not worthwhile. We have hobbies so that
we can do something in our free time. If someone has a hobby that helps them in their free
time it is up to them to do it. Someone else’s hobby may seem silly to another person but we
cannot tell that it is not worthwhile.

3. Why do people have hobbies?

Answer: Hobbies are fun, and make us spend our free time effectively by doing something
that we love. It is also a stress reliever as we do something apart from our daily routine.
Hobbies are something that we enjoy doing without having to worry about anything. Hobbies
also have helped many people to earn money through a side hustle.

4. How important is it to encourage children to take up hobbies?

Answer: Hobbies are an excellent method to discover our hidden talents and passion. It
helps children to develop new skills in life. It is also a method to learn something new every
day. This way children can build confidence and self-esteem and also in the development of
their brains.
