Tastes differ. Different people like doing different things, different people have different hobbies. I've read that there are 1019 personal interests and ways to spend one's free time. You are lucky if you have a hobby because life becomes more interesting. We choose a hobby according to our character and taste.
Hobbies are divided into four large classes: doing things, making things, collecting things and learning things.
I think the most popular of all hobbies is doing things. It includes a wide variety of activities, everything from gardening to travelling and from chess to volleyball.
Many people go in for sports. It is their hobby. They go jogging, swimming, skating, skiing, train in clubs and different sections.
Gardening is one of the oldest of man's hobbies. It is a well-known fact that the English are very found of gardening or growing flowers, especially roses.
Playing computer games is a relatively new hobby but it is becoming more and more popular. Both grown-ups and children are fond of it.
I think that it is a very exciting hobby. Certainly it is interesting who the winner will be.
Making things includes drawing, painting, making sculpture, designing costumes, handicrafts, writing music or playing different musical instruments. For example, the former President of the USA plays the saxophone. President Eisenhower and Sir Winston Churchill were amateur painters.
Collecting things is one of the most popular kinds of hobbies. Almost everyone collects something at some period in his life. People usually collect stamps, coins, match-boxes, books, records, postcards, toys, watches. Some collections have no real value. Others become so large and valuable that they are housed in museums and galleries. Many world famous collections started in a small way with one or two items.
Learning things is one of the kinds of hobbies and one of the aspects of all hobbies. Learning things can include reading, learning foreing languages and so on. Learning things can also be by reading about the things a person is interested in. It is the most exciting aspect of a hobby.
