Hobbies
A thing we do in our free time for recreation and pleasure is called a hobby. Hobbies are practiced for interest and enjoyment. Some hobbies for some people are professions, for example, cooking as a hobby. The aim of a hobby is pleasure and personal fulfillment. In fact, anything
can be a hobby, from collecting stamps to doing extreme sports and making model airplanes.
As for me, I prefer to spend my free time doing such things: doing swimming; my hobby is collecting rare books, or listening to music in which I prefer jazz and classical music. Doing sports (I have been doing swimming since I was 7) helps me keep fit and be always in high spirits. The first reason why I collect books is that I am really fond of reading: books open to me a whole World of events and people. The second one is that collecting rare books is getting to know history better. Reading a book is getting information about the period it describes feeling its atmosphere and getting to know historical figures of the period.
I enjoy listening to music as music helps me relax and relieve stress. When I listen to music, classical, jazz, rap or any
other type of music I enjoy, I forget about the troubles of everyday life; music provides an escape from everyday problems. I can't say I prefer to listen to some definite kind of music all the time. The choice of music I listen to depends on my mood. I enjoy listening to classical music.
I like to visit the disco night clubs, but I do it very seldom, only when a lot of my friends gather with me.
And one of my favorite hobbies is to make hand-made articles from wood. I like to make such things as ships, airplanes and cars.
