What is a hobby? It is what you can and like to do, when you have free time. We choose a hobby according to our character and taste. When we have a hobby, our life becomes more interesting. Very often our hobby helps us to choose our future profession because we learn a lot of new things. Many people are interested in music. They collect records. Others like to read and collect books. People living in cities and towns like to be closer to nature and they spend their free time in the country. Some of us go on hikes, others prefer working in their gardens, taking photographs or knitting. For example, gardening and growing roses is the most common hobby among Englishmen.
